The group's reformation could take place in WWE and if Nash has his wish fulfilled, with CM Punk as their leader. Nash tweeted to a fan that he wants the WWE Champion as group captain with the "NWO army to protect the gold."
"Rock will never walk out of the Rumble with the belt. We got Phil's back," he adds.
Meanwhile, TNA Wrestling executive Eric Bischoff re-tweeted Nash's announcement reading "A lot of you wanted an NWO reunion, there will be one. As you know we only come in take over mode. Stay tuned!!!"

Update on Velvet Sky Possibly Leaving TNA Posted by Steve Carrier on 07/24/2012 at 01:49 PM
Velvet Sky could be leaving Total Nonstop Action Wrestling just as her former "Beautiful People" mate Angelina Love did. ProWrestling.net has confirmed PWInsider.com's report that the popular grappler is on the verge of parting ways with company due to a contract dispute.
Bruce Prichard, who serves as Talent Relations for the organization, has reportedly asked numerous wrestlers to restructure their contracts. A company source says some talent who have time remaining on their deals are among those being asked to restructure, even if they're due for raises. Many of those individuals believe they are being presented with "take it or leave it" type offers. Sky is not believed to be among those asked to restructure their contract, but rather, her contract is expiring. She has told colleagues that she is not happy with how the negotiations are going.
Sky, who has been with TNA since the inception of the Knockouts division in October 2007, last appeared at a BaseBrawl event in Memphis, Tennessee on July 14. She is presently booked for a Legends of the Ring convention in Monroe, New Jersey the same weekend that TNA holds its annual Bound for Glory festivities. Sky often responds to online rumors via Twitter, but has yet to address the matter.
Velvet Sky has either finished or will be finishing up with TNA
Wrestling shortly, according to numerous sources with the organization. One source noted Monday night that she is "as gone as can be
without having pen to paper."
Her status with the organization has been
tenuous for several weeks, although she's been in negotiations for a new
contract. However, many believe she is on her way out of the company.

Sky is one of the most popular females in
TNA and has been with the company since the advent of the Knockouts division in
October 2007. A former Knockouts and Knockouts Tag Team
Champion, she was recent cast in
a Montgomery Gentry music video through the company.
Her former
"Beautiful People" mate, Angelina Love, also recently left the promotion.
- Sources within TNA Wrestling have confirmed that Bully Ray and Devon's respective contracts with the organization will expire in four to five weeks. Both wrestlers have been negotiating new contracts with management but no movement has been made towards agreements being reached.
Bully Ray underwent an incredible career resurgence after retooling his character following the split of Team 3D in late 2010. Likewise, Devon underwent a career rebirth following the split and now reigns as Television Champion. Both assist young talent, with Bully Ray working behind the scenes as an agent and Devon wrestling them at both television and house show events.
- Samoa Joe and Magnus are the new GHC Tag Team Champions for
Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah. They captured the belts Sunday in Tokyo
from Akitoshi Saito and Jun Akiyama, ending their seventh-month reign.
Magnus wrote on Twitter, "New GHC/ Pro-Wrestling NOAH World Tag Team
Champions @SamoaJoe and yours truly. Ryogoku Sumo Hall Tokyo, it was an honor!"
Christopher Daniels also competed at the event, NOAH Great Voyage,
losing to GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
Steve Austin statement about why he missed RAW Posted by Roscoe De Soto on 07/24/2012 at 01:03 PM
The following is from brokenskullranch.com:
On July 23, 2012 WWE celebrated the 1,oooth episode of Monday Night Raw. I watched the show from my home in Los Angeles. After watching the show, I got on my Twitter account, @steveaustinBSR, to read responses to the show. There were many people blaming Vince McMahon and the WWE for not having SCSA on the show. And there were some folks who had some very negative things to say about me, personally.
The reason I did not attend RAW 1,000 was because I underwent a major knee surgery on my left knee on July 2, 2012. Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, CA performed the surgery.
The surgery was a complete success. I am currently three weeks post op. I began physical therapy a few days ago. I had a world class surgeon and a great medical team working on me. I am now working with a top notch PT team. I am still on crutches and will probably lose the crutches in another week. Then I will be in a custom knee brace much like the braces I wore in the ring for 9-12 weeks.
STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN IS A 100% ASS KICKING MACHINE. There was no way I was going to limp down the ramp on crutches for RAW 1,000. It was time to get my knee fixed. The decision to no-show RAW 1,000 was made by me and no one else. I have always taken pride in making my shots and have never faked an injury or illness. Pro Wrestling is a tough game and it was time to pay the piper for some of the damage I incurred in the ring. No gripes. No complaints.
To the fans that were hoping to see SCSA, Im sorry I missed the show. I would have loved to be there under different circumstances. I normally keep my personal business to myself, but due to feedback and incorrect speculation, I have posted this blog and given the 411 on why I was not at RAW 1,000.
I will post more blogs about my PT and recovery soon.
- On Backstage Fallout, John Cena was asked about unsuccessfully cashing in the Money in the Bank
briefcase on Raw against CM Punk. He responded, "My mistake."
Cena
continues, "We all know I've had issues with CM Punk in the past, but it's been
(pause), the word respect comes up. If you're the champ, nobody has any loyalty
to anything. The word respect comes to mind, even when we're at each other's
throats. It just respect. I go back to Money in the Bank when Vince went to
throw it out and I told him no, and I lost. My watch,
my terms, and I respect that."
The Miz, Heath Slater and Daniel Bryan
also react to Raw events.
