- It appears Santino Marella hasn't been suspended by WWE. After appearing on RAW this past week, he wrestled last night at the RAW show in Durban, South Africa against Val Venis, getting the win. Santino was on the original list of names tied to Signature Pharmacy.

Also on the show, Jeff Hardy retained the Intercontinental title against Randy Orton via DQ when Orton didn't provide a clean break before the referee's 5 count. New Tag Team champions London and Kendrick retained their titles against Cade and Murdoch and John Cena retained his title in a match with Carlito. Reports from the show say some of the matches were a huge disappointment and the whole show ran under 2 hours.

- WWE SummerSlam this year was a sellout crowd with 17,441 fans announced to be in attendance with more than a $1 million gate. RAW the next night from Boston also was sold out with more than 13,000 fans in attendance.
