- Its a crazy busy weekend for us ahead of Summerslam tomorrow night, largely due to the start of the Premier League season, which is why we didn’t get a news update posted on Friday. If you’re not a football (soccer) fan, you likely couldn’t care less. If you are, head over to OddsPreview.com for all the latest news, results and tons more as it happens.

We’ll have a PPV preview up on the site on Sunday afternoon at some point, as well as a pre-PPV news update later in the day. Then from 8pm EST/1am UK time, we’ll have live Summerslam coverage on the front page of the site.

The announced card for tomorrow night in full is:

- The Undertaker vs. Edge in a Hell in a Cell match
- John Cena vs. Batista
- Triple H vs. The Great Khali for the WWE Title
- CM Punk vs. JBL for the World Heavyweight Title
- Mark Henry vs. Matt Hardy for the ECW Title
- Jeff Hardy vs. MVP
- Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston & Women’s Champion Mickie James vs. Santino Marella & Beth Phoenix with the winner holding both belts.

Shawn Michaels will also make an announcement regarding his future in wrestling. I’m of the impression that will lead to a Michaels-Jericho match at next month’s Unforgiven PPV, but who knows.

On paper, it looks like a decent enough card. The two main title matches will likely be relegated to a midcard position and without question Hell in a Cell closes the show, and rightfully so. We’ll have tons more on Summerslam throughout Sunday.

- Raw, Smackdown and ECW are in Valparaiso, Indiana tonight for a house show which will almost certainly serve as a warm-up for some of tomorrow night’s matches.

- As Mark Bright noted in his Smackdown TV report, the ending of last night’s show here in the UK was edited, and Edge’s promo wasn’t shown. That’s nothing something new to UK fans, although I do think that when a show goes out at 10pm and is key to building a PPV (which is also a PPV in the UK) that its a pretty dumb decision.

On occasion, I can understand the need to edit - especially as Sky are obviously keen not to focus on anything that can be interpreted as male-on-female violence. And both WWE and Sky themselves have both been guilty in the past of making unnecessary edits. But on a 10pm show, I think its safe to assume the vast majority of the viewing audience know exactly what they’re expecting from a WWE show.

- Joey Styles has commented on Stevie Richards’ release from WWE at this link.

- Thanks to Suzie and all others who sent word of an interview Batista conducted with NineMSN in which he commented on how the WWE roster is still rocked by the Chris Benoit murders. Batista said: “A lot of us are kind of in denial because we don’t associate the Chris Benoit we knew and loved with the Chris Benoit who did that horrible thing.”

- On the subject of Benoit, we posted our third weekly Roundtable feature last night at this link, looking at whether or not Benoit should be removed from the Wrestling Observer’s Hall of Fame.

- Scotland’s Daily Record has an interview with Randy Orton online at this link to promote both Summerslam and the next European Tour later in the year. The interview also looks at Orton being dishonourably discharged from the Marines prior to turning his attention to wrestling.

“I didn’t know what I was gonna do with my life, at first I tried the military, that didn’t go too well, so I asked my dad if he could call Vince McMahon and get me a job,” Orton was quoted as saying.

“It was really just out of desperation but it turned out I loved it and I was a natural at it, I got on TV a year and a half after I started training, took off from there.

“At first I felt the pressure (of the family name) but very quickly it dissipated because I did well and the stats show I surpassed my father in terms of ring stats and titles, so I was never really in the shadow of it.

“I pretty much learned things on-the-job and through practice and training, I was under the wing of people like Ric Flair and Triple H.

” learned a lot, and moulded my character into what it is now, figuring out what works, what doesn’t, and I got a handle on how to make the crowd despise me.”

- Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at his official website. On this week’s roster cuts which has seen over a dozen talents released by WWE, Ross wrote: “Another tough week for some WWE talents who got news that they were being released. I know that there are some really good human beings who will be soon looking for work and I sincerely hope that none of them stop chasing their dreams. Perhaps the cuts of the past two weeks indicate that several of the young talents from Florida Championship Wrestling are on the verge of being called up.”
