Raw rating, Paul Heyman injury update/return to WWE TV?
Submitted by William Martinez on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 at 4:04 PM EST


• The Raw rating came in at a 3.9 (6.3 share), down from last week's 4.1. This has to be disappointing news for WWE as they had hyped the show tremendously. The 3.9 rating comes off hours of 3.5 and 4.3.
  
  
• Jim Ross appeared on the LAW radio show Sunday and stated that Paul Heyman has been out recently with a neck injury. Apparently, the injury took place before Christmas while Heyman was working the house show circuit but kept working anyway so that he could be a part of Wrestlemania. Heyman's part in Wrestlemania was supposed to consist of Brock Lesnar finally getting his hands on Heyman.
  
  When Heyman was removed as Smackdown's lead writer earlier this year, the new writing staff booked Heyman in the cage match with Lesnar to get the beatdown over with then.
  
  Currently, Heyman is working at home as a consultant for both the Raw and Smackdown brands and there have been reports that he will be coming back to the active roster this summer. Despite his on-air character returning however, his backstage role is not likely to change from his current "consultant" status.
