Callers Pre-Screened Before RAW?, Mysterio Return Update Inside
WWE is advertising an Edge vs. Rey Mysterio match for the July 15th Smackdown taping in Charlotte, NC. The match will likely be the dark main event.
Mysterio is being advertised for several shows now which seems to indicate that his return is imminent.
The winner of the $51,988 on RAW this past Monday was called shortly after RAW started and told to stand by incase Vince McMahon called him. This indicates that WWE pre-screens callers to make sure they are home and that they are watching RAW.
Most in WWE were very surprised that the RAW rating decreased this week.
The two hours of RAW on 5/19 were two of the most time-shifted (DVRed) programs of the week. Hour one was shifted by 7.8% and hour two was shifted by 6.6%. This increased the final RAW rating that week from a 3.2 to a 3.4.
