• Ross admitted that King of the Ring was a disappointing show.
  
  
• As advertised on Smackdown, The Rock will make his official WWE return on the July 11th Smackdown, which will be taped on July 9th.
  
  
• Ross hinted that we will be seeing trades between Raw and Smackdown now that Vince McMahon owns both sides.
  
  
• There are no plans to scrap the split.
  
  
• Tomorrow night's house show in New York City should be a sellout or close to it.
  
  
• Chris Benoit will be getting his medical release today which means that he can return to the ring but he must avoid certain things like getting dropped on his head.
  
  
• Ross wished Bret Hart a speedy recovery after the stroke he suffered this week.
  
  
• Expect The Hardy Boyz to become singles stars, as was hinted on Raw.

• Tough Enough 3 will begin in July but the exact date is currently unknown (due to the Kelsey Grammar story).
