Those names have not been confirmed but there's been speculation on WWE possibly announcing The Dudleys in the next few weeks, perhaps at the RAW 25th Anniversary as where they will be appearing live.

Spoiler tags used since its related to this year's WWE Hall of Fame class.

New Japan will have English language announced for both ROH shows on 2/23 and 2/24 from Korakuen Hall, as well as for next weekend's two shows in Sapporo. Nothing from Australia is currently listed as on the service.

Actual contracts even include language of up to one-year non-competes in not only pro wrestling, but MMA as well.

Jordan was held off last week's tapings with an injury that has yet to be confirmed. He was at Raw this past Monday but not involved in any physical contact with other WWE talents beyond tripping Finn Balor during Balor vs. Seth Rollins.

Jordan is scheduled to be at Monday's Raw taping.

WWE has also been planning a similar DVD on WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. The synopsis for "Randy Savage Unreleased: The Unseen Matches of The Macho Man" reads like this:

The Macho Man has had legendary bouts with Hulk Hogan, Rick Rude, Ricky Steamboat, Jake Roberts, and many others. The WWE Universe may be familiar with many of them, but there were several excellent matches that have never made it to DVD. Now fans can own some of the Macho Man's greatest matches that have never been released on WWE Home Video before.
