Tuesday News + Notes

- AFTER THE BELL: After Raw went off the air, Sheamus hit the ring and put the boots to Cena, followed by Hunter clearing the ring, taking a mic, and setting up a Sheamus-Batista vs. Cena-HHH dark match. Ended with Batista getting the FU/Attutide Adjustment, Sheamus taking a Pedigree, and the crowd went home happy. Post-IMPACT, Jeff Hardy, Abyss, and Hogan soaked up the cheers from the crowd while doing some Hogan pose-downs (which could be seen briefly during the start of the online post-show), while Pope sold the ankle injury and headed out.

- Ric Flair was replaced in WWE's opening montage by the Ultimate Warrior, leading some to believe that Warrior has re-agreed to join the WWE Hall of Fame. Personally, I just think it was another case of "he works for the other company so get him off our montage now," and a way to suck up to said Warrior.

- The Shawn Michaels 3-disc DVD set "My Journey" hit stores today.

- With Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne winning the Knockout Tag Titles on Impact last night for the 3-woman Beautiful People team, word is they'll be allowed to defend the titles under Freebird Rules. The rule is named for the 3-man team of the Fabulous Freebirds, Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, and Buddy Roberts, who broke new ground in the 80's by performing as a "3-man tag team," meaning any 2 of the 3 were allowed to defend the titles at any given time.

- Following last night's show, Shannon Moore, Jeff Hardy, and Rob Van Dam have been added to the TNA Roster page at http://www.tnawrestling.com. In attendance backstage was the recently departed Scott Steiner, though he wasn't used for the show. Also backstage was Al Snow, who was reportedly getting a tryout as an agent.
