Here are some wrongly impressive statistics about the lack of originality in the WWE title scene. Since the creation of the World Heavyweight Title in 2002, every Raw title match on PPV bar two has featured Triple H, John Cena or Randy Orton – and the two exceptions both had Triple H in the main event nonetheless rather than the title match. On the Smackdown side of things, every PPV world title match since 2006 has featured Batista, Edge or The Undertaker, even though all three men have been out for lengthy periods since then.
A great many people in TNA are concerned about Kurt Angle’s well-being. Karen Angle was practically in hysterics backstage at Sacrfice whilst watching his match with A.J. Styles. She was consoled by Tomko, who assured her that Kurt was just working when he appeared to be out of it.
Scott Steiner is expected to be cleared to wrestle for the Victory Road PPV. His injury at Sacrifice was never acknowledged on-screen due to his heel character.
There is no talk backstage at TNA about bringing in the Ultimate Warrior.
