-- At an independent show for the IWS promotion in Montreal on Saturday night, former WWE star Joey Mercury came out in his "MNM" outfit with his old theme music playing. Before his match with Kevin Steen, he said in a promo that he'll be back in WWE at the 2009 Royal Rumble. He also teased going to be back in WWE by the end of the year at a Maryland Championship Wrestling show last month.
The word going around in WWE is that he's not scheduled to return to the company. He is simply doing this to create buzz for himself.
Mercury was released from his WWE contract on March 26, 2007 due to issues with drugs.
