PWInsider reports that former TNA Knockout Gail Kim will be returning to WWE once her current deal with TNA expires.

Kim's decision is reported to be strictly financial and sources report that the TNA door will remain open should Kim wish to return later.

Sting did not return to TV tapings after the Hard justice pay-per-view due to ongoing negotiations for a new contract with TNA.

Sting, who turns 50 early next year, was believed to be earning in the $600,000 range this last year for working basically a part-time schedule.



The Wrestling Observer reports that the decision to pull Mick Foley from his involvement in the Undertaker/Edge Hell in the Cell Match at SummerSlam was made by Vince McMahon on the basis that it would distract from new plans for the match.

No news on the exact meaning of that comment as of yet. Foley, who had agreed to sign with TNA in 2005 before the WWE gave hime a new deal, has been reported to be in talks with the Dixie Carter run company.

Speculation continues to grow in the authenticity of Randy Orton's recent morocycle accident. While media outlets in the St. Louis area have been unable to find evidence that suggests the incident occurred, family and friends have come forth in an effort to validate the story that the WWE superstar recounted to WWE.com. At recent WWE TV tapings the accident was being discussed as being real yet a couple of days later many found it strange that nobody could find any sort of doumentation of Orton being in a near fatal motorcycle accident.
