There are off air notes from last night including Heat spoilers. The Rock and Brock Lesnar were backstage at RAW. Booker T went home instead of RAW due to back injuries, and there's an update on Nash's health plus a possible spoiler for his match with Chris Jericho. Smackdown is being taped in Kelowna, BC, so spoilers should be out fairly late.

After Triple H suffered his injury last week, Vince McMahon asked Goldberg to fill in on the Australian tour, but Goldberg was unprepared to make the international trip and had to pass.

Fanboy Planet has an interview with Rob Van Dam about his new comic book and comic book store. Wrestling Observer has part 2 of Joltin' Joe's interview with Maven about WWE, Nowinski, NWA TNA and Canada.
