— The latest word is that WWE is hoping to get Shaquille O’Neal to appear on the August 31 edition of RAW. Sources close to Shaq, however, say it is far from a done deal as the NBA great is concerned that working the wrestling event might distract from his focus on promoting “Shaq Vs.” and the upcoming NBA season. Nonetheless, WWE is firmly committed to making it happen.
With LeBron James scheduled to host a future edition of WWE RAW, it would make sense to book the two teammates together on the show, although nothing–be it a Shaq vs. Big Show encounter or LeBron’s hosting date–is confirmed at press time.
— Undertaker is expected to feud with CM Punk upon returning.
— Regarding Summerslam, odds appear against US Champion Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz making the show. There is also said to be virtually no chance of both women’s belts being defended on the show; some are even saying there will not be any standard one-on-one women’s championship bout.
Presently without a match on the show, John Morrison is under creative consideration for a notable involvement in the CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy main event.
