Rey Mysterio will be in Buffalo for tonight's WWE RAW. Vince McMahon notified his inner circle of this over the weekend. The creative team is actively working on concepts to reintroduce him as a regular starting soon. It remains to be determined if Rey will be on television tonight. He may simply meet with officials and begin plotting his return. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that Mysterio will return to WWE television, although it appears likely. Rey Mysterio was last seen backstage at a recent Lucha Underground TV tapings in Los Angeles where the he visited friends with his son, Dominic, who has also appeared in the past on WWE TV. Rey has made it no secret that he is burned out, like CM Punk, and is looking to take a break from wrestling once his WWE contract expires in the spring. Sources say he is interested in acting in Mexico as well as doing other non-wrestling projects

We first reported last month that Jarrett met with Ring of Honor COO Joe Koff to apparently work out a deal that would allow ROH talents who are scheduled to appear on the show to remain on the card. ROH has a clause in their contracts prohibiting their talent from appearing on pay-per-views for another wrestling promotion. It appears as if that fell through as we have learned that there are some major issues with ROH talent being pulled from the Tokyo dome show.

Really bad news for ROH wrestlers since they lost out on Wrestling Kingdom 9, the pay for that event, and possibly all future NJPW related work because of ROH management.

Used the spoiler tags since it gives away his debut date.

It's still very possible that Orton misses Survivor Series, despite being expected for the Team Cena vs. Team Authority match. Orton was pulled from local advertising for the pay-per-view, which takes place in his hometown of St. Louis. It was said that there's a good chance Orton misses Survivor Series but because The Condemned 2 is a WWE movie, they can always give him a day off to work the pay-per-view.

Originally Posted by F4W As noted, WWE Network delayed their UK launch today just 20 minutes before it was scheduled to go live. The Network UK launch was delayed at the last minute due to the same reason the original October 1st launch didn't happen - because of ongoing negotiations with Sky TV. WWE signed a new five-year TV deal with BSkyB this past January for a major rights fees increase. With the new deal, it was announced that all pay-per-views would air on Sky Sports Box Office. Up until this year, 4 pay-per-views would air on Sky Sports at no extra charge for people who have the channel, while the remaining shows were on Sky Box Office at £14.95 per event.

Some other sheet news include the first episode of Lucha Underground ended up being one of the most watched shows on the El Rey Network and Sky Sports denying rumors they were involved in the WWE Network's delay in the UK
