- It's worth noting that the official Syfy website lists Edge, as well as The Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool, as appearing on Friday Night SmackDown when the program debuts on the network this October. Regarding Edge, he was originally supposed to remain on SmackDown! before WWE's mentality during the Draft changed to making the RAW brand the company's top priority. A renewed push for the Smackdown brand is expected this fall given that Vince McMahon has predicted with its move to Syfy that the audience for SmackDown! will eventually be as large as RAW's.

Steve Mingo sent this report of Sheamus' appearance on the radio yesterday in the UK. ... There's a " listen again" feature, along with some photos, on the Radio 1 website at bbc.co.uk/radio1. Sheamus plugged Summerslam and his title defense against Randy Orton
. He wasn't totally in character but did mention it felt good to be WWE Champion to know you're "the best in the world at what you do". He used those words exactly. He spoke a bit about his background working smaller promotions in the UK and then was asked about the Rock. He was asked if he could beat the Rock in a match. Sheamus commented on how the Rock's a mess now, doing films such as the Tooth Fairy that anybody could beat him. It was in a joking manner. He was then asked if Sheamus now could beat the Rock of his prime in the 90's and Sheamus said, "Absolutely."

The WWE Smackdown taping on October 12th, 2010 will be held at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon. Tickets go on sale August 21st, 2010.
