Varon Expected To Return To TNA, Non-reaction To Knockout's Departure, Hardy

-- Lisa Marie Varon (a/k/a Tara) is expected to return to TNA Wrestling. She was legitimately leaving when her previous contract expired, hence the retirement stipulation in her match with Madison Rayne at Sacrifice. But just before the match took place, she and Dixie Carter either cut a new deal or were closing in on one. Since the retirement stipulation was already in place, she lost as scheduled and left. Creative is now trying to develop an angle to explaining her return.

-- Unlike the case of Roxxi, there has been no strong reaction to ODB's departure from TNA Wrestling. A number of people within the company felt bad for Roxxi because she showed up for work on the day of Slammiversary and hastily informed her services would no longer be required. Many feel the Knockouts division "has gone to hell" as Roxxi was one of the better in-ring performers they had left. On another note, there is said to be no interest on the company's part in marketing women's wrestling, sans pushing "The Beautiful People" and Angelina Love.

-- Jeff Hardy's neck was bothering him following last weekend's live events.
