— The guest host for the 6/28 RAW taping in Philadelphia, PA will be rocker/director Rob Zombie. WWE had briefly announced Khloe Kardashian as the guest host that night but she wasn’t 100% confirmed, so WWE quickly removed the announcement and went with Zombie. We were the first to report last month that Rob Zombie was going to be hosting RAW in the near future.

— Half Pint Brawlers did a 0.7 cable rating with 837,000 viewers Wednesday night, a very good rating for the 11PM ET timeslot that it aired in. The replay that followed did a 0.5 rating with 598,000 viewers. Those are really good numbers to be honest.

— USA dropped to third place in the cable primetime ratings this week with a 2.2, with the NBA Playoffs putting ESPN (2.4) and TNT (2.3) on top of the average ratings. SyFy (16) and Spike (19) both had a 0.7 average. RAW did not make the top 10 in the 18-34 age group due to the playoffs, The Hills and Family Guy. It ranked 8 and 9 in the 18-49 age group.

— An interview with The Miz to promote Monday’s three-hour RAW is available at http://www.miamiherald.com/ He also discusses Quinton Jackson in The A-Team and how he would fare in a match with Rampage.
