The plan to reunite M'N'M on the RAW brand has been scrapped, due to the masked member of the Straight-Edge Society being revealed as Joey Mercury. The plan going forward for John Morrison and Melina however, would be for them to reunite soon to fued with Ted DiBiase and Maryse.
The word backstage is that Triple H's recent surgery was performed on his bicep and that the injury would take roughly 2 to 4 months to fully heal. The current belief is that it could be as late as December before he is healthy enough to return, with late October being optimistic. He is still being considered for a heel turn and alignment with Nexus, although if it were to happen, they would need to drag the angle out for at least a few more months.
The word going around is that Kane’s recent World Heavyweight Championship victory was booked, in part, due to the belief that he will be retiring in the near future. While the "near future" can mean a long time, especially in the world of wrestling, this was definitely meant to be a commemorative "last run on top" for the veteran big man. Whether the informal talks of retirement will turn into anything serious remain to be seen, as backstage retirement talk for many wrestlers, including Kane’s close storyline companion Undertaker, often leads to nothing when push comes to shove.
It appears WWE are building towards a program between Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston over the Intercontinental Title in the coming weeks. There was an angle and match that took place between the two at this week's TV tapings, which could be leading to a match at SummerSlam.
