Jeff Hardy Booking & Mysterio Contract News

News

The WWE.com story on Jeff Hardy’s hospital trip at Survivor Series was Michael Hayes’ idea. He pitched it, Vince McMahon approved it and Stephanie McMahon helped lay out the details to the creative team.

The original plan for the triple-threat match between Hardy, Triple H and Vladimir Kozlov was to protect Kozlov without putting the title on him. Hardy was added to the match to try and make it better rather than because they wanted to put the title onto him either. Vince was said to be ‘non-commital’ regarding the finish of the match until the Edge storyline came up.

Rey Mysterio is still negotiating a new contract with WWE. His current one expires next spring. WWE want him to sign a five-year deal but Mysterio only wants to make a three-year commitment, whilst there are also issues over merchandising deals.
