According to WWE sources, Lesnar will be back on television before then to hype his match with Triple H at the pay-per-view – with some people expecting him to appear at the 1,000th RAW celebration on July 23rd.
– Speaking of the 1,000th RAW show, former WWE superstar Goldust (Dustin Rhodes) says he won’t be there.
– WWE announced on RAW last week that a legend would be competing on RAW each week. Vader was the first surprise legend and by all accounts, had a solid match with Heath Slater. On this week’s show, there was no returning legend in action, despite appearances from Mick Foley and Roddy Piper.
WWE has reportedly abandoned the storyline of a legend wrestling on RAW each week. Instead, a former General Manager will be brought in each week to host RAW and SmackDown. Mick Foley is this week’s host and Vickie Guerrero has been confirmed for next week.
