There was some serious talk over the weekend about what to do with Shelton Benjamin at the Backlash PPV in just two weeks. There had been rumors of making the current Triple Threat match with Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, and Triple H a fatal fourway. The current plan though is to go through with the Triple Threat match although a ladder stipulation will be added. That should be announced tonight on RAW or next week. We should have a better understanding of where Shelton will be on the PPV after tonight.
================================================== =======
We have been told the working plan is to go with John Cena vs. Renee Dupree for Judgment Day. Also at Judgment Day is Bradshaw vs. Eddie Guerrero for the WWE championship.

Val Venis worked this weekend’s house shows as a heel on Raw. At last night’s show they started him out face but turned him heel on Rhyno. It is unknown at this point if that means a possible transition on television, however, most within the company say that Val is willing to take any work that they will give him.
================================================== =======
WWE management remains to be extremely high up on Chris Jericho and Christian’s matches at recent Raw brand house shows as well as the matches between Triple H and Chris Benoit. It seems as if week in and week out, all four men are praised backstage for their ability to put on excellent matches.

Shelton Benjamin is also impressing WWE officials since his transition to Raw. Many in the company feel that he has the potential to be a major player as a singles superstar.

I hope that Benjamin gets a big enough push to get him and Orton in a fued for the IC title. Since Foley isn't staying around for the long run, maybe after his and Orton's feud is over, Orton and Benjamin will start a feud for the IC title. I bet that them 2 could put on a hell of a match.
