- Vince McMahon recently posted the following tweet regarding Sting and the new WWE 2K15 video game:



- Speaking of WWE 2K15, it has been confirmed that both Xavier Woods and Rob Van Dam will be part of the video game roster.

Word going around is that Vince McMahon has ordered major cutbacks across the board in WWE, far beyond the cuts that have taken place so far.

The dollar figure floating around that McMahon would like to slice off of the current budget is said to be into the eight figures, meaning tens-of-millions of dollars.

The motivation for the cuts is to offset the losses involved in starting up the WWE Network, as well as offsetting the amount involved in the new television deal, as the company had promised a significantly larger number prior to finalizing their current deal.

Former "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was interviewed by Chris Jericho on this week's Talk Is Jericho podcast and says she's dying to get back with WWE.

Snooki, who hosted WWE RAW back in 2011 and wrestled at WrestleMania 27, says she's literally "begging" WWE CEO Vince McMahon to let her get back in the ring:

"I’m actually begging [Vince McMahon] to go back because I want to wrestle more."

Snooki has slimmed down since her days on Jersey Shore and is currently pregnant:

"Just having more muscle and being more flexible, I feel like can do more moves in the ring. It was such a fun experience that I would definitely go back for more."

Former WWE and TNA Superstar Elijah Burke aka “The Pope” D’Angelo Dinero recently took some time to participate in an exclusive interview with WWEcom. Burke talks about what he’s been up to recently, his time in WWE, Vince McMahon, The Undertaker, TNA, what’s next for him and more. The interview is available at PWmania.com

- WWE is holding a tryout camp for potential future Divas at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida this week. The word going around is that most of the women trying out are models that have been specifically recruited, and are not experienced female wrestlers.

- WWE recently pinned an article regarding Superstars who quit to the official Facebook page of CM Punk. In the latest subtle social media jab, WWE has used Punk's Facebook page to promote an article regarding Superstars who "sold out." The title of the post reads, "SUPERSTARS WHO SOLD OUT and broke our hearts in the process!!!!"

There continues to be a lot of talk regarding plans for a physical WWE Hall Of Fame and wrestling museum. WWE has reportedly contacted several historians and have made solid financial offers for various memorabilia.

It's being said that while Vince McMahon has never had any real interest in a physical Hall Of Fame, Triple H is very interested in it, and is looking to make it happen.

According to sources, Adam Rose being kept off Monday’s RAW broadcast had nothing to do with his injury as he worked a match on Superstars. Numerous WWE officials including Vince McMahon have already “cooled off” on his character. For what it’s worth, Vince is not completely sold on any of the new characters as of late including Paige and Bo Dallas. Of course, with Vince making all the key/final decisions, that doesn’t spell good news for their futures on the main roster.

In a recent production meeting, Kevin Dunn reportedly buried Rose and Vince didn’t seem to disagree. This is also the reason Paige has the WWE Divas title but has also had very little character development. Kevin Dunn is said to be very high on Alicia Fox right now, thus the reason for her current push. Expect to see more and more of her on WWE television in the coming weeks.

Vince McMahon could renew CM Punk’s contract in July. The latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has provided some new information regarding a clause that exists in every WWE contract that would allow the company to automatically renew any superstars contract upon expiration.

The only known case of WWE executives renewing a superstar’s contract without the superstar signing an extension, or a brand new deal all together, was the recent renewal of Rey Mysterio’s WWE deal. McMahon reportedly renewed Mysterio’s contract for another year due to Mysterio’s time off while healing from injuries.

According to reports, McMahon feels as if Mysterio owes the company more time since he has spent so much of his latest contract off recovering from multiple ailments. Currently, Mysterio is rehabilitating from a injured hand, but he also had surgery on his knee in June of 2013 which kept him off WWE TV for almost eight months.

Mysterio was not expected to renew his WWE contract upon the deal coming to an end this month, but WWE renewed it anyway. With Punk’s contract coming to an end in July, McMahon could renew his deal as well.

Whether or not Punk would actually come back to work if his contract was renewed is left to be seen. However, if WWE renews his contract, it would keep him from working anywhere else.

Punk has not appeared on WWE programming since January’s “Royal Rumble” PPV, but has been mentioned a couple of times when WWE events have taken place in his home town of Chicago. The most recent comments made in regards to Punk were made by Paul Heyman and Stephanie McMahon during the June 1 “Payback” event, where McMahon made mention to Punk “quitting” the company.

Punk himself has recently been labeled as a “retired” wrestler by a former girlfriend. He confirmed this claim in a recent interview, and is set to marry former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee in June 2014.
