Mr. Kennedy revealed in a recent interview with the Miami Herald that his shoulder is not healing and it could become a permanent injury he has to deal with for the remainder of his wrestling career.
"I'm going to find out from Dr. Andrews if that's going to be a permanent thing, and I'll have to deal with it, or if there's something more that we can do, said Kennedy. ''I don't want to do that. I'd rather be 100 percent, but you got to do what you got to do in this business because the bottom line is this business is going to keep rolling with or without me. I'd rather be a part of it and contribute. I think I have a lot to contribute because there are a lot of things that I have yet to accomplish that nobody really has seen out of me. I just want to get back in there and get after it -- win some championships, main event at WrestleMania. I say it year after year after year. If it takes me 10 years to do it, I'm going to do it."

HOUSTON It was just one day after the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, and only a week before everything changes in the 2009 WWE Draft (PREVIEW), but the Superstars of WWE were already looking toward Backlash on Monday Night Raw. As the show received its new permanent General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, two matches were set for the upcoming pay-per-view. More shocking however, was the return of Batista, who after rushing to the aide of Mr. McMahon, WWE Champion Triple H & Shane McMahon, was awarded the WWE Chairmans spot in their Six-Man Tag Team Match against Randy Orton & The Legacy.
Randy Orton began to brutalize Mr. McMahon but was interrupted by WWE Champion Triple H, Shane McMahon and the returning Batista, who will take Mr. McMahons place at Backlash (PHOTOS | WATCH) In the nights main event, Randy Orton attempted to prove his point about Mr. McMahons in-ring abilities. In the midst of putting a hurting on the WWE Chairman, he was interrupted by McMahons son, Shane, who attacked The Legend Killer. But Orton had help of his own waiting in the wings in the form of Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, who rushed to their leaders aid, teaming up on Shane OMac. WWE Champion Triple H then emerged, but he too fell victim to the combined might of The Legacy.
As Orton and his cohorts pummeled The Game, they were shocked to find out there was more opposition that they hadnt counted on: The returning Batista. The Animal stormed down the entrance ramp, evening the odds by chasing Orton & DiBiase from the ring and laying out Rhodes with a Batista Bomb. As the WWE Chairman recovered, he announced that Batista would be taking his place in the Six-Man Tag Team Match at Backlash. (PREVIEW)
Miss WrestleMania Santina Marella def. Beth Phoenix (PHOTOS | WATCH) Raw was graced with an appearance of the newly honored Miss WrestleMania, Santino Marellas twin sister, "Santina." In the midst of thanking the WWE Universe, she was interrupted by Beth Phoenix. The Glamazon was furious about Santina dumping her out of the 25-Diva Battle Royal and challenged her to a match. Santina went on to prove why she holds the title of Miss WrestleMania by pinning Beth for the win.
Vickie Guerrero announced that she is the new permanent General Manager of Raw and that John Cena will defend the World Heavyweight Title against Edge in a Last Man Standing Match at Backlash (WATCH) Though she has been acting as both SmackDown General Manager and interim General Manager of Raw in recent weeks, Vickie Guerrero announced that WWEs Board of Directors had told her that she would have to choose one show to run. Promising to bring her own unique vision to the program, Guerrero revealed that she would be staying on Raw.
As her first act as the shows permanent General Manager, she placed World Heavyweight Champion John Cena into a Last Man Standing Match against her husband Edge at Backlash with the title on the line (PREVIEW). The Raw GM also added a stipulation to the Six-Man Tag Team Match announced earlier in the night, placing the WWE Championship on the line. She clarified that if anyone on Triple Hs team wins, he will retain the title, but if Orton or The Legacy taste victory, then the WWE Title will go to The Legend Killer.
World Heavyweight Champion John Cena, Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, & Ricky Steamboat def. Edge, Big Show, Chris Jericho, Matt Hardy & Kane (PHOTOS | WATCH) Many of the Superstars who just competed on The Grandest Stage of Them All took part in a WrestleMania All-Star Tag Team Match on Raw that featured new World Heavyweight Champion John Cena, new Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio and new Mr. Money in the Bank CM Punk on the same powerful team.

The Miz & John Morrison in a Lumberjack Match (PHOTOS) At the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania brothers Carlito & Primo made history by unifying the WWE and World Tag Team Titles with their defeat of The Miz & John Morrison in a Lumberjack Match. On Raw the following night, the Dirt Sheet duo had a chance to regain Tag Team gold in another Lumberjack Match against the brothers from Puerto Rico. Unfortunately for the self-proclaimed chick magnet & The Shaman of Sexy, they must return to ECW empty-handed after another defeat at the hands of the WWE Unified Tag Team Champions.
Mr. McMahon set a Six-Man Tag Team Match for Backlash and pitted himself against Randy Orton for Raws main event (PHOTOS | WATCH) Randy Orton opened Raw, bitter over his loss to WWE Champion Triple H the night before at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. Before he could get further into his threats against The Game and the entire McMahon family however, he was interrupted by the WWE Chairman himself. Mr. McMahon told the venomous Superstar that he wouldnt be getting a rematch, but that he would get to face Triple H again at Backlash, only in a Six-Man Tag Team Match, featuring Triple H, Mr. McMahon & Shane McMahon vs. Randy Orton & The Legacy. The insolent Superstar then began to insult his employer for both hiding behind his family and being too old to compete on his own. Not one to stand down from a challenge, Mr. McMahon placed himself into the nights main event against Orton.
The Undertaker was said to have kept to himself over WrestleMania weekend. Several sources are saying he stayed in his hotel room and iced his knees over and over. He's in rough shape these days but keeps on ticking. He'll be taking time off over the next year as will Shawn Michaels.
- The general feeling backstage last night at WrestleMania was that everyone knew Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker stole the show. There was a lot of talk about how great Ricky Steamboat looked for his age
Update on Smackdowns announce team - As of before Wrestlemania, there had been no decision made on Tazzs replacement for the Smackdown announce team. One of the options is to pair Jerry Lawler or Matt Striker with Ross until a long-term plan is created. JBL is also another candidate if WWE decides to end his character as rumored. We should find something out his Tuesday night at the tapings.
Dolph Ziggler suffered an apparent injury during his match this afternoon against Sim Snuka (making his first WWE appearance since the January 12, 2009 episode of Raw) at the WrestleMania Axxess event.

- In recent weeks, SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero has been getting a crash course in wrestling so she can eventually compete in the ring.
- In an update on Candice Michelle, she was telling those who asked at the WrestleMania Axxess session on the Friday that she would not be working the Miss WrestleMania 25 Diva Battle Royal due to her injured ankle. She was seen in a boot at the event and didn't stand up much to pose with fans.
A fan sent in the following Wrestlemania weekend report to PWTorch.com:
-Triple H is a prick, as always. He always appears to be sneering down towards the fans. He will never stop for pictures or autographs. He and Steph were at a Starbucks counter ordering a coffee and just standing there. My friend walked up to him by himself and asked for a picture and H said that he was too busy, even though it would have taken about two seconds and he was waiting there anyway. He always appears to be miserable and generally irritated by the fans. Although The Game is not the most fan-friendly star, in many ways I dont blame him. Many of these fans are just bizarre and live down to the stereotype of socially deviant weirdo wrestling fan. Just bizarre.
Shawn Michaels appeared on radio station Q101 in Chicago yesterday and said he thinks WrestleMania 26 next year will be his last WrestleMania match.
HBK went on to mention how his WWE contract expires immediately after WrestleMania next year and that he wants to be around more for his children and family.
Michaels concluded by saying he feels he'll return to wrestling again at some point, possibly when his kids are teenagers and don't want to be around him all the time as much anymore.
Reports have surface that during a conversation with Harley Race at a restaurant, Ric Flair said he rejected Vince McMahons offer of $250,000 to be the General Manager of Smackdown because he felt he could make more on the indy scene.
