Jonathan Coachman has yet to sign a contract with ESPN, but is hopeful a deal can be completed soon. In the meantime, Coachman has had talks with MSG network about working
full-time with them, but most are expecting him to end up with ESPN. His WWE contract expires in August, and he still on good terms with them, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. No one expects him to return to WWE, so its possible WWE could release him early to sign with ESPN or MSG.

TNA newcomer Consequences Creed was unable to appear at this week’s set of Impact tapings because he still attends college and he had some classes to attend to. His role in TNA has been limited as of late due to college and thus he can’t work a full-time schedule.
TNA taped several vignettes with Abyss at this week’s tapings to set up his return. Also, TNA is looking to scale back his reliance on thumbtacks and blood & gore. A few of his peers believe that he relies too frequently on gimmick matches and doesn’t have enough confidence in his actual wrestling ability.
