There is said to be a “major twist” planned for the 30-man Royal Rumble match this year. The twist is said to have something to do with this year’s unique stipulation, where “every superstar is eligible” for the match.
A example of the type of “twist” could take place – the 1994 Royal Rumble finish is a good example, where Bret Hart and Lex Luger were both eliminated at the same time and declared co-winners.

- Mark Henry suffered what is believed to have been a hyperextended knee at this past Tuesday's Smackdown taping in Tucson, Arizona. The injury, which will air on Smackdown tonight, occurred when Henry was throwing a punch and his knee moved forward before he had completely planted his foot during a move. Henry, who has been working through a groin issue, has had knee problems in the past.

David Otunga took a break from his full time wrestling gig to return to his previous career -- attorney-at-law -- and much like his "Monday Night Raw" matches ... crushed the competition.
TMZ found out Otunga returned to court Thursday morning to represent a man who believes he was wrongfully terminated and denied unemployment benefits. Otunga tells us he was repping the man in his appeal to the NY State Department of Labor.
The proceedings took place before an administrative judge who heard witness testimony and arguments from both sides.
Otunga -- who graduated from Harvard Law School before wrestling -- told us he "smoked the witness during cross examination." The judge agreed ... Otunga's client won the appeal and will now get unemployment benefits.
Otunga says he enjoys keeping his legal skills sharp, and adds ... "If the outcome of the case is any indication of how I'll do in the Royal Rumble this weekend, then it looks like I'll be the winner."
By the way, Otunga didn't do it for the cash -- he took the case, pro bono

You forgot the funniest part of the article: "By the way he's engaged to Jennifer Hudson."
Which is what Otunga has on his legal stationary.

This is for any of the Brits here.
Anyone who has got a Poundland near them should pop in because they've got a bunch of WWE DVDs on the go. They've all got about 5 or 6 matches on them each, and some pretty good ones as well. The year range on them is 2002-2006. I saw 'Best Of':-
* Raw * Smackdown * Undertaker vs. Batista * Edge vs. John Cena * Individual Cena, Edge, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero DVDs.

I was going to post something about this after RAW but forgot.
If the Rumble is last i think we could see either the WWE or World champ enter (or both).
