WWE Hall Of Fame inductee Roddy Piper will be on this Sunday's MTV's "Super Sweet 16" for the first time at 12 noon.

[Thanks to reader Kristian H?gglund] WWE Cuts Raw Draft Episode in Finland. In Finland WWE is shown with a 3 week delay and in a 45 min format. So yesterday, I watched the Raw Draft episode, and noticed that the Benoit vs. Lashley match was cut out and they jumped to a women's match. They did however leave a J.R comment saying that Benoit had been drafted along with The Boogeyman to ECW. It's got to be because of the Benoit tragedy because they never show the Women's matches on television here, and you don't just skip a match with one Main eventer and one Mid carder (who happens to be dead along with his wife and son)

Johnny Nitro vs. CM Punk for the ECW Championship, has been added to the July 22nd WWE Great American Bash PPV. It was announced on Monday's RAW that John Cena will be defending his WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley at the PPV. Expect more matches to be announced on this week's SmackDown.

At this past Monday's WWE Supershow, World Wrestling Entertainment conducted a meeting with talent before the show. WWE provided counsellors if anyone wanted to speak to one.
