Backstage News: Y2J’s WWE Future + WrestleMania Plans

Source: The Wrestling Observer

— The latest on Chris Jericho is that a lot of people within WWE are still unsure what he’s going to do when his contract expires this month. Apparently Jericho isn’t talking to anyone about his plans, that goes from wrestlers to people in the office. Jericho had an interesting comment on Twitter last night: John Morrison and Sheamus had a hell of a match last night! The future of the company is in their (and a few select others) hands…. People are choosing to speculate that either he wants to work with Morrison and will stay around to do so, or he will leave and is making suggestions to WWE for who should take his spot.

— WWE hopes to have the top three matches for WrestleMania determined by November. There are currently plans to have a number of people turning face or heel by the time WM rolls around, including one very big name. As far as Money in the Bank goes, they are considering bringing it back for WM and doing the PPV again as well. Nothing has been decided on that front.

— Several years ago, former WWE wrestlers Mike Sanders, Raven and the now deceased Kanyon filed a lawsuit against WWE arguing their independent contractor classification from their WWE contracts. The lawsuit was dismissed.

Matt Hardy & WWE *officially* part ways….
