As many of you know, Kane is expected to return during the next several weeks. WWE has been hyping a return in the very near future with constant interruptions on both RAW and SmackDown! during in-ring segments. In somewhat of a surprising story, WWE has added Kane's new T-Shirt "The Big Freakin' Machine" on it's WWE Shopzone website. The interesting this is - his new mask that he will wear upon returning is displayed on the back!

WWE will be having a SmackDown! brand house show in Billings, Montana on September 14th. At this point, Kane is advertised to work this house show in a match against Kurt Angle. This could mean a number of things. One, it could be a way for WWE to throw off people who pay attention to things of this nature expecting Kane to be on SmackDown!, but ending up on RAW. Two, it could mean he is working the house show (which is a Saturday show) just to help live attendance and debut on RAW the following Monday. Three, it could mean the obvious - Kane will be part of the SmackDown! crew. There is always the possibility that Kane will return before then, which seems to be the most logical option as that particular house show is nearly a month away and WWE has already kicked promotion to Kane's return in high-gear the past two weeks.

As if it wasn't already confirmed, during RAW they had a local commercial of Superstars to be at the Soiux Falls Arena for the house show on Sept 6th. In the commercial it featured Brock Lesnar to be there, and it is a RAW house show. A possible giveaway. To further the SummerSlam rumors, one day last week on Jay Leno, Sean William Scott (Stifler from American Pie) said he was getting ready to film a movie with The Rock and that production begins in three weeks, which would leave no time for double duty by The Rock. Brock Lesnar wrestles every single SmackDown house show except the night after SummerSlam, the same night of RAW there is a SmackDown house show. He is not going to appear on it as the house show card link is here - http://www.wwe.com/media/2002/08/26/1161162. This is weird because he is at every SmackDown show, but the night of a RAW televised event he is not. If he wins the belt he will be at both RAW and SmackDown TV events which kind of proves he will win the strap.

Kurt Angle called in the Howard Stern show and only talked for about 2 minutes. They mostly talked about Kurt's Olympic carrer and how he could kick anyone's ace in the WWE. Then Robin said she read in the paper that SmackDown is getting low ratings. Howard said then yes, they must be considering they called me for help.

On Akadot.com today, (They basically do news on Japanese animation.)there's a couple of mentions of Mick Foley and Vince McMahon. Mick Foley apparently is voicing for the main villain in a new animated featured coming out on cartoon network. http://www.akadot.com/article/article-lowbrow1-01.html - The creator of Trigun (a popular anime title) speaks on his fandom for WWE. His favorite person is Vince McMahon. If Trigun ever becomes and live action movie he'd want Brock Lesner to be in it.

Get ready to experience the action and excitement of World Wrestling Entertainment LIVE in England and Northern Ireland! First, the "Road to Rebellion" show will arrive at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast on Friday, October 25. Manchester will host "Rebellion" on Saturday, October 26 at the Evening News Arena. And don't miss "Rebellion Aftermath" the next day, Sunday, October 27 at the Sheffield Arena. WWE SmackDown! Superstars scheduled to appear include Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Rikishi, Matt Hardy, Torrie Wilson, Rey Mysterio and more(card is subject to change)! Tickets for all shows will be going on sale on Saturday, August 31. Stay tuned for more details! Obviously there will be no sign of the Rock, hinting more that Brock will be champ. This leaves Kut Angle and Edge as the next two top stars. So this could mean that one or both of the two are in line to fued with Brock, in Edge's case this would mean a major push.

A Sikh professional grappler is pile-driving wrestling impresario Vince McMahon's company with accusations of religious and ethnic harassment.
Gurjit Singh Hans - whose ring name is Tiger Ali Singh - claims his turban, which is sacred in the Sikh religion, was swiped in 1999 from a locker and desecrated by World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. workers. He says they stuffed it with cigarette butts and garbage, and called the Indian-descended wrestler a "taxi driver." "Another turban belonging to Gurjit Singh Hans was torn into pieces backstage and placed on the head of a mentally disturbed person for the ‘amusement' of the WWE personnel present," Hans, 31, claims in a legal filing. The Ontario, Canada, resident says the harassment coincided and escalated with WWE efforts to get out of its contract with him. The conduct included WWE demands that he wear his turban as a "gimmick" during matches, and make pre-match speeches that "referenced persons of Indian descent as likely being perceived as taxi driver and convenience-store operators," his filing says. He also claims he suffered a career-ending injury last December when he was forced to perform in an outdoor tag-team match in pouring rain. Hans' lawyer Bruce Ewing said the McMahon-controlled WWE acted in an "appalling" manner toward Hans, who has asked an arbitration panel for a ruling against the company. Hans is seeking $7 million from WWE, which has stopped paying his contract. His father, Jagjit Singh Hans - who became a wrestling legend in Asia as Tiger Jeet Singh - wants $1 million in a separate arbitration action that claims the WWE stopped paying him in 1999. WWE lawyer Jerry McDevitt said the company was not aware of any harassment Gurjit Hans may have suffered, and that it legally stopped paying him because he no longer can wrestle. The lawyer also said the WWE is not responsible for Gurjit Hans' injury, which was incurred during another company's match. "People make all kind of claims against the WWE, and when you get to the facts, you find that they're seldom found to be true," McDevitt said.

Chyna will be starring in a 2 hour NBC reunion this fall in a movie entitled: "Hunter". From there, she leaves for New Japan on September 2nd for 3 weeks.

For those curious, John Cena has no heat with WWE management. Many were curious as to why his push was scaled back so much in recent weeks. Apparently, that is just how Vince McMahon likes to handle new talent, gives them a debut push, scales back their push a bit, and then gives them another strong push.

As far as HBK's match at SummerSlam goes, he is said to feel back into ring shape, or as best he possibly can be with a limited amount of time to prepare. He has been working very hard on getting back in ring shape and was said to have a little test-run on RAW this past Monday, taking a couple bumps and working some spots in front of a live crowd.
