Inside Details On Rock's Return, Mysterio's Return, Jillian/Brooke Rumors

source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

The Rock's surprise appearance this past Monday on RAW was put together by writer Brian Gerwitz. Gerwitz and The Rock keep in contact on a regular basis. Gerwitz asked The Rock if he would make a cameo appearance on RAW to help promote WrestleMania, and he agreed. Also, The Rock's dialogue in his cameo was completely unscripted.

When Rey Mysterio was at the SmackDown show in San Diego a few weeks ago, he was asked if he could return to the brand now. He was walking around with a limp backstage and doctors have adviced him to not return until July. Also note, he doesn't really need a cane. He only used a cane in his appearance so that Vince could use it on him to get heel heat. When he returns, there are plans for him to be one of the big eight stars in the company on his own, as opposed to doing some sort of Eddie Guerrero-related story.

In the latest edition of "Diva Dish" on WWE.com, Jillian Hall attempts to dispel the rumors that she's mocking Hulk Hogan's daughter Brooke with her new bad singer gimmick. Jillian said that she's singing because she wants to and that it has nothing to do with Hogan's daughter. "I have no idea where people are getting this idea. The only things we have in common are blonde hair and we're both pop stars. There are a lot of blonde pop stars out there; it doesn't mean I'm trying to be her. I think people are saying this only because she's associated with wrestling, but her name has never come up when it comes to what I'm doing. I'm doing my own thing," Jillian said. The story originally started in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter a few weeks ago. After Hulk Hogan read off the list of candidates for this year's WWE Hall of Fame, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H wanted to get back at him because he infuriated Vince McMahon. So they devised this new gimmick for Jillian, which in their mind, is intended to be a spoof on Brooke Hogan. They had Jillian's hair styled after Brooke Hogan. She was also given accented contact lenses to make her eyes the same unusual blue color that Brooke's eyes are.
