— We noted earlier that last week’s edition of WWE RAW featuring the return of The Rock only drew a 3.1 cable rating with 4.65 million viewers. There was a lot of talk backstage within WWE about what that low rating meant – considering The Rock’s hyped return to confront John Cena did such a low number after they were expecting higher.
— There was talk this week of making the Money in the Bank ladder match a fixture at the SummerSlam pay-per-view, to make the event feel more special each year. There were rumors that the match and the MITB pay-per-view would be moved to July but at this point that’s not confirmed. The only thing confirmed is the July pay-per-view, whatever it may be, has been moved from Las Vegas to Phoenix.
