- Sting was originally scheduled to appear on the 1/31 iMPACT! show but at this point has not signed a new contract with TNA Wrestling. Dixie Carter is aware of the WWE rumor and would be disappointed if he jumped ship and left TNA. She has told creative to create a storyline for Sting's return.
- Triple H is scheduled to return within a few weeks and is slated to appear at WrestleMania 27. The reason he hasn't been brought back quicker is because he is not involved in the Elimination Chamber angle and obviously wouldn't win, so WWE want his return to have a big impact. In terms of his role right now, he is continuing to learn all aspects of the business and has received praise at the dedication he is showing in trying to learn.
