I don't know if she will be able to use her ring name in the WWE or anywhere else, but it is said that she owns it. If that is the case the WWE will probably not let her use her name and have her use a name they give her if she is added to the roster.

Right now all that is known is that she has sent in her resume to the WWE and the AAA promotion in Mexico. I would take the WWE in a heart beat, but if she can do well in Mexico to begin with, maybe TNA will take her back or the WWE will take notice.

I don't get why TNA released her to begin with, but it had to be a good reason. In any case, the WWE probably knows of her TNA past and will give her a try-out, but that does not mean she will be added to the roster.

If they give her a deal, it will probably be developmental to begin with. Then in about the next 6 months or so she could move up to a main roster.

Someone like Gail Kim who moved up faster probably did because she was so well known and was a part of the WWE in the past, she was a former Women's Champion after all. Not to mention a former Knockout Champion in TNA too.

Roxxi is not as well known, but she does have an "in" with Kim being there. So she possibly could get a deal.

If the WWE is pleased with the way she is doing in FCW, then obviously she will go up to a main roster faster.

But again, we will have to wait and see how the try-out goes before the WWE gives her any type of deal.

 

CM Punk Turning Heel?

As we all know by now CM Punk cashed in Money in the Bank on Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules this past Sunday. Hardy just got done with a hard fought Ladder Match and beat Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship.

When Punk cashed the MITB in on him, there was a mixed reaction in the crowd. Some booed, some cheered.

The same happened on SmackDown last night, as Punk came out there were many boos and some cheering.

For the first time in Punk's WWE career, other than the time he went heel briefly on ECW, he got more boos than cheers from the WWE Universe.

It was strange to see because Punk had been a fan favorite for some time. JR said it best when he said Punk is a fan favorite and so is Jeff, the difference is that Hardy is an emotional favorite.

Emotional favorites like Hardy are tough to get over on if your a face, because you will get booed if your not already an extremely over one yourself.

When you have a guy like Cena go over on him, it is different. Cena is a huge fan favorite for kids, women, and others. So when he goes over on Hardy then it is not as bad, also he has been in the WWE Spotlight for so long and has been a World Champion a few times too.

But even with Cena going over on him, he will still get booed a little. The "Rockstar" ovation Hardy gets is not dropped in by the WWE, he really gets that kind of reaction at shows because fans love him so much.

If your the WWE, and you want to turn someone heel, have them do Hardy wrong. Because he is liked so much, any person who goes against him is the bad guy.

So one would think Punk would go heel with all that said right? As Lee Corso says, Not so fast my friend.
