— SmackDown wrestler Brian Kendrick may be getting a bodyguard, reports prowrestling.NET. Kendrick worked a dark match with Funaki prior to last night’s SmackDown/ECW taping and brought out a bodyguard. His name is Rycklon Stephens and he is currently under a developmental contract working for Florida Championship Wrestling. Stephens may be the most muscular guy in the entire company as he is billed at 305 pounds. You can see a photo of the duo at last night’s taping at this link.
— On Monday’s Raw it was announced in a backstage segment featuring Kelly Kelly, Mickie James, and John Cena, that Kelly was now a part of the Raw roster. WWE.com has moved her profile from the ECW section to the Raw section, which you can see at this link. Kelly was likely moved due to the shortage of babyface women’s wrestlers on the Raw brand as Mickie James was the only active one (Melina – out for five months due to heel injury, Candice Michelle – out until at least SummerSlam due to clavicle injury, Ashley Massaro – likely on her way out of the company and/or dealing with personal problems).
— WWE.com has posted the synopsis for WWE 24/7 programming during the month of August. August will be the annual “Flight 24/7: Destination Worldwide” theme featuring wrestlers & matches from around the globe. {WWE 24/7 August 2008 programming synopsis}
