— Drew Hankinson (a.k.a. Festus) is still under contract to World Wrestling Entertainment, but sitting at home because creative has nothing for him. He has not appeared on television since June. There had been discussions of pairing him with CM Punk on SmackDown as a bodyguard, with the storyline being that he behaves the way he does because he’s always heavily medicated. It would have then been revealed that Punk got him off drugs and made him Straight edge.
— Tyler Reks will not be appearing on tonight’s episode of ECW — or this week’s edition of WWE Superstars for that matter — because he was not brought on the company’s trip overseas. On his Twitter account he said he’s visiting Florida Championship Wrestling headquarters today.
— The WWE website has posted photos of Rosa Mendes and Savannah sightseeing in Cologne, Germany.
