Jeff Hardy is on the cover of the latest issue of WWE Magazine and they're teasing a possible title run. Like a spy, he's hanging by a rope from the ceiling over the WWE Title enclosed in glass. The headline reads "Black Ops Exclusive! Mission: Possible - Jeff Hardy's Covert Strike To Seize Gold...Exposed!". You can see the cover at this link. The magazine also features an apparently controversial interview with Randy Orton that they "almost didn't print."

This is the set design they are going to be using for Mania in Orlando. Without a roof, a rig will be built around the stadium for lighting. Two giant screens will be featured above the ring on the lighting rig. Also according to WWE Magazine, the amount of pyrotechnics used will be ten times that of the amount used on Raw. The ring itself will be built on the 50-yard line of the Citrus Bowl to give the best view for fans

From PRO WRESTLING INSIDER:

So before Chris Jericho even debuts, I got my hands on the WWE magazine with him on the cover and interview inside. Some interesting notes from the short interview:

*Chris left in 2005 b/c he was burned out and needed to spend more time with his family.

*He and his wife had twin daughters in July 2006.

*The Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena one hour match from England, made Chris really love the business again.

*Jericho wants to work with John Cena, Shawn Michaels, HHH, The Undertaker (whom he's never had a one-on-one match with), Ken. Kennedy, and MVP.

*Jericho went to Lance Storm's wrestling school and started from scratch with his students in order to get back in ring shape.

*Jericho has been working with a personal trainer to get in good physical shape, something he has never done before.

*Jericho says he has a new finisher and some new moves to show off.

*Jericho says it took him 18 months to write his book. Mick Foley really helped him along the way with his book.
