~BREAKING NEWS~

Eric Bischoff has decided to leave the WWE! Writers are currently in a bind and both Shane & Stephanie McMahon have been trying to convince Bischoff to finish off his contract which expires next month.

Bischoff has not been real happy with the amount of television time he has got recently and has announced that he will work the next Smackdown! and Judgment Day but will not be back after the Pay Per View.

No news has yet to come about how Eric Bischoff will bow out on Smackdown! but it could be a way to move Edge & Christian to Smackdown! who recently did an angle on RAW where they quit.

In other WWE news Ivory will not be given a contract extension when her contract runs out at the end of May.

Christopher Nowinski, Garrison Cade & Antonio Thomas will all be called up to WWE RAW in the very near future. The three of them are no longer needed in oVw and will begin travelling with the RAW crew shortly after Judgment Day.

Originally, I had planned to walk into Judgment Day, beat you, 1-2-3 and walk away... But now, you've made things personal and my new plan is to walk into Judgment Day, beat your ass to within an inch of your life and then walk away with an easy victory and you laid out and not wrestling anymore...

Kurt Angle: This is the reason why I've never liked Smackdown!'s General Managers... You all discriminate against a true champion... an Olympic Gold Medalist...

~Post WWE Betrayal News~

Too many backstage within the WWE, Betrayal felt right. WWE Betrayal boasted some great ratings and the critics loved the quality of wrestling that was put on. Many are wondering where the WWE is heading after the event and questioned some of the turns but in the end the WWE feels they did what was right for business.

It seems as though the WWE has decided to give Ric Flair one last run at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship before he retires for good. That was the reason for the Flair face turn and DiBiase replacing him in Evolution. Look for the feud between Flair & Triple H to heat up in the coming weeks.

It is official, Raven, has signed a one-year deal with the WWE. It is expected that he will stay in an alliance with Chris Benoit against Kane for a while now before eventually breaking off on his own and possibly been pushed heavily.

At WWE Betrayal we also saw the debut of Magnus. Magnus showed the fans incredible strength as he completely demolished Christian. Magnus is very well liked by Shane & Stephanie McMahon and could be pushed straight away.

Speaking of Stephanie McMahon, with her brother on Smackdown!, we could very well see Stephanie McMahon show up on RAW in the coming months. She is trying to get herself into a managers role on the roster but the right spot hasnt been found just yet. Edge's name has been the one thrown around lately but after his big victory at Betrayal. It doesnt seem like he needs a manager.

On one last tidbit, it seems the WWE is leaning towards a split between The Hurricane & Tajiri. Tajiri is expected to be the one to make the heel turn especially after the incident from the PPV, even though they retained the belts.

Stay tuned for more news as it comes to us...

Very awesome thus far my man... Looking forward to seeing what happens in the US Title tournament... Hope you find someone to take over RAW because id really like to see that in this diary as well... Keep it up brother...

very nice show man... Heath is a woman beater nice... i cant wait to see where you go with that... keep it up man...

Awesome show man... would have loved a swerve ending with Haas winning or something and then he could have given up his shot to Benoit for an IC Shot or something like that... Was a good RAW though and the lottery was handled very well... Not a big fan of HBK vs Show but id like to see what you can do with it anyway...

Very nice show man... WrestleMania was awesome... Didnt really expect both world titles to change hands but glad they did... Interested in seeing who the masked wrestler is that attacked Booker T... Lottery should be interesting as well..

Very awesome my man... Disappointed to see Kane lose but you cant have everything... I'm looking forward to the rest of the road to WrestleMania... Batista better be getting a big push cause i think you could do wonders with him... The Booker T gimmick is going to go through the roof, im loving it... Keep it up man...

nicely written shows... The format is superb... Dont think you really need any changes at all... Roster is perfect, except dont push Jericho too much in this fed lol... Cant wait to see more from you...

Keep it up...
