As noted late last night here on the site, Layla El has not been seen on television as of late due to the death of her mother. A friend of Layla updated her MySpace page regarding the situation. She wrote, "Her mother passed away unexpectedly and she's been out of the country dealing with everything." "I wanted you all to be aware of what is going on and send out as much positive energy and prayer to help her get through this difficult time in her life. The WWE has really helpful and understanding with her taking a little time off right now but she will definitely be back in full force before September."
The Sun has an article on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin after it was reported that he would be appearing at the Cyber Sunday pay-per-view on October 26th. The article speculates that Austin could be receptive to putting on one final match for WWE fans and getting a Ric Flair-style send off at WrestleMania XXV, which will be taking place in his home state of Texas. In the past year, Jim Ross has dropped a few hints that Austin would be open to it, according to the article. "Austin wants to make sure that if he gets into the ring, it's not just to capitalize on his name," one WWE source told The Sun. "He wants to be the best performer on the show. If he can't live up to that, he won't do a match. If he can be the old Stone Cold, then you'll see him wrestle at Wrestlemania XXV."Note from Ryan Clark: The Sun in the U.K is the American version of TMZ or any gossip magazine so take this with a grain of salt.
