We could see Stephanie or even Vince take over on RAW considering both would fit the storyline and have done GM work in the past. Plus they are McMahons, so if one wants to do it, they certainly will.
However, if you give Flair a deal and you don't want him to come out of retirement under it, then why wouldn't you have him be the RAW GM? Many people and websites are saying Flair looks to be the guy, so look for it to most likely happen next week.
WWE Releases WWE Superstars
As I mentioned in the last 411, I promised to keep you updated on the people from developmental being released.
Word coming out of the WWE is that they have released Jon Cutler, who is a great wrestler if you ask me. He was liked for his in-ring ability, but suffered mic wise. That certainly could have been why he was let go.
He had also been around for a while and hadn't been brought up. Apparently he just took up space for them.
As reported yesterday here on B/R and on other sites, WWE SmackDown Superstar Umaga has been released.
This is the second surprising superstar to be let go within the last few weeks. If you remember, Mr. Kennedy was let go, too.
While many believe the Kennedy release was a bit hasty by management, not as many are disputing Umaga's release as you would think.
If you ask me, he was one of the best athletes I had ever seen at his size. He was a super heavyweight and moved like a man half his size, which was unique.
The rumor going around was that he violated the Wellness Policy, which was his final strike. I think it makes more sense to people after hearing that.
Still, it was a little surprising considering he just competed against CM Punk at the Extreme Rules PPV a day before the release. I feel we were just about to see a turn in his character when he spoke English on WWE TV for the first time.
But if you continue to violate the rules set forth by the WWE then you deserve to be let go. He may go to TNA, considering he wrestled there after he was let go from the WWE the first time.
But I could easily see them going for Kennedy instead. Regardless, both could help to bring in some ratings to TNA.
WWE Injuries
As we all know by now Batista is really injured, not just storylined. He is set for surgery today at some point. He actually did not injure himself at Extreme Rules, but beforehand, about three weeks. Not sure why the WWE decided to give him the Title anyway (surprisingly, it was the first time the WWE Championship changed hands in a Steel Cage Match).
I figured they would explain things a little more on RAW, yet I saw nothing that helped. Okay, we know we have a storyline injury for Batista. But what else did they explain for the WWE Title?
They obviously must be setting up something for the big RAW they are having next week where all the World Titles will be on the line.
We know the champions of both ECW and SmackDown will be there. But if Batista is having surgery today, he will not be able to compete next week.
