Many have been speculating about Christian Cage coming to the WWE, and those speculations are looking to be correct. TNA has come out and said he is leaving and the WWE is expecting him to sign soon.

Some fans are thinking that because he will sign soon he will be in the Royal Rumble, and that is true—sort of. See, he will be at the Royal Rumble, but not in it.

Now of course this is a rumored storyline the WWE is thinking about doing, but they want Cage to screw over Jeff Hardy so that Edge will win back the WWE Championship. He will be an eight-time World Champion if it is done.

There has already been a storyline blaming Cage for beating up Hardy in the Boston Hotel, putting him out of the matchup, so it looks as if two things will happen. Of course Cage will screw over Hardy; we know that.

In addition, the WWE will either have Hardy go crazy attacking someone in the Rumble and taking their place, possibly coming out No. 30 and then winning the Rumble, or Hardy will leave that night, come on SmackDown upset, and demand to match with Edge for the Title. But then Vickie would say he has to earn it by facing Cage at No Way Out.

If he wins then he can face Edge for the WWE Title. Of course, this would hinge on who wins the Rumble and who the WWE wants him to face at Wrestlemania.

Many feel that Hardy will not face Cage but one time if any. Therefore, I'd see him out of the Mania match for the WWE Title, and Hardy in it.

As I mentioned, these storylines are rumored and not official. However, it would work if the WWE wanted to do it.

Another rumor was that Cage would return at the Rumble in the Royal Rumble match and win. Still, that would be unlikely considering they want him to be with Edge and on his side for the time being.

Personally, I want to see Cage return and screw over Hardy. I could see Hardy snap and get in the Rumble match, win it, and then take out Cage.

I think the WWE would do a storyline on Cage being the reason why Edge won the title from Hardy, but they would have Hardy out of the WWE Title contention because he is a threat to Edge keeping the Title. To spite them Hardy would win the Rumble, making sure he had to be in title contention. It would work more in my opinion, but we will have to see.

It also keeps Hardy, Edge, and newly acquired Cage in the SmackDown spotlight. I also think this would get SmackDown amazing ratings too.

What do you think? Which angle would you most like to see?

Former WWF/WWE Diva Joanie Laurer (also known as Chyna) was rushed to the hospital on Saturday morning after she was found passed out with cuts on her arms in her Burbank, California home. She was so drunk when was admitted.

Paramedics were called to her home just before 5 AM Saturday.

She was celebrating her 36th birthday with a few friends and had a way too many drinks -- which didn't mix well with her prescriptions.

Her friends found her passed out with cuts on the arms and were so worried, so they called the 911. She was taken to the hospital, but her high blood alcohol level prevented doctors from performing a psychiatric evaluation.

TMZ.com caught up with the former WWF Women's Champion at the hospital and she said, "All I really want right now is a hamburger and fries right now."

TORONTO – With just three more sleeps until Christmas, Raw slid into Canada to deliver some holiday cheer – at least most Superstars were there to deliver cheer. A handful on the naughty list, however, did their level best to earn a few well-deserved lumps of coal. And one gave the hometown crowd a little something extra to cheer about.

World Heavyweight Champion John Cena & Trish Stratus def. Santino Marella & Women's Champion Beth Phoenix
It's a Christmas miracle! At least that's how World Heavyweight Champion John Cena categorized it before announcing that seven-time Women's Champion Trish Stratus would be teaming with him in place of Kelly Kelly, who left the arena distraught, against Santino Marella & Women's Champion Beth Phoenix. Needless to say, Stratus' fellow Canadians appreciated one of their own striking back against the arrogance of Glamarella and competing for the first time since September 2006. Stratusfaction guaranteed, Stratusfaction delivered.

Chris Jericho def. CM Punk
In the fourth and final bout of the night to determine who will advance to next week's Fatal Four Way Elimination Match, 2008 Slammy Award winner for Superstar of the Year Chris Jericho took on the challenge of CM Punk for the last slot in the Fatal Four Way Elimination Match. After a determined Punk appeared to have Jericho in his crosshairs, the ruthless Undisputed Champion summoned his unyielding longing and managed to conquer the Straightedge Superstar. Jericho's inclusion completes the lineup for next Monday's Fatal Four Way Elimination Match, including Shawn Michaels, JBL and Randy Orton as the Superstars compete for the opportunity to face John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble.

The Miz & John Morrison confront Kelly Kelly
Perhaps Kelly Kelly thought she was off the hook once she spilled The Miz's name to Kane last week when the Big Red Monster demanded to know the identity of her secret lover. If so, she doesn't know Miz & Morrison all that well. After letting them know that she will be Cena's partner in the Mixed Tag Team Match, the "Dirt Sheet" duo informed her that they heard a rumor that "somebody" broke into the Diva's hotel room and trashed the place. Why would anyone want to do that to "sweet, innocent Kelly Kelly?" asked Morrison.

Randy Orton def. Batista due to forfeit
Due to injuries suffered by Batista last week as a result of the punt to the head, compliments of Randy Orton, The Animal was unable to compete and forfeited the match. The forfeit allows Orton, who callously called the kick to Batista's skull his most satisfying, to advance into next week's Fatal Four Way Elimination Match in a battle to become the No. 1 contender to World Heavyweight Champion John Cena.

JBL def. Rey Mysterio by disqualification when HBK interferes on behalf of Mysterio
In the second match of the night to determine who will advance to next Monday's Fatal Four Way Elimination Match, the scales of injustice tipped in favor of JBL, with Shawn Michaels leaning heavily in his favor.

Just as JBL's opponent Rey Mysterio appeared to overcome the Longhorn Loudmouth's size advantage, sizing up the mouthy millionaire for a 619, Michaels charged down the entrance ramp. HBK, who had earlier discussed his money woes with longtime confidante Triple H, seized his benefactor Layfield, dragged him from the ring and slapped him across the face. The harsh action, while seemingly punitive to JBL, resulted in a disqualification for Rey. Michaels' interference permits JBL to advance to next Monday night's Fatal Four Way Match in the Race to the Rumble.

Melina & Mickie James def. Jillian Hall & Layla
With Intercontinental Champion William Regal observing intently, his lady-friend Layla teamed with Jillian Hall to battle Melina & Mickie James in a Divas Tag Team Match. After Jillian belted out a stomach-turning version of a holiday tune, the Divas got down to business. In the end, it was Melina who would silence Jillian by pinning her rival for the three-count.

Kofi Kingston def. Manu
He may have helped to distract John Cena last week, which allowed Randy Orton to punt Batista in the head, but Manu couldn't help himself tonight against high-flying Kofi Kingston. As his fellow second-generation Superstar Cody Rhodes looked on, Manu simply could not leverage his size and strength advantage to his favor, succumbing to the swift aerial assault of the Jamaican Sensation.

Afterward, Manu, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Afa, experienced a tense run-in with Randy Orton, the self-styled leader of the group of the second-generation Superstars; Manu interrupted a conversation between Orton and Sim Snuka, son of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka.

Kane apologizes to Kelly Kelly; Shawn Michaels def. Kane
After accosting Kelly Kelly last week and scaring the bejeezus out of her, an ever-so-slightly less psychotic Big Red Monster apologized to the tormented Diva at the behest of Stephanie McMahon. Kane still did not learn the identity of Kelly Kelly's secret lover, but he did have a chance to take out his aggression on Shawn Michaels.

Unfortunately for Kane, HBK had some aggression of his own to vent. Michaels emerged victorious in the first of four matches of the night to determine who advances to the following Monday night's Fatal Four Way Elimination Match. The winner of the elimination bout will earn No. 1 contender status and face World Heavyweight Champion John Cena in a title match at the Royal Rumble.

Santino challenges John Cena; Cena accepted the Mixed Tag Team main event
Santino Marella, joined Women's Champion Beth Phoenix, kicked off Raw with all the holiday cheer of expired egg nog. The grinchin' goomba verged on revealing a "secret" he said he knows about Santa Claus, but before he could reveal the secret, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena interrupted. Cena told Santino not to mess with jolly, ol' Saint Nick, which prompted the Italian to challenge him to a match. John Cena and a Diva of his choosing will square off later tonight against Santino & Beth.
