Shawn Michaels noted on his Twitter that he would be visiting at Smackdown this week in Las Vegas as he is in town filming for his hunting show.

A lot of people I've spoken to today within WWE are shaking their heads at Vince McMahon's decision to forbid CM Punk from appearing at the UFC on FOX broadcast on 1/28 in Punk's hometown. As they noted to me, they can understand not wanting WWE talent to appear elsewhere, but if it would create a buzz and get people talking about WWE, why not do it. "Vince seems to have forgotten the reaction to Brock Lesnar and Undertaker staring at each other already," joked one person that works in the HQ.

Batista and former foe Mark Henry reunited over the weekend, attending a Wu Tang Clan concert together in Austin, Texas, according to defsounds.com.
