According to F4Wonline,
There is said to be more than a few people within WWE that are genuinely complaining about The Rock returning and being featured for WrestleMania 28.
The argument is there about The Rock not working with WWE full-time but some feel that you don’t want The Rock around every month because he’s a special attraction.
While there are some people openly complaining about The Rock, it’s said that you mostly hear about the negative feedback from people who are upset at The Rock’s haters.

WWE’s website posted a headline last night that says, “Shaq will not compete at WrestleManina.” The article is accompanied by a photo of Shaquille O’Neal and Big Show going at it in the ring back in 2009.
Shaq did an interview with HollywoodLife.com last week where he said he would be in attendance for WrestleMania 28 in Miami. Shaq did not say he would compete. WWE mentioned Shaq’s HollywoodLife.com interview but got the facts wrong. Shaq never said he would be competing. WWE wrote the following:
“Despite Shaquille O’Neal’s claim that he will compete at WrestleMania XXVIII in Miami, WWE officials have informed WWE.com that the 15-time NBA All-Star is not scheduled to appear on the card.”

Recently WWE champion C.M. Punk and R&B superstar Chris Brown have gotten into a Twitter war. The war of words began when C.M. Punk stated that he would love to have a WrestleMania moment involving himself “curb stomping [Chris Brown].”
This lead to Chris Brown making accusations of steroid use and telling Punk to get more followers. Due to the internet altercation, Punk released a TwidVid to clear up the entire ordeal. Below is the entire transcript of the aforementioned video:
“I never intended to include Chris Brown’s name in one of my Tweets to start some sort of controversy or to create publicity or anything like that. Now that he’s thrown accusations my way about using steroids, I feel the need to reply. So, allow me to retort.
“I’m a life-long, proud, drug-free, straight-edge individual. So, Chris and I come from two completely different worlds. I don’t have a manager. I don’t have a bodyguard. I don’t need a bodyguard. I don’t have an assistant. I have no need for a PR team to tell me what to Tweet or when to delete Tweets. And I don’t hit women. Period.
“See, in my world, women are to be revered and respected. I firmly believe that in this life, there are consequences and repercussions for your actions and I don’t think Chris has paid for what he’s done. Picking up trash along the highway does not make amends for repeatedly striking a woman in the face and sending her to the hospital.
“So, Chris wants to throw stones my way now and I say that’s fine. But, put some gloves on and get in the ring. I will choke you out. I will make you feel as weak and as powerless and as scared as any woman who has had the misfortune of knowing a sad, cowardly, little boy such as yourself. All proceeds can go to a woman’s shelter of my choosing. If you want to pick up more trash on the side of a highway to make amends — you should donate more time. Maybe tell kids exactly what you did isn’t right.
“But I’m also a realist and I know that none of these things will happen because Chris Brown isn’t a man. That’s fine. I just know that some day, somewhere, somehow, somebody will put Chris Brown exactly where it belongs. It honestly doesn’t have to be me. I would just really like it to be.”

David Otunga’s fiancee Jennifer Hudson was backstage at last night’s WWE SmackDown tapings in Rockford, Illinois.
There was talk among the wrestlers that she may sing the National Anthem at WrestleMania 28 this year. That talk seems to be merited as multiple backstage sources confirm that Hudson is the number one name on the list to sing the “Star-Spangled Banner”.

“Don’t shed any crocodile tears for me… I could still give every single one of you a good slapping even with only one arm. The biggest downer is that I was scheduled to face Papa Shango this year at ‘Mania. That’s up in the air now. #Hexed”

Fans of Friday Night SmackDown were in for a treat, as the company decided to air a very special live episode of the Blue Brand tonight on the SyFy network. It seems as if it’ll be a battle of the General Managers for full control of the brands, as the Main Event completely stole the show.

Daniel Bryan and A.J. start the show, Bryan begins his ‘I am a role model’ heel speech. Vows to ruin Sheamus WrestleMania moment before being interrupted by The Miz, who mentored the young lion during NXT.
Miz gave himself all the credit for Bryan’s success even suggesting a future tag team between the two men. Fans know this is a farce as the Awesome One is only trying to ride on the rising coat tales of the rising D-Bry. Before anything else could happen, Sheamus came out and interrupts both men to start building up his feud with Bryan for WrestleMania.
Miz confronts Sheamus saying that he needs to be taken down a notch or two, saying that ‘Great White’ has some nerve to interrupt himself and the World Heavyweight Champion. Things get physcial between Sheamus and The Miz, and thankfully Teddy Long books a bout between the two stars, which happens immediately after the break.
Sheamus def. The Miz: No real surprise here as Great White had been on a roll as of late, and is only is 41 days away from his WrestleMania bout with Daniel Bryan for the strap. Meanwhile, The Miz has been stuck in jobberville, which is a shame since the Awesome One is a good promo guy as well as a wrestler.
Aksana and Teddy Long are in the back before John Laurinaitis and David Otunga interrupts the duo. Johnny Ace is still looking over to take over both Raw and SmackDown. Long sticks up for himself saying the only place Laurinaitis belongs is the men’s room. The feud between these two is an interesting one, as Long is a way more interesting and interactive GM vs. the bland Laurinaitis.
Stay tuned for Monday as The Rock will return to the WWE, will answer the very emotional speech that John Cena gave on the Flagship Brand yesterday.
Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger def. Kofi Kingston/R-Truth: Ziggler poked Kofi in the eyes before hitting the Zig-Zag for the victory. A catchy name for Ziggler/Swagger is needed, as these two young lions continue to impress on both Raw and SmackDown. Meanwhile what is the WWE thinking of teaming Kofi with R-Truth, not that it is a bad thing…..but it does not help Kofi in his singles career having a tag team partner right now.
Kofi was saying how now is the time for him to shine, and instead he is relegated to tag team duty again, seems like a waste of time and talent to this fan. Of course the use of both Ziggler and Swagger hasn’t been that great either, as the WWE creative hasn’t found anything in terms of a feud to help propel either star.
Congrats to Ron Simmons, who is the latest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. Santino Marella is in the back practicing his ‘Cobra’ strike on plastic cups, when Heath Slater interrupts. A bit of a lighthearted moment from the company before going into the C.M. Punk/Chris Brown twitter war.
Drew McIntyre continues his jobbing ways in a quick bout with The Great Khali. This fan is wondering why the company is going to keep using McIntyre if he is going to continue to job to different wrestlers every week, you know that this fall from grace will eventually have a redeeming moment eventually-right-right-stay tuned.
Mark Henry vs. The Big Show: Before the bout could continue Cody Rhodes interrupts the two rivals. The WWE really cannot be trying to sell us a Rhodes/Show rivalry. This does nothing to help the career of Rhodes, who should be facing someone like Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship.
With the lack of star power there is no one on the Blue Brand to help Cody elevate his career further so, stay tuned for this one. Show KO’s Henry to continue to try to chase down the sly Cody Rhodes.
Raw Recap: as The Undertaker/Triple H bout is set for WrestleMania, the two icons are slated to meet in Hell in a Cell bout in the Granddaddy of them all. This fan is confused, as you know it won’t be the end of either man’s career, and you know the streak won’t end here, with the biggest two WrestleMania’s right around the corner. Stay tuned!
David Otunga def. Ezekiel Jackson: Video promo makes this fan believe that this rivalry between the two powerhouses will be tied after tonight. In spite of that video promo the A-List picks-up his second straight victory over Zeke, this fan wishes these two would have an interesting feud, as fans would probably buy into these two athletes going at it.
Recap of how Eve was using Zack Ryder to propel herself to climb the ladder in the WWE. Video recap of her interacting with John Cena from Raw last night. The company promises to have an interview with the Diva to continue the storyline, and her heel turn.
Backstage interview with C.M. Punk before he faces Daniel Bryan in the Main Event. Punk calls out Bryan for using the Straight Edge society/vegetarian gimmick-thank you Punk for saying that, as this fan has been thinking that for weeks now.
C.M. Punk vs. Daniel Bryan: Very competitive bout between the two men, great story before Bryan tries to run away from his equal in Punk. Sheamus comes out and just throws Daniel into the GTS by C.M. Punk, just as the WWE Champ is celebrating John Laurinaitis comes out to continue the bout between the two champions.
Bryan rolls-up Punk for the victory using the ropes, but before Daniel can celebrate Teddy Long comes out to continue the bout. Main Event has been the highlight of SmackDown thus far.
It seemed as if both men’s shoulders were on the mat, and both stars were celebrating the win. Johnny Ace put all his cards behind D-Bry, while Teddy supports C.M. Punk. Before SmackDown ended Long and Laurinaitis go at it, seems as if there is going to be a war between the two General Managers for full control of the WWE TV shows.
A great twitter recommendation was to have a best two-out-of-three falls bout between these two. First fall is via the pin, second via submission and if it goes to a third make that via an escape only steel cage stipulation-this fan would buy that in an instant if it helps propel Long as the eventual General Manager of both Raw and SmackDown.
Hope to see fans on Monday, as it’ll be an electrifying Raw, as The Rock will return to the Flagship Brand. What will ‘The Great One’ say in response to John Cena’s pipe bomb attempt, and what steps will the company do next to help build up WrestleMania? Thanks to everyone for checking in and as always stay tuned!

Chris Brown just tweeted the following regarding CM Punk’s video:
@ChrisBrown: “@cmpunk the video u just posted was cute! It’s so funny how defensive u are. And the fact that I really don’t know who you are and could give a shit is the funny part! I really hope this 15 minutes of fame is paying you for the long run becuz music last forever! Wrestlers come and go according to ratings!”
It certainly appears that the singer is now backing down from the WWE Champion. Personally I love that CM Punk responds to Chris Brown’s accusations and challenges the singer to put his money where his mouth is.
