- Jim Ross posted the following follow-up after he commented on being removed from RAW’s intro last night: “No worries about being edited out of WWE signature open. I’m proud of my work & it was time 2 update the open. Let’s face it, times change.”
- As seen last week, WWE teased that the guest host might be Stone Cold Steve Austin by having some of the emails include Austin catchphrases.For those of you who didn't notice it this week, WWE teased "Rowdy" Roddy Piper as the possible host when the email read,"Just when you think you have the answers, I change the questions." Piper made this line famous when he said it to Frank Williams on The Piper's Pit.
- WWE had offered Paul Giamatti a lead role in the WWE Studios film Chasing the Hawk , which will star Edge. Giamatti turned down the role, which was to star opposite of Edge. In the movie, Edge plays a lawyer who is hunting for his stolen car.
- There is talk of featuring second generation wrestler Richie Steamboat, the son of WWE Hall of Famer and backstage agent Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat on the third season of WWE NXT, if they decide to go through a third season, pending a possible TV deal to continue the show. Richie recently returned from injury at WWE’s FCW.
- WWE will tape tonight’s NXT and this week’s SmackDown at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky tonight. An appearance by Nexus is confirmed for tonight’s NXT.For what it’s worth, an updated flyer released yesterday for tonight’s show advertises Nexus on SmackDown with the line,“Nexus Invades SmackDown.” This could just be a generic teaser for Nexus appearing at the tapings.
