More WWE News: Umaga’s Release, Drug Testing, Announcing Duties, More

– There are conflicting reports going around regarding Umaga’s release. The word going around is that he asked for his release from the company, while some don’t believe that to be the case. The release was decided upon within the last week, and right now there is a lot of speculation going on about the release.

– WWE did drug testing on Monday. While some seem to think that WWE is hiding drug test failures, the policy is the same as it was, which means if someone fails, it will be made public that they failed.

– Vince McMahon is said to be very on edge right now, and being a member of the support staff is no fun at all.

– There has been no decision made regarding who will take over as the GM of Raw, but with the show being in Charlotte Monday, many are assuming that it will be Ric Flair.

– Jerry Lawler was made the “point man” so to speak Monday night, as when it was time to get the important angles over (like the beat down on Batista) Michael Cole became quiet and Lawler dominated the commentary. Vince made the call because he trusts Lawler more than Cole.
