Throughout the next four weeks, she will invite former ECW talent to compete with current ECW wrestlers in “The ECW Homecoming.” Sixteen Superstars will compete one-on-one and eight will advance to The Homecoming Finale, featuring an Over-the-Top Rope Challenge on the January 12, 2010 edition of ECW on Syfy. The winner of the Challenge will receive an ECW Championship Match against Christian at the Royal Rumble.

— The creators of the WWE Heroes comic book were interviewed by Newsrama.com and discussed how WWE’s television storylines will tie into the WWE Heroes comic book universe. “We’ve got pretty free reign to do what we please,” Keith Champagne said. “The only instances we’ve had to change something based on the TV stuff has been removing a couple of WWE superstars when they left the WWE. If WWE doesn’t have the rights to use someone, we can’t. Otherwise, it’s the Wild West. By the way, the WWE has an AWESOME website we have access to listing tons of reference and photos of the people we can use, from classic superstars to modern day. I’ve spent hours in there getting lost… It’s only happened a couple of times and with WWE superstars who were more or less being featured in the comic in minor roles. So it’s been pretty easy to just surf the wave and do a little rewriting to line things back up. If Triple H or Undertaker were to suddenly leave, that would be a bit harder to fix at this stage of the game but so far, it’s been a problem so minor it’s not even worth mentioning.”
