Miz has come back from his filming with a slightly different look and a better attitude, he got a big crowd reaction as well on his return IIRC.

Barrett should be back soon, been getting big reactions from crowds in house shows according to reports.

Surprised that WWE skated very close to acknowledging that Chris Benoit actually existed in the Summerslam intro as they showed Orton's first World Title win which happened against Benoit at Summerslam.

In this day and age, where significant chunks of Raw are blighted with social media references, does WWE really expect 'The Universe' to believe that Brock Lesnar is leaving again?

Tyler Reks has been granted his release, after he realised that he wanted to be a proper dad to his kids. He & Hawkins were just starting to get a push as well.

Undertaker and Michelle McCool have had their first child.

And CM Punk has been accused of blading during his match with Jerry Lawler, which is a big no no backstage at WWE. But there seems to have been no fall out from it which suggests that Punk either has a lot of pull backstage or was able to argue the merits of his actions

For a company that used Blading almost weekly for a very long time I wouldn't give to shiny ones about their current views just because Mrs McMohan is going to fail at running for senate again.

Blood has been off WWE programming for quite some time, except in very rare occasions. And so now, when it does show it, there's more of a shock value to it.

It will have been a work.

I really can't see Charles Robinson getting fined $500K and Punk just paying it off for him.
