— In the new SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game, there is a storyline where Undertaker possesses men’s souls and makes them his minions. The idea was once brought up in a WWE booking meeting, but Vince McMahon quickly shot it down, feeling it was too ridiculous. Only a few characters are involved in the game’s story mode including Triple H, Undertaker, John Cena, CM Punk, Chris Jericho and a tag team of Rey Mysterio & Batista.
— In an interesting pairing, at yesterday’s Raw brand house show in Mannheim, Germany, Randy Orton tag teamed with Cody Rhodes in a match against WWE World Tag Team Champions CM Punk and Kofi Kingston. Punk ended up pinning Rhodes. This past Monday night on Raw, Orton was enraged that Ted DiBiase caused him to lose his match with CM Punk. He punted DiBiase in the head as retaliation before going backstage. Later, Orton explained to Cody Rhodes & Manu that the punt he dealt out to DiBiase was not only revenge for them interrupting his match, but also an attempt to kick some sense into the three competitors.
