WWE Notes On SmackDown!, Mysterio, Cena, RVD, & More

SmackDown will be preempted next Friday in New York due to Yankees baseball. The show will also be preempted in Los Angeles. We hope to keep everyone posted about the preemptions for SmackDown.

A new "Five Questions" segment with John Cena is up at WWE.com.
