Speaking of John Cena, his feud with Ryback is now over and the plan, as of this weekend, was still to run with Cena vs. Daniel Bryan on top at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. It’s possible we’ll see the beginning of that feud tonight on RAW. If not tonight, it’ll begin next week.
— According to several backstage WWE sources, Chris Jericho suffered some sort of knee injury at last week’s WWE SmackDown tapings. The injury occurred during a match with Curtis Axel.

There is fear that he may have suffered a torn meniscus but we don’t have that confirmed as of this writing.
