WWE.com Evaluates John Laurinaitis' Job Performance
WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim General Manager of Raw John Laurinaitis might have one less title preceding his name Monday – that’s when Chief Operating Officer Triple H rolls into town for Raw SuperShow to deliver a formal evaluation of the man who took his job. Laurinaitis has been on the clock since Oct. 10, 2011, when he supplanted Triple H as GM following a controversial “no confidence” vote in The King of Kings by WWE’s Board of Directors. Since then, the self-proclaimed “Mr. Excitement” has incurred the wrath of both John Cena and WWE Champion CM Punk for allowing Zack Ryder to compete through grievous injuries (though that may not have been entirely Laurinaitis' fault) and voicing his intentions to cheat Punk out of the WWE Championship at the 25th anniversary of the Royal Rumble.
Add to this the fact that the WWE Universe is well aware of Triple H’s own beef with Laurinaitis, and there’s a good chance The Game will go the CM Punk route and tear "Big Johnny" a new one on national television, opening the door for Punk to kick Laurinaitis’ head in at the Royal Rumble event.
Then again, this is a job evaluation, not a railroading. In his capacity as COO, Triple H has to examine all angles, good and bad. Mr. Laurinaitis has had some measurable success in his term as Interim Raw GM. Maybe The King of Kings will show mercy on his subject, who has already begun a pre-emptive campaign for a second chance. What our COO will decide is anyone’s guess, but in the meantime, consider that we’re fans too at WWE.com. We’re part of the WWE Universe as much as anyone, not to mention WWE employees. Our jobs are affected by Mr. Laurinaitis’ performance, and in that spirit, we’d like to present our own personal evaluation of Mr. Laurinaitis’ performance, and what we think Triple H might have to say on certain matters...More?

Updated Details from WWE’s Pilot Tapings in Florida
As noted earlier this morning, WWE quietly held tapings at Full Sail University in Florida earlier this month with FCW and WWE Superstars. The one-hour content filmed would be for a new Network show on WWE’s developmental territory while the thirty-minute show filmed would be something that focuses on one specific match or rivalry. All episodes filmed were pilots and may never be aired.
In addition to Triple H being there to oversee things, John Laurinaitis was also there. Triple H even came out and cut a promo to the crowd. The University was used to make the FCW product look better on TV but also as a test run for doing a more potentially “intimate” WWE show for the Network.

Jim Ross Returns to Raw in Mexico City, Competes in Tag Team Match
Jim Ross is back! After unceremoniously firing Good Ol’ J.R. last week in his home state of Oklahoma, John Laurinaitis appeared to have had a change of heart.
After an overwhelmingly negative response from the WWE Universe on his Twitter account (@WWERawGM), the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim General Manager of Raw invited Ross to Mexico during WWE’s tour of the country.
At a taping of the Raw SuperShow in Mexico City on Saturday, Laurinaitis invited Ross to once again be a part of Raw.
But instead of saddling up at the announce desk, J.R. was put in a tag team match. The WWE Hall of Famer teamed with John Cena to take on WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio and his partner – and Ross nemesis – Michael Cole.
