Friday might not Jeff Hardy's last appearance:

Danny sent word that on the WWE.com Live Events schedule, Jeff Hardy is listed for all Smackdown tapings (except next week in Cleveland) on WWE.com. Last week, WWE.com did not have Hardy listed for the events. Obviously, this is going to fuel speculation that Hardy is sticking around, despite talk that he would be leaving after tonight's TV taping, where he will face CM Punk in a steel cage.

I would take the WWE.com listings with a grain of salt. Most venues that are hosting Smackdown/ECW tapings in the next few weeks were recently given a new lineup of talent to advertise, and those lineups do not include Jeff Hardy, but do include The Undertaker. In fact, Undertaker vs. CM Punk will be a dark match main event at some tapings.

As we reported previously, next week's taping in Cleveland, Ohio will have an appearance by the Undertaker, a dark match main event of DX vs. Legacy in a steel cage, and an advertised match with Big Show & Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio & Great Khali.

I would chalk it up to a WWE.com error, one that will probably be changed soon enough, although when it comes to Jeff Hardy, I think we've learned that you never can tell what will happen.

Raw's rating:

The Guest Host concept continues to draw an audience for WWE as the 8/24 edition of Raw did a 3.9 rating. The show did hours of 3.92 and 3.94, trailing on The Closer and Preseason football on ESPN in the nightly rankings. It's also fair to say that at least part of the number is due to the post-SummerSlam bump.

They did push Billy Gunn, but dude didn't perform well in the ring, and the booking team felt it was better for him to be called "Mr. %+%" full-time, instead of "Bad %+%" Billy Gunn. I do remember him putting on a really good match against HHH on Raw soon after, but his tights were cool. Dude has his usual lips, with crowns on them.
Haha this was my first live Raw, it was Labor Day 99

at theHartford Civic Center. Imagine how dissapointed I was that in the middle of the attitude era I was stuck with HGH and that jobber as THE MAIN EVENT!

I'm watcing ECW via stream tonight since my parents occupied my TV and the TV in my room doesn't have Direc TV anymore

And the only reason I would want to see AJ Styles come to the WWE is to deliver the Styles Clash on Michelle Mc Cool for stealing it.

I wanted CM Punk to beat Regal in the KOTR finals. We couldve won the tag titles at Judgment Day 2008. Imagine all the titles we wouldve won that year,including KOTR and MITB

yea it would be sick, but WWE already mis used AJ Styles during his WWE days. Knowing WWE, they would probably book him to be like how Evan Bourneis now.

 

[maelstroom]

Evan Bourne was supposed to be ECW Champ when it Sci-Fi changed to Syfy.

Then they move him to Raw.
