During Saturday night's replay of Raw on the Universal HD channel, the graphic promoting the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV was shown once again, but with two WWE Divas removed.
The two Divas removed from the original graphic shown on Monday were Gail Kim and Candice Michelle.
Regarding Gail Kim, she will likely be appearing in the match anyway, however, she has yet to make her official return to the ring. Kim will be making her television return to the company on this week's edition of SmackDown, which was taped this past Tuesday. This definitely looks to be a flub on WWE's part.
As far as Candice Michelle is concerned, it appears as though that she has been pulled from the match altogether, and will be missing WrestleMania for the second year in a row due to injury. Candice has been sitting on the sidelines the past few weeks due to an ankle injury she suffered during a recent training session. Considering her image was removed from the graphic, it looks like her injury has not completely healed and company officials have called off plans on featuring the former Playboy cover girl in the match.
As a result of Candice's apparent removal from the match, this opens up an extra spot for another WWE Diva from the past to appear.[/
The Kentucky Athletic Commission drug tested four random wrestlers at a show in Elizabethtown, KY on Saturday night and former WWE Superstar Mike Mondo of Spirit Squad fame failed the test. Mondo tested positive for marijuana. No word yet on whats happened to Mondo but the Commission usually suspends the talent immediately and requires them to go before the full body. Mondo could be suspended for up to one year and fined up to $500.
Regarding the brand new gear that Samoa Joe was dressed in for Destination X, TNA created it for him. Even though Joe came back heavier than he was when he left, the new costume made him look a whole lot worse. The plan with the new look for Joe was not intended to make him look bad. Instead, the idea was that it would make him look like a bigger star than before.
TNA Knockout Traci Brooks suffered damage to one of her implants this past week while visiting the Troops in the Middle East. Traci was firing a machine gun when the shell kicked back, fell down into her shirt and burned her implant pretty bad.

We posted last week about WWE sending a cease & desist order to wrestling promoter David Herro for a Great Lakes Championship Wrestling show he was promoting featuring Kevin Nash and Scott Hall vs. Kip James and BG James in the main event. The show was held this past Saturday night in Waukesha, WI and drew about 1,500 fans. A fan in attendance noted that Scott Hall was totally out of shape and appeared to be intoxicated. Nash even had to help Hall up the ring steps. The fan noted that while Halls hair is quite gray, he has dyed it a blue/black color that looks more blue than black. Nash worked the match with a hockey elbow pad covering his staph infection that he has been recovering from. Hall could barely work and wore blue jeans and an ICP jersey.
The finish of their match came when Hall went for a tag but Nash jumped off the apron and Kip James hit the Fameasser on Hall for the win. According to the fan, Nash cut a promo on Hall after the match saying he knows how it feels to be left out in the cold but at least give him credit for showing up.
