Rumors are circulating that Hogan may get paired with World Heavyweight Champion John Cena in a tag-team match at Wrestlemania, with Cena telling the gossip Web site that he grew up a huge Hogan fan and would love to team up with the wrestling icon but that, "I certainly wouldn't want to put him in a position he's not physically capable of. We operate at a high level of speed in the WWE nowadays."

Goldberg said he would love to return so his son can see him "on a big stage" but would only do it if the price is right, saying the "ball is in their court."

Ryback, who is a rumored possible opponent for the former WCW Heavyweight Champion, told Boston's CBS affiliate that he respects Goldberg and would like to go against him at Wrestlemania. "I have a great amount of respect for Bill Goldberg, but I'm not going to beat around the bush and say I wanna be best friends with the guy," said Ryback. "I'd like to face him in the ring. I've heard him say he's not happy with comments I've made about him, if he has a problem with it let's settle it at Wrestlemania."

Merriman told the Baltimore Sun that it was not a training session and that he was "messing around a little bit." Merriman told the newspaper that, "I wanted to see their new facilities in Orlando, and it was something I dreamed about doing as a kid. So, when I actually got a chance to see the guys train, I just jumped in the ring and kind of had some fun."
