| WWE News For 6/3/03 - Ultimo Dragon, Austin's Eye, JR's New Website, Nash, Benoit, & The Rock | ||||||
| - Ultimo Dragon is due a major television push as soon as he makes his television debut with WWE on SmackDown. To clear up some confusion, Dragon did have some neck problems that forced his retirement, but has recovered enough that he has returned to action recently in Japan. Many feel backstage in WWE that he can help mesh together the SmackDown Cruiserweight division, along with Rey Mysterio. The Cruiserweight division is due a major PPV push in general with the upcoming split-brand PPVs. - Not only did Steve Austin suffer a black eye last week following a car accident, but the co-GM of RAW also suffered a broken nose and several scrapes to his body. Notably, Austin did not drink any beer last week on RAW. He handed several cans to Lillian Garcia, but never actually drank any. He was said to be feeling pretty bad and was in very rough shape.

Many, however, do remain sceptical, as the general consensus within the company is that the pop has nothing to do with the performer and everything to do with the fans believing they have seen a title switch. - Chris Benoit has a pretty bad looking left eye. It has come to light that this happened when Benoit got potatoed by Sean O Haire at a house show this weekend. Expect Benoit to show up this week on SmackDown! sporting a shiner. - Finally, sources have confirmed that the Rock's appearance on RAW tonight is a one-time deal and that rumors of an appearance at Bad Blood are false.
