WWE Diva Gets Locker Room Heat, WWE Programming Changes

* As many of you already know, WWE Confidential has been cancelled by the WWE and replaced with a new show on Sunday mornings. The change was made definite after WWE officials agreed that they wanted to move away from shows based on "insider revelations" which is what Confidential's main focus was based on. They were also suffering from a lack of new ideas for the show and flat ratings on a weekly basis.

Due to the contractual requirements with Spike, the WWE had to fulfill a minimum number of programming slots, thus the reason for the news magazine-style program featuring both brands on Sunday mornings. Additionally, there are plans in the works to move Velocity to Saturdays at 7pm with Heat remaining at 7pm on Sundays.

* WWE Diva Nidia developed a significant about of heat in the Smackdown locker room according to many backstage. She was seen by many as a "kiss ass" and a "phony" backstage during her final months with the brand.
