WWE hall of famer Jerry "The King" Lawler worked some Carolinas indie shows last weekend as part of Dukefest, a festival for fans of "The Dukes of Hazzard." The original plans for Summerslam have changed with the inclusion of the WWE vs. Jackass angle, and the knee injury suffered by Shawn Michaels. The card was to feature Rated RKO vs. DX or Triple H vs. either Edge or Orton, which at this point, looks to be Triple H vs. Randy Orton, which explains Orton's recent push. Another match originally planned for the 8/26 Summerslam had Vince McMahon against Rey Mysterio Jr. The idea for a McMahon-Mysterio match hasn't been dropped entirely, but obviously they aren't currently heading in that direction.
