Cena/WWE, Punk's Friend & Sister At RAW, Taped RAW Next Week

WickedLocal.com has an article up looking at Walter "Killer" Kowalski's current health after suffering a massive heart attack on August 8. The article notes Kowalski's family decided to take the wrestler off life support on August 18.

WWE spokeswoman Jennifer McIntosh tells The Stamford Advocate that John Cena isn't bigger than WWE, and the company will continue to roll on. "There are on occasion planned and unplanned hiatus periods," she said. "For instance, while John Cena was filming the upcoming feature '12 Rounds,' he was out for three months and business was excellent. As much as he is appreciated, no single individual makes the WWE.

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk mentioned to The Peoria Journal Star in a new interview that his best friend and little sister were in the front row when RAW was in his hometown of Chicago a few weeks back. Punk will be defending his belt against Batista in the main event of a WWE live event this Saturday night in Peoria, IL.

Next week's Raw and Smackdown TV tapings will be held this Sunday in St. Louis, MO due to the Labor Day holiday. ECW for next week was already taped this past Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

WWE will probably have to edit R-Truth's debut on SmackDown this week because of "TNA" and "We Want Angle" chants during the match which really didn't get much other reaction from the crowd. Truth ended up selling a lot of Kenny Dykstra's moves and Vince McMahon got pissed off because he wanted Killings to look like a top star and sell nothing for Dykstra. Mis-communication backstage had the agents tell Killings to work a standard babyface match, sell big and then do a comeback for the win.
