WWE News: There have been several names who could reportedly be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame's Class of 2011, from Sting to Goldberg to Lex Luger and even to Ted Turner.

But according to the Pro Wrestling Torch, a WWE source doubts that the company officials even know who will be inducted at this point.

The source noted that, outside of Shawn Michaels, no one else is a lock to join the WWE's elite class of legends in the Hall.

Though he did say that there are no "locks," the company source also indicated that reports of Arn Anderson and Ron Simmons being inducted are indeed true.

It has been rumored that the WWE will induct "three big names," but just who qualifies as a big name is up for debate.

WWE News: Former TNA Knockout Awesome Kong was signed by the WWE just last month, and there's been widespread speculation about how she will make her debut.

Well, we now have an update on when we can expect to see her in the company.

Kinda, sorta.

According to Mike Mooneyham, one of the best wrestling journalists out there, Kong is expected to start with the company "soon."

Now, I honestly have no idea what "soon" entails, which is why I wrote that we kinda, sorta have an update on when we'll see Kong in a WWE ring.

Anyway, be on the lookout for Kong to add some much needed drawing power to the WWE Divas division.

Coming soon.

WWE Royal Rumble 2011 is less than two weeks away, and we're finally getting a clearer picture of who will be involved in the first ever 40-Man Royal Rumble Match.

WWE.com posted a list of 21 wrestlers who will participate in the historic event, which takes place on Jan. 30 in Boston.

Here's the list:

Alberto Del Rio
CM Punk
Cody Rhodes
Daniel Bryan
Darren Young
David Hart Smith
David Otunga
Husky Harris
John Cena
John Morrison
Mark Henry
Michael McGillicutty
Primo
R-Truth
Rey Mysterio
Sheamus
Ted DiBiase
Tyson Kidd
William Regal
Yoshi Tatsu
Zack Ryder

Maybe it's just me, but that match looks like jobber city.

And with the pay-per-view taking place in Boston, I have this strange feeling some guy named John Cena's the current favorite to win.

WWE News: As we learned on last night's Raw, this year's Royal Rumble match will feature more wrestlers than any rumble in history: 40.

When Joey Styles tweeted the news yesterday, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross also tweeted his thoughts on the decision to expand the Rumble field:

"Watch what I say, the 40 man royal rumble match will be over analyzed by many. Gives 10 more paydays & adds ‘biggest ever’ mkt’ing hook."

According to sescoops.com, apparently the WWE is indeed trying to sell more pay-per-views by branding this year's Rumble match as the "biggest ever."

With the addition of 10 more men to the match, the interval between each wrestler entering the ring will likely be reduced from two minutes to 90 or 60 seconds.

I didn't think the company had enough men for a 30-man Rumble match.

Shows what I know, huh?

WWE News: Don't expect to see Hardcore Holly or Al Snow on the upcoming rival of the WWE reality show Tough Enough.

According to the Pro Wrestling Torch, one WWE source said that the company will not use the trainers—like Holly and Snow—from the show's original run.

In fact, his answer to that question was, "Not a chance in hell."

At least no one has to deal with Holly this time around, huh?

Anyway, the company official also noted that the WWE would likely use wrestlers or trainers who are currently affiliated with the organization.

As long as David Otunga and The Great Khali aren't teaching these guys how to sell moves, I think the Tough Enough contestants will be OK.

WWE News: If you've watched Raw since the breakup of Legacy (especially last night), you may have noticed that Ted DiBiase has gone from a main event angle to a firm spot as a jobber.

And according to the Pro Wrestling Torch, that could be partly because of...Maryse.

Though a WWE source indicated that there isn't a particular reason why DiBiase has been lost in the shuffle on Raw, several company officials have noted the struggles of Maryse on the show.

They indicated that Maryse is much more interested in getting people to look at her than she is at helping DiBiase draw heat from the crowd.

True.

Maryse, while incredibly hot and likely my future wife, hardly does anything as a valet.

Still, DiBiase's shown little charisma, so his current spot has a lot to do with his lack of development, too.

WWE News: CM Punk was involved in a little scuffle with a fan at the WWE supershow in Shreveport, Louisiana on Sunday.

Following his match, Punk reportedly approached several young fans and urged one, a kid around age 10, to slap him in the face.

The fan obliged, and Punk told the fan to slap him again.

The fan did it again, and Punk allegedly grabbed the child by the shirt and told him to do it yet again.

The young child reportedly began to cry, causing the kid's parents to yell at Punk, and Punk was heard yelling that the kid scratched him in the eye.

Wow. Talk about getting into your character, huh?

I don't know whether to think Punk crossed the line, or think it was hilarious.

I'm leaning toward the latter, though.

WWE News: At the conclusion of last night's Raw, we saw a huge wrestler interrupt the match between John Cena and CM Punk before subsequently revealing that he was a member of the new Nexus.

The beast of a man who made his WWE debut last night is Mason Ryan.

Ryan (real name: Barri Griffiths) is a 29-year-old wrestler from Wales who was signed to a WWE developmental deal in 2009.

The former UK Gladiators star, known as "Goliath," debuted in Florida Championship Wrestling in Jan. 2010 and has been the FCW Champion since last July.

In case you couldn't already tell, he is being compared by many in the company to "The Animal" Batista.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say Ryan was his long-lost twin.

Anyway, he is obviously expected to receive a big push right away on the Raw roster.
