WWE Rumors: Chris Jericho, Evan Bourne and Thursday's Top WWE News
WWE did not get the ratings boost that it was looking for to start the year. Raw actually did less total viewers than last week, which is amazing when you consider that this show was built around the "It Begins" (Chris Jericho) reveal.
It just goes to show that even though WWE loves to keep things a mystery, the company should probably start promoting big-name returns instead of trying to make people guess.
That little rant aside, we will have the latest news and information from the wacky world of professional wrestling. So sit back, relax and enjoy, and if you have an opinion, hit us in the comments section.

CHRIS JERICHO ANSWERS TO SOME MYSTERIOUS LADY
Fans have been caught up on the Jericho hype videos and the mysterious "She" that kept getting referred to. Apparently, WWE is not done giving us surprises because they are teasing that "She" is going to be making an appearance at some point.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Who is "She"?
Our Take: Anyone but Stephanie McMahon, please! I know that was a common name thrown around when the videos first started, but she is almost as bad as John Laurinaitis. Please, WWE, make it someone worthy of hanging around with Jericho.

The Jericho return was met with a lot of criticism from fans, though I personally thought it was fantastic, so hopefully this latest mystery will help tide them over.

EVAN BOURNE FEELING TRIPLE H'S WRATH
If you have been wondering why Bourne has not been getting the push that his reactions would seem to indicate that he deserves, it is because there are reportedly people backstage—Triple H—unhappy with how things went down when he was suspended for violating the wellness policy.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Why is Triple H angry?
Our Take: Bourne sold R-Truth out as being given a break when he was suspended because he was in the main event at Survivor Series. Yes, apparently Triple H gets all worked up about mundane things like that.

There was some sentiment that when Triple H eventually took over for Vince McMahon that the product would get better and the petty things that plague the current roster would go away. What fools we were, right?

CM PUNK JOINING THE LIST OF INJURED STARS
WWE must be cursed right now, because a lot of their top guys—Randy Orton, Mark Henry—and there are reports that CM Punk is starting to feel it following his match with Dolph Ziggler on Monday.
Question on Everybody's Mind: He is not going to miss time is he?
Our Take: It doesn't sound like it, at least not yet. He might take it easy on Raw for the next few weeks leading up to the Royal Rumble, which would be a smart move.
Hype Meter: 4 out of 5 Reasons WWE Needs More Depth
Anytime you hear about anyone being injured, even if it is just normal wear and tear, it is time to panic. WWE can't afford to lose anyone at this point, but each day it seems like there is a new report coming out about someone going down.

50 CENT LOVES SHAWN MICHAELS
In our fun story for the day, it turns out that Shawn Michaels has a fan in rapper 50 Cent. The song is an "Up! Remix" featuring 50, T.I. and Young Jeezy, and the reference is just a quick shout-out near the end.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Can we get 50 Cent to sing HBK's theme song?
Our Take: While Shawn Michaels does a good enough job singing to the world that he is a sexy boy, hearing 50 Cent do a remix of that would be entertaining, to say the least.
Hype Meter: 5 out of 5 Kicks To The Chin
Of all the things that I expected to write about Shawn Michaels, not once did I expect to hear him get referenced in a rap song. He is as country as they come, but it just goes to show the power of being awesome in WWE.
