Interesting WrestleMania Injury Stat Posted by Steve Carrier on 01/07/2016 at 02:03 PM
Every WWE talent that left WrestleMania 31 as champion is currently out of action with an injury.
Then-United States Champion John Cena, Divas Champion Nikki Bella, Intercontinental Champion Daniel Bryan, WWE Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Tyson Kidd, and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
Prowrestlingsheet.com reports that James Storm decided to turn down a WWE offer and return to TNA for financial reasons. According to Ryan Satin, WWE and Storm were negotiating for months and WWE's best offer was reportedly under $100,000 a year.
TNA, which was said to be desperate to want him back, offered him a two-year contract closer to the $250,000 range with a portion of merchandise sales.
In addition to that, his deal is said to be for guaranteed money and apparently WWE has left the door open for him to return down the line.
James Storm made his return to TNA Wrestling on tonight's episode of Impact Wrestling. He later announced that Beer Money would be returning at Friday's "One Night Only" pay-per-view event.
As noted, Storm was offered a contract with WWE, but he never got around to signing it.
Curtis Axel declared his entry into the the annual 30-man over-the-top Royal Rumble match, joining The Big Show as the only two WWE Superstars officially entered into the match as of this writing.
Royal Rumble takes place on Sunday, January 24, 2016 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports
that Rey Mysterio's contract with AAA is expiring soon. Mysterio has a
two year deal with Lucha Underground now, which ties him to AAA.
There is a feeling that Rey will continue to work indie dates while
he still works for Lucha Underground. Mysterio is currently scheduled to
face AJ Styles for the first time ever on January 14th in Sheffield, England at the Sheffield Arena.
It appears that Taryn Terrell is no longer
being used by TNA. Terrell raised the speculation initially when she
gave interviews back in November saying that shes found religion and
was conflicted over her faith and her role in wrestling. TNA hasnt had
any shows since then, and since theres been no announcement of her
release her status has remained uncertain.
That might no longer be the case though, as in the graphic posted to
Twitter announcing the Dollhouse vs The Beautiful People match for this
Tuesdays live iMPACT! Wrestling debut on Pop TV, Terrell was replaced
in The Dollhouse by Rebel. At last word Terrell was still under
contract, so they may simply not be using her.
The talk within TNA is that the Miracle teaser videos are for Mike
Bennett. Bennett is coming into TNA with Maria Kanellis after having
finished up with ROH over Final Battle weekend.
Previous reports claim that Bennett is set to get a big push on his
arrival in the company. It is expected that the person behind the
Miracle gimmick will be revealed on Tuesdays live Impact Wrestling
premiere on Pop TV.
UPDATE: TNA President has announced
another new match for iMPACT! Wrestlings debut on POP TV. The Dollhouse
will now face The Beautiful People. The show will also feature the
semifinals and finals of the TNA World Title Series. Also, Bobby Roode
will defend his King of the Mountain title.
The show debuts on January 5 on Pop TV. You can check out Carters announcement tweet below.

IT BEGINS! JEFF JARRETT TAKES A SHOT AT ERIC YOUNG, EY RESPONDS!
Jeff Jarrett took to GFWs YouTube Channel and 104.5 The Zone Radio to speak about his return to IMPACT, Slammiversary and his King of the Mountain Championship Win.

This is quite obviously the beginning of an interesting TNA vs GFW feud over the King of the Mountain Championship.
Dolph Ziggler appeared on today's installment of The Chad Dukes Versus The Worldradio show and revealed that he has not re-signed with WWE. Here's a quote from Ziggler from his appearance:
Im thinking about it right now. I had a request for an upcoming contract that would end a few months from now, maybe two or three months from now, and they requested back what they would like, I countered another offer and were waiting to finalize some things. I love WWE and I cant picture myself wrestling somewhere else but its also becoming now where that Wednesday and Thursday, I cant just do that and get some outside live events for comedy and different movie and television options, which would only be to promote myself as a WWE superstar, to make myself a bigger star so I can advance more in WWE. So if I cant find that happy medium, I might have to go away for a little bit. What I wanna do is make myself a bigger asset to WWE. If it involves leaving, that would crush me but it might.
