Backstage Rumor At RAW, Mr. Kennedy, No Mercy, SD! Spoiler, More
Our old friend Robert Pasbani sent the following: I run a music site called Metal Injection and we recently interviewed the band Airbourne, who wrote Kennedy's theme. Being the mark that I am, I asked them what the process was like (they said they got the basic song structure and lyrics from WWE but rearranged a bunch of it), as well as their thoughts on Kennedy, as well as some of their favorite wrestlers from the past. It was a fun interview. You can check it out at https://www.metalinjection.net.
The WWE No Mercy pay-per-view in Portland, Oregon this coming Sunday night is almost sold out.
It looks like Victoria Crawford, known to SmackDown fans as Vickie Guerrero and Edge's wedding planner Alicia Fox, may be returning to WWE's SmackDown brand here soon. Alicia has been missing from TV for a few months and hasn't appeared on any WWE developmental shows in Tampa until this past Thursday night when she teamed with Jack Gabriel to defeat ECW Diva Tiffany and Scotty Goldman. Alicia was pulled from the SmackDown opening video a few weeks back but is still scheduled to be in an upcoming set of WWE trading cards. I guess it's likely that she can make her return when Edge is brought back. Furthermore, Reader Amber passed along the following: I was just watching MyNetworkTV and they showed a promo for WWE coming and it featured the SmackDown Divas. It included Michelle McCool, Maria, Maryse, Eve Torres and Alicia Fox, Edge and Vickie's wedding planner from a few months back. Just thought I'd pass this along because I haven't seen Alicia on TV since the end of the angle and Victoria & Natalya are a big part of SmackDown but were not featured.
There's a rumor going around at RAW today that there will be some kind of eight-man main event on tonight's show. Stay tuned throughout the day as we will keep you updated on anything else we hear or WWE announces.
