Batista Return, Awesome Kong-WWE Rumors, McCool

- Michelle McCool was back on the road for WWE live events this past weekend, indicating that The Undertaker is doing well recovering from surgery. As noted before, it's now expected that he will work WrestleMania 27 this year. McCool had been given time off from live events to stay at home and tend to her husband, The Deadman.

- There are rumors that Awesome Kong will make her WWE debut at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, possibly in the Divas Title match with Natalya defending against Layla & Michelle McCool.

- There are still people that believe Batista will want to return to WWE in 2011, noting that he lives an expensive lifestyle and likely can't make near the money WWE was paying him doing other things. WWE obviously isn't banking on a Batista return anytime soon since they brought Mason Ryan to the main roster and didn't change his look.

Currently there are no plans on the WWE side for a Batista return.

Awesome Kong debut at the Royal Rumble... and you say possibly in the Divas match? If Phoenix got into the Rumble itself, I say Kong will make it as well. I think Kong could have potential to crossover and become a US or IC Champion.

I doubt he will be back so soon (if at all), but I would love to see Batista vs. Batista Jr. (Mason Ryan)

I hope Batista returns, I kind of miss the guy. I've been a fan of Batista when I started to watch wrestling consistently, and his heel run was really enjoyable, as well as a pretty solid bout with John Cena at Wrestlemania.

As for Kong, I just hope she stays in the Diva's division...
