Leaving?

The "Loser Leaves WWE" match this Sunday at Extreme Rules may wind up having a winner that surprises you.

PWInsider is reporting that WWE Diva and first Divas Champion Michelle McCool is set to leave the company, her last match being this Sunday against her former LayCool teammate Layla.

The reasons for Michelle's departure are unknown at this time, but speculation is that she may want to spend more time with her husband, WWE Superstar The Undertaker. There is also talk that she may want to start her own family with the Deadman, and this could be why she is leaving.

Either way, I'm devastated that I won't get to see a Kharma Implant Buster with her name on it.

Leaving?

Various wrestling websites are reporting that former WWE World Champion CM Punk's contract is set to expire this year...and there is a great shot that he may not be re-signing with the company.

Reports are varying for the reason, stemming from frustrations over a lack of push, to just the clear case of burnout. The reports are stating that it's because of the uncertainty of Punk's contract negotiations that he's been used less than usual.

If Punk is indeed leaving because he is burned out, then I say go for it. Where is he going to go, TNA? If he needs some time to himself to relax after working the hectic WWE schedule for five years with no breaks, then I say let him.

Leaving?

EWrestlingNews.Com is reporting that WWE Diva and former TNA Knockout Gail Kim is contemplating leaving the company when her contract goes up this coming November.

Gail joined WWE the first time in 2003, leaving in 2004 before pioneering the TNA Knockouts division. She returned to WWE, signing a three year contract in 2008.

Former WWE Diva and WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Lynn Sytch (pka Sunny) is claiming that Gail is set to get married this year, something that Gail has neither confirmed nor denied.

Hogan Comments on Hardy Drama

2005 WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan responded to a fan on Twitter who suggested that TNA may get rid of Jeff Hardy in light of what happened last night. It is important to note that this is not the first time that Hardy's "mental conditioning" has come into play and created concern in the TNA locker room. You can follow the Hulkster on Twitter at HulkHogan4Real.

Hogan responded to to the fan's question by stating,

"Brother, we're trying to get everything sorted out.

I feel bad about some of the situations that have to be

(dealt) with."

While I'm surprised to see Hogan outright address the problem, I also understand that TNA is on heavy-duty damage control right now over the 90 second main event pay-per-view match pertaining to Hardy and Sting last night. Dixie and Bischoff have found themselves flooded with negative feedback as a result, with many fans demanding a refund.

Is Kofi Kingston On The Bubble?

Take this for what you will, this could just be the work of some concerned wrestling fans, and even some pot-stirring "news sites".

Fans are speculating right now that current WWE Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston could be seeing his "future endeavor" papers sometime after WrestleMania XXVII, where it is being speculated that some roster cuts will be underway.

What evidence is being given that Kofi Kingston may indeed be leaving WWE not of his own accord is that he has been on something of a losing streak lately, even though he currently holds the second most important championship, just under the WWE Championship. Kofi had a great program against Randy Orton a while ago. There was a mistake in the ring during a triple threat match, and ever since then, it seems like Kofi's star has fallen quite a bit. It surprised the fans; after all, many thought that he was on his way to the main event picture. Some fans pointed their accusatory fingers at Randy Orton, though I have my doubts about that.

As well, fans are noticing that WWE Shop's website has marked down all of Kofi Kingston's merchandise, with no new merchandise seemingly on the horizon.

This could just be the work of some paranoid fans. If it's true, though, it would be a horrible shame, and more than likely a great grab for TNA. Anyways, there's a good list of people who should go before Kofi, but sometimes, we don't get to choose who Vince wants to keep.
