Barrett in a triple threat match to become the new Intercontinental

> ROB VAN DAM RETURNING AT MONEY IN THE BANK
- During the Payback pay-per-view, WWE ran a video of former WWE and WCW
champion Rob Van Dam and announced that he would be returning next month
at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. The Money In The Bank event will
take place at the former home base of ECW in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania so
it will be the perfect place for RVD to make his WWE return. Who knows,
maybe RVD will be the next Paul Heyman guy? RVD competed in TNA Wrestling
between March 2010 and March 2013 and held the X Division title for 137
days, ultimately losing it to Kenny King during an episode of IMPACT this
past February. Van Dam was at the Hall of Fame ceremony this year, sitting
among the WWE Superstars, Divas, and family members, supporting his friend
Booker T. You can see the video which aired hyping RVD's return at

> WWE PLANTING SEEDS FOR HEYMAN/PUNK BREAKUP
- The Paul Heyman and CM Punk partnership is going down the divorce path
as WWE has started planting seeds into the eventual breakup between the
two. At one point during yesterday's match between Punk and Jericho,
Heyman climbed on the apron and somewhat distracted Punk. After the match,
WWE.COM recorded a video of the two talking in the locker room where Punk
explained to Heyman that he is not his client, but a friend. Punk told
Heyman that Curtis Axel is his client, and Brock Lesnar is his client,
because both need his help. He doesn't need the help and told Heyman to
"just be my friend." A not-so-thrilled Heyman agreed with the former WWE
champion as the video faded to black.
> MARK HENRY TEASES RETIREMENT ANNOUNCEMENT TONIGHT
- Former World Heavyweight champion Mark Henry wrote a Twitter message
yesterday teasing that he would be announcing his retirement from
professional wrestling during tonight's RAW in Grand Rapids, Michigan. "I
have spoke to my famliy and hope to talk to all of you fans live from
Grand Rapids. Guys Father Time is undefeated," Henry said. The world's
strongest man also added that he was always there for the fans whether
they loved or hated him and that he appreciated everything. "Good or bad I
will live forever with the fans," Henry continued. Henry has been injured
for the past few weeks and WWE has pushed his return for tonight's RAW.
Last week Henry wrote on Twitter that he was breaking his Twitter silence
to tell everyone that he's not retiring. Henry has been one of the longest
employed Superstars by WWE, joining the company in 1996 at the age of 24,
signing u huge 10 year deal upon his arrival.
> ZIGGLER "NOT CLEARED" TO WRESTLE AFTER YESTERDAY'S LOSS
- WWE.COM is running a worked story where Dolph Ziggler is not medically
cleared to wrestle for now after yesterday's match against Alberto Del Rio
where he lost the World Heavyweight title. The story claims that Del Rio
delivered a "brutal assault" on Ziggler and the "unrelenting onslaught" by
Del Rio "took its toll" on the now former World Heavyweight champion, who
was wrestling for the first time in over a month following a real
concussion he suffered at the hands of Jack Swagger. It's not the first
time that WWE blurred the lines between real life and storyline events.
The website reported about Ziggler's real concussion last month and now is
using the same sort of wording to continue the angle.
