Wait wait, Christian is on the ECW brand??? Or just showed up or something? (I can't load WWE pages for some reason, so I can't read the story)

I hope to the high heavens he isn't on the ECW brand. He should be on RAW or Smackdown and instantly put in the title picture. He wasn't appreciated at the end of his last WWE tenure, let's hope they do this time around.

He's challenging for the ECW Championship.

Yeah it seems he is only on ECW sadly :(

He needs to be challenging Cena or Edge :p

Totally agree. I want him on SD with Edge and the Hardys. I guess they thought ECW would be somewhere where he wouldn't be lost in the pack.

Anyway, good news that Christian is back! Makes me want to actually watch ECW after a long time.

They won't want to associate him with Edge, they want to make Christian a good singles wrestler and not be linked with Edge this is a problem I think WWE have with the Hardys everyone thinks Matt and Jeff and not their singles success that being said don't be surprised if they push them together again because it means ratings.

It's known that a few storylines needed rewrites because of leaks.

I do hope Christian is given the push he clearly should have.

Yeah plus if you read wwe news daily you will know Christian has been backstage.

After watching ECW finally, I gotta admit I liked the way they brought him back. It was pretty obvious he was gonna be the person responsible for all the Jeff Hardy crap, but after it was leaked Vince got ticked and changed it to Matt, which is better anyways because Matt deserves some limelight shining on him also.

But Christian just showed up and beat Swagger. Now you can say all you want about the ECW brand. But Swagger is a hell of an athlete and wrestler. And Christians first match back he beat him of course. Whether or not he gets moved to the main RAW or Smackdown roster down the road is another story. But he's obviously gonna be going into Wrestlemania either as ECW champion, or winning the championship from Swagger or Finlay (who also deserves a title run).

Plus, I loved his new entrance music.

They'll switch him at the next draft, they have put him on ECW for one reason only and that is to make it watchable because before last night I stopped watching ECW because to me I still love the old ECW. Swagger is a good wrester but he can't cut promos for jack or look the part, he even dropped the belt at the beginning.

WWE confirms the Draft lottery will return after Wrestlemania XXV:

WWE has announced that the Draft will be coming back after WrestleMania XXV. The 2009 Draft will air a week after the big event on the April 13th edition of Monday Night Raw from Atlanta.

Here is a very good interview with John Cena that the Baltimore Sun did recently where he talks about lots of stuff, including last year's UK Sun interview where he pretty much told The Rock off for turning his back on the wrestling biz. Pretty good read actually even if you "hate" Cena, you gotta give him props for what he's done for the company over the past few years.

Baltimore Sun

Rappy: Based upon?

...the fact ECW is utter crap and Christian is to big a name for ECW. With that happening in April he would have a good 2 month title reign as champ then move...just my 2 cents tho.

Christian deserves to be on RAW or Smackdown in fueds with the big names. He was a multiple time world champion in TNA among other things. Up until Kurt Angle and Mick Foley went over there, he was the biggest name they had. I just hope WWE doesn't crap all over him. Vince has a thing for people who leave WWE and return. He likes to put them in the dog house for awhile.

He certainly can be a main eventer in WWE and deserves to be world champion there also. I can see great fueds for him:

Jericho

HHH

Cena

Shawn Michaels

Matt or Jeff Hardy

Edge

The list can go on and on. Christian is a terrific singles wrestler now, and can hold his own against anyone. Some of the stuff he did in TNA was way better than some of the guys do in WWE at this point.

It's almost a developmental brand! But that's fine cos it keeps the dross off SD/Raw...

Oh wait, no it doesn't!

Yeah they are using ECW to test new superstars, for example Tyson debuted this week from the Hart Stable and he looks good but if you debuted him on Raw he would of been not well received.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
