RAW TO CHANGE BACK TO 2 HOURS SHOW?
The three-hour RAW shows are said to be taking a toll on the WWE crew and they've become a dreaded event every week. The feeling is that RAW will stay three-hours at least through SummerSlam.

NEWS ON WWE'S CABLE NETWORK
As noted the other day, WWE sent out a survey to fans seeking interest on potential new programming for the WWE Network, including moving pay-per-views to the channel. Here is the exact text from the survey, which provides a bit more insight into what might come of the network:
“Imagine a 24-hour cable network that was run by The WWE. It featured a mix of WWE-made programs, including new shows, repeats of Raw and SmackDown from USA and Syfy and “classic” or “historical” programs featuring shows from different promotions like classic WWE footage, WCW, ECW, NWA, AWA, etc. from years past.
It would have two new weekly WWE live in-ring shows (wrestling), but not SmackDown or Raw.
It would have a daily live in-studio viewer interactive show similar to SportsCenter.
Additionally, this network would include WWE’s “classic big 4″ pay-per-view events including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and Royal Rumble to the lineup at no additional cost. Rather than having to pay for them, they would now be specials with the same match quality you’re used to seeing on pay-per-view for no additional cost. These 4 events would only be available on The WWE Network.
In addition to The WWE Network, you would receive approximately 30 additional channels including NFL Network, NBA TV, Biography Channel, Fox Business Network and Fuel TV.
How interested would you be in upgrading your service for an additional $7-$12 per month to a tier which would include the WWE Network described above?"

UPDATE ON MARK HENRY VS SHEAMUS
Local independent wrestlers from the Pro Wrestling Guerilla promotion were sitting at ringside last night during the spot where Mark Henry and Sheamus crashed through the barrier and into the crowd. WWE used the wrestlers there as extras to prevent fans from getting hurt.
- WWE posted a backstage video of Sheamus after his loss to Mark Henry at SummerSlam. Sheamus warned Henry that their rivalry was far from over.
RANDY ORTON VS CHRISTIAN FINAL ENCOUNTER AT NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS
Randy Orton became a three-time World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Christian at last night's SummerSlam pay-per-view. WWE had been going with the idea of another Orton vs. Christian match at September's Night of Champions pay-per-view but last night's match was billed as their "final encounter" on the SummerSlam pre-show.
ALBERTO DEL RIO TO RETIRE AFTER 5 YEARS?
New WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio spoke with Mexican news agency Notimex last week and told them that he is looking to retire from in-ring competition in five years. Del Rio added that he wants to work a limited farewell tour and finish up with a retirement match in his home of San Luis Potosi.
The translation from Spanish to English is rough but here are some quotes from the Del Rio interview:
"I already decided. I want to retire in five years and will make a farewell tour but not as many who do 250 fights. Seek a dignified farewell to a fight in San Luis Potosi, my native land and in the Arena Mexico, my home."
"I decided to go full power and thus having managed to be the best Mexican fighter in this difficult race. I'm tired because it takes great dedication and sacrifice but also left me enormous satisfaction."
"To where I have arrived I have taken fully the name of my dynasty and know that my family is proud than I have done, so when the moment arrives for hanging the boots I will continue enjoying the place that I deserved myself."
WHY MIZ VS REY MYSTERIO CHANGED TO SIX MAN TAG MATCH
Up until yesterday afternoon, Rey Mysterio was scheduled to face The Miz in singles action at SummerSlam. The decision was made to put them both in the six-man match with Alberto Del Rio, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston and John Morrison because they want to risk Rey doing further damage to his knee in a singles match. Rey is scheduled to face Del Rio for the WWE Title on tonight's RAW.
