He has heard no talk about the Charlotte rumor but added that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It was also stated that Cena has spoken up in the past when Nikki was set to lose the title but he doesn't know if Cena's done that in the last few weeks.

We noted earlier that both Team Bella and Paige lashed out on Twitter over how the fans in Brooklyn reacted during their Team PCB vs. Team Bella match on RAW last night. To counter the negative crowd reactions, WWE inserted an extra commercial into the West Coast feed of RAW last night. Right after Paige took Nikki Bella to the corner and did a shoulder block, RAW suddenly cut to a commercial. This cut out most of the "boring" chants, the wave and the "we are awesome" chants.

There's talk that both Bubba Ray and Devon have signed a multi-year deal but that hasn't been confirmed. The former tag team champions were kept at hidden at Monday's RAW and practically nobody knew they were there until they came to the "gorilla position" before going out. Top WWE officials were obviously aware of the return but at least a few others knew ahead of time as WWE had the pyro, music and new t-shirts ready. As noted, it appears The Dudleys will be facing The New Day and possibly The Prime Time Players at Night of Champions.

The sale of Stephen Amell and WWE's special charity shirt for SummerSlam ended at 11pm EST last night and they sold 15,694 shirts. The shirt has raised more than $400,000 for the Emily's House charity. Stardust noted on Twitter last week that he would personally deliver the check to Emily's House if 10,000 shirts were sold.

The Diva who got pinned was not supposed to be pinned but did not kick out. Apparently she was supposed to be saved by one of the other Divas but the person who was to save her wasn't ready. The referee, doing his job, counted the pin anyway as WWE rules call for.

2nd time this month something like that occurred in a NXT Women's match.

It's worth noting that Barrett changed his Twitter name from Wade Barrett to his real name today - Stu Bennett.
Barrett confirmed last week on Twitter that he will begin filming WWE Studios action-thriller "Eliminators" in September. He's currently on his way back to the UK as he wrote the following on Twitter:
Heading home. Not a moment too soon. ??????????????????

Former WWE Diva Kelly Kelly (Barbie Blank) is the guest on this week’s Steve Austin podcast. She was on to promote her new show on E! called “WAGS” and to talk about her background, her career in WWE, her departure from WWE and more.
She revealed that she left WWE because she was dealing with some neck issues and she also never had a chance to really enjoy regular life because she’s been on the road with WWE since she was 19 years old. She talked about getting signed by John Laurinaitis and Vince McMahon coming up with the Kelly Kelly name after watching an episode of the “Cheers” TV show.
She also noted that she will be getting married in Cabo to former NHL star Sheldon Souray and she told a story on Souray meeting Austin at a WWE show in 1999. Austin asked her about possibly returning to WWE at some point and she was open to the possibility and said that she would be open to one last run in WWE.

This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw did an average viewing audience of 3,721,333 viewers on the USA Network.
The post-SummerSlam episode of WWE’s flagship program saw viewership drop an average of (-55,334 viewers) from the week prior. Below is how the show did each hour:
Hour one – 3,606,000 viewers
Hour two – 3,794,000 viewers
Hour three – 3,764,000 viewers
That has to be a major disappointment for WWE considering everything the past three days was supposed to represent in selling out the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York for three consecutive shows. That's still an impressive feat but the fact that more viewers still aren't tuning in to the company's flagship show is troubling to say the least.
And football season is just around the corner. Speaking of, it's worth noting that this week's show was up against a pre-season game

For a quick reference, last week's show that had Taker, Cena, and Brock returning was also down compared to the prior week.
