Inside The Squared Circle: Cena Hurt, More Bad Raw Hosts, 'Taker-Michaels

Reportedly, John Cena will not be able to make the Royal Rumble due to some back issues. This would explain why Randy Orton won the triple-threat match on Raw; which determined W.W.E. Champion Sheamus’ opponent at the Rumble.

Brett DiBiase and Joe Hennig are the new F.C.W. Tag Team Champions. Interesting to note how many second and third-generation wrestlers there are. If wrestling is so bad as some suggest, why would they get into the biz?

Bryan Danielson lost to Low Ki last night at an F.C.W. show. Danielson is doing a short stint in the W.W.E.’s top developmental promotion. I know winning and losing doesn’t really matter in pro wrestling, but I hope this isn’t a portent of things to come in regards to Danielson’s future. Other than Kurt Angle, I think Danielson is the best pure wrestler out there. I hope W.W.E. doesn't blow it.

Upcoming Monday Night Raw Hosts:
Jan. 18: Jon Heder & Don Johnson

Jan. 25: James Roday & Dule Hill

Feb. 1: William Shatner

Vince McMahon said last Monday night that Bret Hart will never be seen in the W.W.E. again. So naturally, he’ll be on Raw this week.

One of – if not the – best matches I have ever seen was between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels at last year’s Wrestlemania. Michaels has already said he wants a rematch at this year’s Mania and ‘Taker will be at this week’s Raw to supposedly give his answer. Some people think that a rematch is not a good idea because it won’t live up to last year’s epic contest. But I think that even if it is half as good, the W.W.E. has a winner on its hands.

Ken “Mr. Kennedy” Anderson is rumored to be the “major acquisition” of T.N.A. that will debut at this Sunday’s Genesis pay-per-view.
