After speaking with sources I have learned the early plans as of now for next years WrestleMania 28 card.
Obviously The Rock vs John Cena and the plan is to have the WWE title be on the line in that match.
The Undertaker vs Chris Jericho would also be on the card. A rematch between Triple H and The Undertaker is rumored to take place at this years SummerSlam.
Triple H would go to WrestleMania next year going up against The Miz.
Alberto Del Rio vs Randy Orton.
Sin Cara vs Rey Mysterio.
And the celebrity involvement that the WWE is hoping for is Big Show in a match against retired NBA star Shaq.
These plans are all subject to change between now the start of 2012 based on injuries and other factors. As of now, this is the card that the WWE is looking to have for WrestleMania 28 in Miami.

I wouldn't believe anyone's Mania card at this point. But it was something that was thrown out there.

Bret Hart is rumored to be returning to WWE television in the near future. The Hitman is booked for several upcoming SmackDown shows and creative is discussing possible storyline ideas for him.
- There has been talk of the USA Network airing a new 'preview' show on Monday nights prior to WWE RAW, similar to what the NFL does with its pre-game show for Monday Night Football.
- Despite several botched attempts at establishing Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase as a viable tag team, WWE officials are said to be committed to getting them over on the SmackDown brand. The dynamic between The Miz and Alex Riley is being seen as a blueprint for what WWE will do with DiBiase and Rhode, with DiBiase doing Rhodes' dirty work for now and then eventually turning babyface and feuding with Rhodes.
Tough Enough winner Andy Leavine got screamed at backstage at RAW the night of the Tough Enough season finale. A top WWE official ripped into Leavine for about five minutes due to the way he didn't sell the slap from Mr. McMahon and Steve Austin's Stone Cold Stunner. Leavine was told that he's a piece of crap who doesn't respect the business and will never amount to anything in WWE. As previously reported, Leavine will be heading to developmental to sharpen his skills in the coming months. Considering the heat on him, it will be interesting to see if he ever makes it out of FCW.

My prediction of Andy being gone within a year is looking solid right now
And a preview show before Raw? Sounds like a bad idea but we'll see.

They should just recap last week, show the (not anymore) "dark match", and then hype up what you can expect for the show tonight. Don't use Cole or Lawler, except for maybe a segment to talk about one or two things. Scott Stanford for host!
I actually like this idea if executed propery...which means I have no hope for this idea.

Might find this interesting after seeing CM Punk's recent work. don't read if you want to be surprised. Seriously.
Spoiler: click to toggle Introduction: With C.M. Punk now holding the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, let's look back at the great angle that ROH ran in 2005 when Punk gave his notice that he was leaving to go to WWE. This angle would become known as the Summer of Punk. After Punk's awesome feud with Samoa Joe in 2004, Mick Foley, an occasional ROH performer at the time, recommended to WWE that they hire both men. (To read my column on the Joe vs. Punk feud, check out this link http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/The_Specialists_34/article_31853.shtml) Joe chose TNA over WWE, which allowed him to continue wrestling for ROH until ROH phased out using TNA talent (other than as occasional guest stars) in 2007. Meanwhile, Punk signed a WWE developmental contract in the spring of 2005. Feud Overview ROH announced that Punk's last match before joining WWE would be at Death Before Dishonor III in Morristown, New Jersey on June 18, and that he would be challenging Austin Aries for the ROH World Title. The context of this match is important to understanding the angle. The fact that the show was called Death Before Dishonor III deliberately recalled the first Death Before Dishonor show, two years earlier in Elizabeth, New Jersey. On that show, Paul London wrestled his last ROH match before leaving for WWE, challenging Samoa Joe for the title. The parallel was obvious and important because the first Death Before Dishonor was a monumental show in ROH history. One of the things it is remembered for is London making an emotional farewell speech and kissing the ROH logo in the ring after the match. (For more on the original Death Before Dishonor, I recommend that Torch VIP readers check out the latest edition of the Radican audio showcase in which Sean Radican and Derek Burgan interview former ROH owner Rob Feinstein about this show.) The Death Before Dishonor parallel created the expectation that, win or lose, Punk would be making a farewell speech like London's after the match. Cue the big swerve: Punk won the title from Aries in a fantastic match, Aries grudgingly presented him with the title belt and shook his hand, Punk soaked in an enormous babyface reaction from the crowd and then cut a phenomenal heel promo. Anybody who does not think Punk has the mic skills to be a centerpiece heel in WWE needs to watch this promo. Punk's promo turned himself from the biggest babyface in ROH to the biggest heel instantly. During his heel turn promo, Punk announced that he would take the ROH belt with him to WWE. This brought out Christopher Daniels, who had not been seen in ROH since Punk had kayfabe injured him with a Pepsi Plunge through a table eighteen months earlier. Daniels had been the top heel in ROH for the company's first two years, but confronting Punk in this context turned him babyface. The segment ended with Punk fleeing the building to escape Daniels. This led to a series of shows over the summer of 2005 built around the whole ROH roster chasing Punk to keep him from leaving the promotion with the title. Punk tried to avoid defending the title, but Mick Foley got involved in the storyline and managed to force Punk to defend the title at each of the next three shows. Punk wrestled and defeated Jay Lethal at Sign of Dishonor in Long Island, Roderick Strong at Escape From New York and James Gibson at Fate of an Angel in Woodbridge, Connecticut. After Punk defeated Gibson at Fate of an Angel, it looked like Punk was about to take the title with him to WWE until Daniels hit the ring and stole the belt. This drew Punk into wrestling Daniels at the next show, The Homecoming in Philadelphia, to get possession of the belt back. The match went to a sixty-minute draw and the show ended ambiguously as to whether Punk would be back. The next two shows were a weekend double shot, Friday in Dayton, Ohio, and Saturday in Chicago. ROH announced on its website that this really would be Punk's last weekend with the company. In a last ditch effort to get the belt off Punk, he had to face Samoa Joe, Daniels, and Gibson in a Four Corner Elimination Match at Redemption in Dayton. During the match, Punk hit Gibson with a chair while the referee was distracted, causing Gibson to have to be carried to the back. Later, Joe eliminated Daniels and Punk eliminated Joe with a roll-up after Daniels accidentally kicked Joe in the head while trying to interfere on Joe's behalf. This set up Gibson's heroic return to the ring with bloody bandages on his head to finally defeat Punk. After the match, Punk paid respect to Gibson and shook his hand, earning a "Thank you Punk" chant from the crowd. Dropping the belt to Gibson in Dayton allowed Punk to say a proper goodbye in his final show, Punk: The Final Chapter, in his home town of Chicago. Punk had always been a babyface in Chicago even when he was a heel in other cities, so wrapping up his heel run the night before was a smart move.

According to a reliable source in WWE, CM Punk’s memorable shoot promo that ended Monday’s episode of WWE RAW was entirely unscripted improvised by Punk. Punk was instructed to go out and say in his own words why he was leaving the company, and nobody in the back knew what he was going to say.
Company officials (and the entire locker room) were watching Punk’s promo very closely in case he went too far – and despite all the taboo things mentioned by the #1 contender to the WWE championship, the production team was only told to cut the segment when WWE’s anti-bullying campaign was mentioned, as the company does not want the program’s legitimacy questioned by bringing it into a storyline.
Punk ‘s frustration with not being featured as a top superstar in WWE is legitimate and one of the reasons he’s been strongly considering leaving WWE.
As far as his contract status, Punk’s deal apparently expired the second week of July, but he recently signed an extension to work through the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on July 17th.
Based on what we are hearing, Punk really will be leaving WWE after Money in the Bank for at least a few months.

Good riddance. There is no place in this world for insubordinate people, especially ones who perform on a live stage in front of millions AND MILLIONS of fans.

Yeah, after reading the spoilers for next weeks raw, I thinks it's pretty much a huge waste of punk yet again.
