— In an interview with Express Night Out, Kofi Kingston reflects on jumping the gun regarding a possible match on the WWE Summerslam pay-per-view.
“I think I got ahead of myself and got excited. the card is always subjected to change; you never know what’s going to happen,” said Kingston. Recently, Kingston made waves for Twittering about getting new tights for Summerslam; his statement implied that he was booked to wrestle on the card.
Kingston later retracted, explaining, “I always have a pair of trunks for every single pay-per-view regardless if I ‘m on it or not.”
Booked to do a live WWE.com chat prior to Summerslam, Kingston noted that he still hopes to appear (but did not appear optimistic, noting his new trunks would probably be used at Bragging Rights or Hell in a Cell): “As of now, I’m not on the card, but hopefully I will be.”
— The Wrestling Observer Newsletter repudiates prior reports on The Rock’s interest in guest hosting RAW, noting that while the actor-turned-wrestler has not been seriously approached for the role, he would likely do it if the timing were right.
— Not currently booked for house shows in September, Shawn Michaels’ upcoming road schedule with WWE appears to be light.
