- WWE has released developmental diva Angel Williams. She was most recently working in OVW. Williams was expected to be brought up to the main roster several times, but things never worked out. [PWInsider.com]
- Gregory Helms is set to have his fusion neck surgery on 5/21. He told WWE.com the following.
"It turns out that I have two cracked vertebrae, and one of them is pressing into my spinal cord. One is just demolished, and they told me that the pain I had outside my neck was pretty common; they call it pain referral. One is pressing so far into the spinal cord that I could risk paralysis if I kept going. We get bumps and bruises all the time, and I've been to the hospital before thinking something was wrong when I was just banged up, so I thought that this time too. I have a high tolerance for pain, but this pain is 24/7."
Helms will be out for a year. This is very similar to the surgeries that Steve Austin, Amy Dumas, Rhino, and Chris Benoit all had.
