They could set up and injury angle for the two, where Jericho hurts Edge after they lose causing an injury. Edge could come back and they could have a storyline together. It could be good to see.

People have wanted to cheer for Edge for a while, and now they can. Edge has not been a face since 2003 I believe, so he is due for a face run if you ask me.

 

ROH News

As we all know Ric Flair is able to work anywhere he wants because he did not sign a deal with the WWE.  So, that meant that he was able to work for the ROH tapings last Friday and Saturday.

He did interviews and even did promos this time around. There was a bit of controversy last time he was at ROH because he was having to step down from ROH as its ambassador to do work in the WWE.

Flair was not going to do promos for ROH like they wanted, nor was he going to stick around long, mainly because he had to leave for a WWE event. He didn't tell anyone about it, most likely to keep things secretive.

He didn't know what his WWE role would be, and was under the impression he was getting a WWE contract of some sort.

He didn't get it, although the WWE does have plans for him in the future according to reports.

Now, he can do whatever he wants in ROH. He does love the company and what it represents, so this should be the only promotion he will work with outside the WWE. He does not wish to work for TNA, he said in the past he could care less about working there.

"Their only focus is beating Vince", he said. "ROH doesn't want to put people out of business, they are just doing their own thing."

Flair will probably be doing other appearances off and on with ROH in the future.

Shawn Spears, former WWE Star Gavin Spears was at ROH TV tapings for HDNet on July 17 and July 18. Spears recently had a tryout match with TNA earlier this month in a match with former WWE star Elijah Burke.

It is not clear if either will get a TNA contract, but if Spears can do well in his appearances on ROH, they will want to keep him around for sure.

I personally like this guy, and I know what he can do in the ring. He reminds me of Randy Orton a lot, and he could really be a great addition to ROH's young roster.

 

ECW News

If you saw WWE.com, they have Tiffany as a Full-Fledged GM now and not just Interim as she has been for some time now. Therefore, we will see her there for a while. Its better than seeing Teddy Long there, no offense Teddy, but Tiffany is hotter.

This comes as a surprise because the WWE has not been happy with her in her role. She has actually been in talks within the WWE as the person to take over for Lilian Garcia in the RAW announcing job.

As we all saw, 4 new stars debuted on ECW this past week. Yoshi Tatsu, Abraham Washington, Sheamus, and Tyler Reks.

Tatsu was basically made fun of by Shelton Benjamin for a few minutes, which lasted longer than the match itself. Tatsu kicked him in the head, and got the 3 count. If you don't know a lot about this man, I ask you to look him up on youtube, he is very impressive.

Washington was not a fun person to see, he is obviously doing a talk show gimmick, as he had The Bella Twins on his talk show. He was both face and heel in the talk show, so it is unclear what role he will have.
