The Rock Answers Plus Evan Bourne & Maryse News

Last night's Raw finally brought the big answer everyone was expecting. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will partner up with John Cena at Survivor Series 2011. Rock gave his answer at the start of the show saying he's doing it for "the people" and his dislike of Miz and Truth. This match will give a teaser of Cena and Rock in the same ring, albeit as a tag team. Most likely, they'll pull one of those sorts of finishes where each guy blind tags the other to try to show them up with finishing moves.

It's also been reported that Evan Bourne of the tag team champs Air Boom has been suspended for 30 days due to violation of WWE's Wellness Policy. This could put the tag team titles in jeopardy or not. Bourne tweeted on Tuesday: "Love you guys! I'll be back in a flash. Air Boom will not be derailed!" Bourne is the most recent start suspended for this violation, following in the footsteps of Darren Young and Heath Slater who were suspended in October.

Also, something that occurred this past weekend was the unfortunate release of WWE diva Maryse. Maryse hadn't been on TV a whole lot in recent times, with her hosting and storyline involvement on NXT among her latest roles. Still, it's a shame to see this beauty let go. However, it appears WWE is grooming divas like Aksana, AJ and Kaitlyn to be its latest eye candy. Maryse released the following statement about her release, talking about her "future endeavors."

“After six fantastic years with the WWE, I’ve decided to move on and begin the next chapter of my life. Thank you to all of my fans, colleagues and the WWE Universe.

Living in Los Angeles, I look forward to continuing my career in entertainment and creating new and exciting content!"

Best of luck to Maryse, and let's hope TNA does not snatch her away!

The Miz is PWI #1 & Maryse's Stalker

In the latest WWE news, WWE Diva Maryse (Maryse Ouellet) has filed a restraining order against a man who she claims is obsessed with her. The man is named Lee Silber and is 61-years-old, but has said he plans to come to LA to see Maryse and will "take her to heaven with him."

The recent report on TMZ notes that the man has sent letters promising Maryse a check for $100,000, and a 100-carat diamond ring worth $20,000,000 to prove he is Maryse's friend. Maryse has said she's received more than 50 voicemails on her personal cell phone as well as many "terrifying letters" sent to her home. Due to all of this she has filed in LA County Superior Court as she said "I fear for my life." Maryse has reported added more security at home too, as she attempts to get this crazy stalker off her case. This is one of those scary incidents where life has imitated art a bit, as fans will recall WWE Raw had a mini-storyline involving what appeared to be a secret admirer for Maryse. It turned out to be Goldust, and he was more obsessed with the Million Dollar Belt because it was "Golddddd."

Also mentioned in TMZ's article briefly is the wrestler Maryse was linked to romantically, The Miz. The Miz is recently getting plenty of buzz over the fact he was named #1 on the PWI 500 wrestling list. Miz makes the cover of the issue and has plenty of fans debating whether he belongs there.

The Miz won Money in the Bank back in July 2010, and then went on to cash in on Raw in November of 2010 to defeat Orton for the WWE Championship. Miz held the belt until May of this year, when John Cena defeated him in the Triple Threat cage match. Miz has also held the United States Championship and part of the tag team titles during his career. However, it appears the ranking is based more on Miz's appeal to fans, and his ability to sell a new character. He really was able to generate heat and crowd response during his feud with Cena, as well as pulling off a victory over Cena at Wrestlemania (with The Rock's help).

Another aspect of The Miz is that he was able to help put Daniel Bryan over a bit more with the fans, and has done the same with Alex Riley. That is a characteristic most wrestling organizations want, as The Miz has been able to get media attention and help push other wrestlers. Is the Miz the best "wrestler" per se? Probably not, but his level of improvement has been leaps and bounds over some others. It would be hard to choose anyone else over The Miz in terms of his ability to sell, especially with some of his promo/mic work.

What it looks like will be next for Miz after failing to win the WWE Championship back on Monday, is a feud with HHH. It was hinted at during his interview with Josh Matthews on Raw, when Miz blamed Cena and Triple H for ruining WWE. There's been rumors that it will be The Miz vs Triple H at Wrestlemania 28, and that could certainly be something the WWE is working towards right now.

Maryse opened the heart box of Skittles and dumped them all over Horney, then shoved him down and threw the box at him.

He locked an abdominal stretch on to further punish Young.

Young tried to leave the match, walking up the ramp at one point, but Titus ran up and retrieved him then brought him back to the ring for more. An Irish whip to the corner sent Young out over the corner to the floor. As the match progressed, Derrick Bateman arrived down to ringside area to watch, right as NXT went to a commercial.

The match returned with Young controlling things with a headlock. Bateman was shown at ringside with some sort of photo or picture in hand. Young had another headlock on Titus, but the big man powered out of it and gave a hip toss to throw Young away.

Later in the match, Hornswoggle was on the apron arguing a call with the ref. Titus tried to go against the ropes, but Bateman tripped him to the mat. The move backfired for Bateman though, because Young missed on a dropkick attempt due to Titus falling. Titus was still able to get up and finish off Young with the Clash of the Titus finisher. Titus hoisted Hornswoggle on his shoulders to celebrate the win. Bateman had a mean look on his mug outside the ring.

Winner: Titus O'Neil wins via pinfall over Darren Young.

Bateman went over and shook hands with Regal before getting into the ring to pose. Bateman got on the mic to welcome fans to NXT. Bateman said the WWE begged and pleaded for him to come back and save the show. He said his opponents are seeking redemption, but he's going to redeem redemption. Bateman promised to redeem the entire WWE. The crowd started to boo, and then Darren Young came out to interrupt.

Young asked him who he thinks he is, reminding him of what he's done in the past, main eventing Summerslam, wrestling John Cena on Raw. He told Bateman he's done more in WWE already than Bateman will ever do. He then said Titus O'Neil isn't a D-Young, but at least he's been there all 19 weeks of the competitions. Bateman interrupted to ask why he's defending Titus O'Neil. Hornswoggle's music hit and Titus O'Neil came out to intervene in the convo.

The three rookies got into an argument in the ring, and almost got into a physical confrontation. That brought out Maryse to intervene. She spoke on the mic from the stage, saying the three rooks can try to prove themselves in a Triple Threat Elimination match next.

Hornswoggle was backstage in the locker room staring at a framed picture of Maryse. Bottles of root beer were all over the table. Titus O'Neil came in to ask where Hornswoggle was for his match earlier. He saw Horney staring at the picture and confronted him about it saying he needs to get over her. Just then a man walked in with a package for a Mr. H. Swoggle. It was a small box with candy inside. Horney opened it and started to munch on them, then looked at the picture thinking it was from Maryse. Titus just shook his head trying to tell him it wasn't Maryse who sent them.

What's Up With WWE Diva Kharma?

Quite an interesting past few days with the Pay-Per-View results giving not much in terms of new champions or surprises. The WWE has had some good opportunities to really rev things up, but has failed to do so. One case in point may be WWE Diva Kharma.

Kharma is of course the former TNA Knockout champ, Awesome Kong. For weeks her role has been to interrupt matches on Raw or Smackdown or at PPV's. She's used her finisher on the likes of Eve Torres, Layla and one of the Bella Twins. Kharma was absent from the latest PPV, Over The Limit 2011 though.

Then came Raw. There was an 8 divas tag match involving Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, Eve Torres and Beth Phoenix against Melina, Maryse and The Bella Twins. Before the match was a minute or more underway, Kharma interrupted and headed to the ring looking to cause some damage.

Except she didn't do a thing really. She got in the ring, allowed herself to be surrounded by divas and then fell to her knees crying. It puzzled, the divas in the ring, a lot of viewers, and wrestling analysts as to what in the heck was going on. Was Kharma showing her vulnerabilities after weeks of superiority? She went from mighty force to be reckoned with all the way down to babbling baby.

When the Kelly Kelly vs Brie Bella match for OTL was put in place, it seemed like Kelly was destined to win the Divas championship. Karma's been eyeing her for weeks, so it made more sense that Kharma would defeat Kelly for the divas title rather than a heel, like Brie. However, Kelly lost at OTL and Kharma never showed up.

So what's up with Kharma? Over at Diva Dirt they ran a poll to have fans vote on what's going on. The popular choice is "It's all an act! She's lulling the Divas into a false sense of security. 47.71% (699 votes)." Coming in 2nd is "It's all an act! She's lulling the Divas into a false sense of security. 47.71% (699 votes)."

One of the comments there suggests that Karma felt ganged up on by "the pretty divas" similar to the pretty girls who used to make fun of her when she was younger. So it's very likely that's why she takes out aggression on pretty dolls and has been admiring Kelly Kelly. They may even become friends, but it just seems to defeat the whole point of weeks of decimating divas in the ring.

If anything, Kharma should've fought off the divas one by one, battle royal style, tossing them out over the ropes. Only problem is, Beth Phoenix seems like the one who could really give a good battle with "Awesome Kong" aka Kharma. Let's hope it's headed that way!
