Queries on WWE changing ratings and Rhyno, Questions on Sting on CBN, Show's contract, WWF/E, ECW buying tables, and Heenan, WWE signing top female indie name and recent ROH performer, Impact rating, PAC update, more from Joey Ryan, TNA backstage sentiment, Dutt update, TNA to sign X-Division stars, Karen at Destination X, and the Friday Smackdown rating

First, some queries:
1. There continue to be no plans for WWE to go back to being TV-14. They like all the sponsors and deals they've gotten out of being family-friendly.

2. As far as I know, there are no plans for Rhyno to come back to WWE. The company just added him to the website like a lot of former talent.

For my take on PWInsider.com's questions:
1. I'd only have an issue with it if he did it without WCW's permission, since it was their character he was portraying. Other than that, it's not much different from wrestlers appearing at political events during Smackdown Your Vote.

2. It's just a gimmick. I haven't seen anything about him signing any new, special contract.

Everything else is after the break.

3. Yes. Come on, now. It might just be out of habit, but it seems kind of silly to refer to the company like that when talking about a time that has nothing to do with the WWF days.

4. It's not like ECW was known for knowing how to use their money. The fans wanted tables, so they pretty much needed to buy some.

5. I haven't seen his name specifically thrown out. It wouldn't hurt to have another legend appearance.

WWE is in the process of signing Sara Del Rey, of Shimmer/Chikara/ROH fame. She's undergoing standard medical testing. I've heard good things about her, so I look forward to hopefully seeing her on the big stage. Maybe the Divas division will go back to being about wrestling?

In other indie news, Matt Taven is also in the process of signing on to WWE. He recently had a dark match at FCW.

The most recent Impact did a 0.99. Maybe it was time for a new World Champion after all.

PAC is expected to re-locate to Florida soon, likely meaning he'll start out in FCW. He's been sold as an amazing high-flyer. We'll see.

Joey Ryan continued his anti-TNA crusade despite Hogan claiming that he's under TNA contract. Way to blow the angle, Hulk.

The mood backstage at TNA is pretty high after Destination X, especially for the Styles/Daniels and Aries/Roode matches. If you like people going all out in matches, last night's show had plenty of hard work.

Sonjay Dutt's shoulder was dislocated. Earlier it wasn't known if it was that or his elbow.

TNA wanted to book AAA names for Destination X, but AAA has an exclusive contract with Lucha Libre USA as far as their talents appearing in the U.S.

Several X-Division stars from Destination X will be coming in shortly. Kenny King is a lock.

Karen Jarrett was backstage at Destination X after missing Slammiversary. Where the heck is Jeff?

In a replay of the 7/3 Smackdown, Friday's airing did a 1.47.

More news tomorrow.
