– It appears as though Ezekiel Jackson is officially gone from "The Corre" after being attacked by the group on last night's WWE SmackDown! broadcast. Wade Barrett tweeted the following last night: "It's been a pleasure working with you, Zeke. Zeke got too big for his boots. I hope he has learned a valuable lesson."

– During a THQ conference call last week, it was noted that the SmackDown! vs. RAW and WWE All Stars video games have shipped out more than four million units thus far. It should be noted that THQ's UFC Undisputed video game shipped nearly three million units. THQ also revealed that they suffered a $44.1 million loss in the fourth quarter alone and had a total loss of $136.1 million for the whole fiscal year. Ouch!

– As most of you know by now, Randy Orton defeated Christian to win the WWE World Title on last night's WWE SmackDown! broadcast. This is Orton's eighth run as champion.
