Which former WWE Diva will be returning to television this weekend? What former WWE Champion just signed a contract to be in TNA? Who will Brock Lesnar be facing in his next UFC match? How can you eat dinner with famous wrestlers?

Stacy Keibler Returns to TV
Former WWE Diva and Dancing With the Stars contestant Stacy Keibler, will be returning to TV this weekend. She will be appearing in the three-part miniseries Samurai Girl, which will be on ABC Family this weekend. Check out my wrestling TV schedule for more information.
