Word has it that Edge and Chris Benoit will be headlining next month's RAW pay-per-view, SummerSlam. But with nothing showing any evidence of that happening on TV, there is a chance that the main event will change. It appears as WWE will build a program to have Triple H challenge Chris Benoit for the World championship at SummerSlam.

As mentioned yesterday, the plan is to have Shawn Michaels take a couple months off to spend with his wife and soon to be born child. From what we're told, it seems as the angle that took place on Monday between Kane and HBK, will be the cause for Michaels' absence.

Rumors have circulated through other news outlets that Rikishi has been let go by WWE. All we can say is that as of today, the big man is still employed by WWE.
