WWE champion CM Punk and John Cena vs. Big Show and John Laurinaitis is being locally advertised for WWE's return to Chicago at the Allstate Arena on 9/3.

Online now in the PWInsider.com Elite section is Armando Alejandro Estrada in his first interview since being released by WWE, discussing what happened and why he was never used, being under contract for 15 months, pitching ideas to Vince McMahon and the creative team, the sheer amount of people trying to get Vince's attention weekly, believing they forgot he was even under contract, why he asked someone to bring up his name knowing it could lead to being let go, being let go, whether he regretted signing the deal, what he was doing while waiting to return to TV, breaking into WWE via OVW, the origins of his persona, working with the late Umaga, being phased away from him during the Wrestlemania feud with Bobby Lashley, memories of working with John Cena, Umaga's classic Last Man Standing bout with Cena, debuting against Ric Flair, future goals, his restaurant in Arizona, how he went from silent partner to running it daily, returning to his native Chicago, whether he can use his WWE persona on the independents, Zack Ryder being punished for getting over with the audience and much, much more! A great conversation with one of the most colorful talkers of the current era.
