Same thing I was thinking. Just by saying "family", Chavo fits in the equation.
After Cena squashes Chavo, Edge'll probably come out and spear Cena or w/e.

Because Santino was in the match.
And going back to that first segment, I see that they are planting the seeds for that rumored Edge/Big Show WMXXV match..

When did JBL get so blubbery.
When he was with Farooq I thought he was at least semi-jacked.
I miss the 90s too.

-- As announced this evening, WWE has parted ways with Raw Superstar Manu (real name Afa Anoa'i, Jr.). Regarding his release from the company - which wassaid to not be much of a surprise - officials were unhappy with his ring work, as well as his overall appearance, which led to his removal from Legacy. Manuhad not been seen in several weeks, although the beginning of the end actually started on the last episode of Raw in 2008.
After Randy Orton grew tired of Legacy losing matches, he scheduled a test for each member on the December 29, 2008 episode of Raw; however, Manu failed topass his test after he lost to the ECW Champion, Matt Hardy, and was kicked out as his former companions Rhodes and Sim Snuka turned their backs on him. Later,Snuka also got kicked out of the group, and the two quickly reunited. They planned to get their revenge on Orton and Rhodes on the January 12, 2009 episode ofRaw, with the aid of the returning Ted DiBiase, but DiBiase betrayed them, and joined Legacy with Orton and Rhodes. Manu never appeared in a WWE ring again.
Following a tryout at Deep South Wrestling, WWE signed Anoa'i to a developmental contract in October 2006. Under the name Afa Jr., Anoa'i spent nearlytwo years in developmental. His stay in developmental was highlighted by a FCW Heavyweight Championship win on October 16, 2007. Afa Jr. defeated Harry"DH" Smith by countout (he was touring with WWE in UK at the time), to become the new FCW Heavyweight Champion. Afa Jr. would lose the belt to TJWilson on December 1, 2007 in a ladder match.
Anoa'i actually made his WWE television debut on November 19, 2007 at a Heat taping. Under the name Mai Tai Anoa'i, he lost to "Hacksaw" JimDuggan.
On March 20, 2008, Anoa'i was suspended by WWE for violating the company's Wellness Policy. Reportedly, he attempted to cheat on a WWE drug testthrough the aid of a prosthetic penis. He was caught and as a result, suspended. Soon after, company officials adopted a policy for all talent to drop theirpants to their ankles in front of the assigned doctor when taking a urine sample.
At last year's Unforgiven pay-per-view, Anoa'i made his debut on the full-time roster under the name "Manu". He aligned himself with CodyRhodes and Ted DiBiase, by attacking Cryme Tyme after their World Tag Team Championship match. Later that night, the three of them helped Randy Orton attackthe World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and Kofi Kingston.
Anoa'i, Jr. is a member of the legendary Anoa'i wrestling family. He is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Afa and brother of former Headshrinkers memberSamu. Umaga's mother is the sister of Afa, which explains his relation to the SmackDown star.

More on Manu getting fired.
As Ryan reported earlier, WWE has released Manu. We were told by sources a couple of weeks ago creative had nothing for him and are able to confirm he hasn't been at TVs the past couple of weeks. He was signed to a WWE developmental deal back in October 2006 and worked in Deep South Wrestling. When WWE ended their working relationship with DSW, he was transferred to Florida Championship Wrestling in Tampa.
Manu, the son of WWE Hall of Famer Afa, worked as Afa, Jr. in FCW and was suspended by WWE in March 2008 for a Wellness Policy violation. It was later revealed he was not suspended for actually failing a test but using a prosthetic penis when being tested. It was his first Wellness Policy violation.
Afa was called up to the main WWE roster late last year and was packaged as a member of Randy Orton's Legacy faction. When Ted DiBiase returned from filming The Marine 2, Manu was wrote out of the faction and scrapped from television.
One could speculate Sim Snuka could be next; however, we received an unconfirmed report that WWE actually gave Snuka a tryout as a play-by-play announcer on February 13th. I was told if WWE decides to do something with Snuka in that position, he could call WWE's new "Superstars" show on WGN.

Once again, Koslov might be terrible, but that man is so badass. From the look to the music, who would seriously want to meet this man in a street fight.
