Goldust, who currently works behind the scenes as a producer and trainer for WWE, has begun campaigning on Twitter for a match against his brother Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XXVIII.
He states, “With your voices heard to @WWE, goldust vs cody at wm28…..ic title versus career. For the haters can hope i lose to cody and retire, teamgoldie can hope for an ass whoopin for the ages and new ic champ.”
Goldust continues, “Here’s the deal…..the fire in me is too strong to lose to my move stealing lemmule of a brother….experience everytime.
“His ic title …..my career…..i would whoop him, take back My ic title and shatter all his dreams. Only teamgoldie can make this happen…u know how much it means to me.”
Meanwhile, Goldust has been blocking users who mention his former personas, including Black Reign and the short-lived Seven.
Chris Jericho recently got some attention by announcing on Twitter that he’ll never wrestle for WWE again. While this might alarm some WWE fans expecting to see Jericho return at some point – it appears to be a joke about WWE’s policy of their talent being “entertainers” and not “wrestlers.”
Most people within WWE expect Jericho to return soon and get back to “sports entertaining” the WWE Universe.
Maria Kanellis announced during last night’s AfterBuzzTV broadcast for Monday Night Rawthat she will be returning to the squared circle on February 25, 2012 for New York City based promotion Family Wrestling Entertainment.
It will be her first match in two years and outside of WWE—she last competed at the February 23, 2010 WWE Superstars taping. She was released from her contract with WWE three days after the event and recently resurfaced on the wrestling scene to support her boyfriend, Ring of Honor talent Mike Bennett, at independent shows. She stated last Tuesday on Facebook that she had resumed wrestling training.
