Just because he said later this year doesn't mean he meant in 6 months, he just meant he will be returning sometime this year, it could be anywhere from 1 week to 6 months, I think it might be a few months.
I will miss him, because he is my favorite wrestler, but he is taking a well-deserved break, he has definately earned it.
He is busy training a woman in FCW to become a diva and taking a break and when he returns which should be soon I expect they will have a "on camera" relationship
