Jeff Hardy Booked After Summerslam, Legend To Appear?, John Cena News
– WWE.com is advertising a Jeff Hardy appearance for Tuesday, noting that fans can meet “Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Big Show, John Morrison, Eve and Layla” at Coldstone Creamery in Scottsdale, Arizona this Tuesday from 11:30am-1pm. Jimmy Hart, Tony Atlas and Sgt. Slaughter appear from 1-3pm.
This should not be taken as evidence that Hardy has decided to stay with WWE for the long term; though WWE may not book him for the show, the plan was for Hardy to remain available through this coming week’s SmackDown! taping (Tuesday).
– Roddy Piper has been doing local Los Angeles publicity for the Summerslam event; he appeared at the previously-reported kickoff party on Friday. A PWInsider.com report started speculation that Piper might appear on the Summerslam pay-per-view, but nothing was confirmed at press time.
– In an interview with Joe McDonnell and Bob Berger, John Cena put over Sunday’s pay-per-view as a “junior version of Wrestlemania” with “a truly star-studded card.” He also discussed his “legitimate” dislike for opponent Randy Orton. (Source: F4WOnline.com)
