Steiner not likely to appear on Raw tonight, Update on the Rock's new movie Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Monday, October 28, 2002 at 6:34 PM EST
Despite the fact that Scott Steiner signed with the WWE, it is doubtful that "Big Poppa Pump" will show up on tonight's episode of Raw, even though they are in Detroit. It is believed that Steiner will most likely be a free agent that both Raw and Smackdown will start a bidding war over much like Steve Austin was at the beginning of the roster split. It is believed that Steiner will end up on Raw but if he doesn't show up tonight, they could start talking about the fact that he's signed starting tonight on Raw or Thursday on Smackdown.

In another Steiner related note, Andrew McManus of the WWA has confirmed that despite Steiner signing a "long-term contract" with World Wrestling Entertainment, he will still be on the WWA European tour along with other former WCW stars such as Sting, Lex Luger, and Buff Bagwell. McManus was quoted as saying:
"I am aware that the WWE has been interested in Scott Steiner for some time and lets be honest, why wouldn't they? He is top talent and probably what they need to improve their overall ratings, but I do know that nothing is 100% as yet and that Scott will definitely be on our upcoming UK and European tour this coming November/December."
The Rock's new movie, which was orginally titled Helldorado, has been given a release date of September 26th, 2003.
