Heat Between Randy Orton And The Miz This Past Monday
In a shades similar to past incidents with Kofi Kingston and Ken Anderson, Randy Orton was legitimately rattled by The Miz during their match at Monday’s RAW taping in San Antonio.
Though details are presently scarce, the Money in the Bank briefcase bearer reportedly messed up the timing of the match, thus causing “The Viper” to angrily react. The bout culminated with an RKO, allowing Orton to pick up the win. Orton was said to be very upset when he arrived to the backstage area.
Similarly, Orton angrily reacted during a bout with Kingston last January when the Ghanaian grappler messed up the timing of the finish. Orton was seen on-camera shouting “stupid,” among other obscenities, towards him. It is said that Kingston’s “main event” push at the time was single handedly derailed due to the incident. Likewise, Anderson’s untimely dismissal from World Wrestling Entertainment last year was largely attributed to Orton, as a result of the former Mr. Kennedy inadvertently dropping “The Viper” on his head with a back suplex. Orton later admitted to complaining to management about Anderson’s in-ring work, which was the primary reason for his release from the organization.
Orton’s bout with The Miz airs this Monday night on RAW.

**SPOILERS** - Melina & WWE Creative Plans Inside
Melina made her return to WWE programming during Monday's television taping in San Antonio, Texas. She performed a run-in following a Six-Diva Tag Match pitting Alicia Fox, Jillian and Tamina against Eve, Gail Kim and Natalya, attacking the Divas Champion. Her return will be televised during next Monday's episode of RAW.
It was her first appearance inside a WWE ring since she underwent surgery for a torn ACL suffered last December. She spent the past few weeks at the company's developmental facility in Tampa, Florida training for her return.
WWE creative brass initially planned on inserting Melina into the ongoing John Morrison vs. Ted DiBiase program as means to feature mixed tag matches, but said plans were nixed last week. Instead, she will going after Fox's Divas Championship. A three-way feud between Melina, Fox and Eve is tentatively planned, though Maryse may be put in the mix.
Meanwhile, Maryse and DiBiase's "power couple" placement is an offshoot of plans initially tapped for the French beauty and The Miz last year. Plans were changed when Maryse took a hiatus to recover from knee surgery and Miz got over well enough with the audience that she was no longer needed by his side. Maryse was ultimately placed with DiBiase in an effort to get him over.

Major ECW Reunion Bash After iMPACT
-- The following is a report of what happened when the Impact tapings concluded last night. Thanks to Michael Spears for this recap: I was able to make yesterday's Impact tapings and have a few more notes on the Beer Bash in the ring at the Impact Zone following the Rob Van Dam & Tommy Dreamer vs. Abyss & Raven match. Those who took part were Tommy Dreamer, Rob Van Dam, Stevie Richards, Rhino, the Sandman, Brother Ray, Brother D'Von, Jerry Lynn, Mick Foley, Al Snow, Pat Kenney, and Hulk Hogan. The Sesame Street song "One of these things is not like the other" came into mind! They played Metallica's version of Enter Sandman, which seemed to surprise some of the ECW alums in the ring. Brother Ray and Brother D'Von led the crowd in singing Enter Sandman. So Cal Val was called into the ring where Dreamer did his "pour beer on the hot chick's chest and drink it off" spot with her. One of the empty beer cans Sandman threw into the crowd landed in the hands of a young kid which popped Sandman and Brother Ray.
John Cena Takes Shot At NXT Star, NXT Elimination, More
-- Today on Twitter, John Cena expressed his disappointment in Percy Watson, saying the NXT Rookie has "gone downhill" in recent weeks. Here is what he said after viewing last night's episode: "CeNation. Alex riley, and husky both strong showings last night. Give credit to miz, he's a damn good coach. If percy watson makes another one of those faces where I'm supposed to think he's mad but it looks like he just crapped himself...ill eliminate him. He has gone downhill.. Every single week. Dissapointing. He is really one hell of an athlete. I think he may be suffering from yep yep syndrome. Looking for something special when all he needs is what he's got. (This fortune cookie moment brght 2 u by, schwin penny farlings)."
-- The results of the NXT Poll were revealed on last night's episode, and after the votes of the WWE Universe and the WWE Pros were combined, Eli Cottonwood was eliminated. Meanwhile, the immune Michael McGillicutty, who still boasts a perfect record, ousted Kaval for the No. 1 spot. The results of the NXT Poll were as follows:
1. Michael McGillicutty
2. Kaval
3. Alex Riley
4. Percy Watson
5. Lucky Cannon
6. Husky Harris
7. Eli Cottonwood
After his elimination, an emotionally-charged Cottonwood attacked the other NXT Rookies.

Update On Chris Jericho's WWE Contract Expiring This Year
Rich Ward, the guitarist in Chris Jericho's metal band Fozzy, was a guest on the Monday Night Mayhem radio show this week and spoke about Jericho's future after his WWE contract expires later this year. There's been speculation that Jericho is looking to move on from WWE and focus on his entertainment career (music & acting). Here's the recap:
Monday Night Mayhem with Rich Ward
Hosts: The Big Mosh, Jimmy Noonan, and "The Chairman of the Board," Todd Vincent
Airs every Monday at 6:00 P.M. (CT)
Show available at MondayNightMayhem.com.
The Band Working Around Chris Jericho's WWE Schedule:
"In the early days it was more difficult, because we didn't have chemistry worked out because Chris was so busy, not just with working in the WWE, but the travel days also, whenever there was a day off here and a day off there. Basically what we had to do was be super organized in how we structured things, and till the last couple of years, it started to fall into place to where when Chris is just sitting in a hotel room or something, he's writing lyrics. I then take his lyrics and start building songs around it, and then I would send him the demos with me singing his lyrics, and then we start work back and forth through MP3's. If it wasn't for the modern age of the Internet, I don't Fozzy could exist."
Whether Chris Jericho Will Leave WWE When His Contract Expires This Year:
"He has told me that he has no plans on retiring, so as far as Chris stepping away from the ring, I have no idea if he has any plans to do that beyond the contract. I know from talking to him, and Chris's business is his business, and never would I try to step and make announcements for him, but I think he told me that he's contract negotiations with the WWE. With that in mind, I have no indications that he's gonna take time off. I know he got two weeks off to do the UK run, and I know anytime we could get 'Uncle Vinnie' to give us a couple of weeks to go and play some rock shows in the UK, I feel like I owe him a steak dinner."
Fozzy's Potential:
"To answer that honestly, I don't even think about tomorrow. I'm so focused in the now and what I'm doing instead of looking down the road. I feel like that has worked for me, and maybe other people it helps to plans things, but I find for my music career (in general) if I'm touring with Stuck Mojo, I focus 1,000 percent on that. If I'm with Chris, and we're on tour with Fozzy, I don't think about Stuck Mojo, and I don't think about what I'm gonna have for dinner. I think Fozzy could go on until no one wants to hear another one of our songs, and we will continue to play to out four or five fan club members. We will just continue to rock on at a very high level of proficiency."
