Quick Smackdown Results: Tajiri/Nunzio over Billy Kidman/Rey Mysterio Jr., Shaniqua over Dawn Marie via DQ, Chris Benoit over Rhyno, Eddy Guerrero over John Cena, APA over Matt Hardy/Shannon Moore, and Brock Lesnar vs. Stephanie McMahon was a no contest.

The RAW crew will be in Nashville, TN tomorrow night. Last week's two hours of RAW finished #3 and #6, with NFL at #1 and #2, and Law & Order at #4 and #5. WWE signed Ryan "Keiji" Sakoda & "Superfreak" Chris Mordetzky of OVW to WWE developmental deals.

Booker T and Mark Henry were the guests on this afternoon's Byte This!, and Booker T says he's feeling much better now and hopes to return to the ring in October. Jim Ross will appear on Food Network's Celebrity Food Finds which airs Saturday at 5pm. Mick Foley will co-host Jimmy Kimmel Live next week as he works to promote his novel Tietam Brown.

HHH apparently lost out to Goldberg for a role in the Looney Tunes movie. The NWA TNA heel section discussed their post-RAW run-in with Goldberg on their forum. Goldberg is confirmed for the October 25 Zero-One show at the Yokohama Arena in an appearance that stems from his pre-WWE contract with Pride.

NWA TNA addressed the problem of some cable systems charging $9.95 for the one-cent PPV and they're asking affected viewers to contact them. They also issued an official preview for next week's PPV. The card includes Raven vs. Shane Douglas in a hair vs. hair match, AJ Styles vs. Jerry Lynn for the NWA Title, D'Lo Brown vs. Sonny Siaki in a casket match, America's Most Wanted vs. 3 Live Kru vs. Kid Kash/Abyss vs. New Church in a four corners #1 contender match, plus Juventud Guerrera and Roddy Piper make their returns. TNA has attempted to sign unsigned wrestlers to provide medical insurance.

Jerry Lawler was pulled from MLW's September 19 Wargames main event by WWE citing MLW's national coverage on the Sunshine Network. MLW issued a complete list of J-Cup USA participants including Christopher Daniels, Jerry Lynn, and Juventud Guerrera. SLAM has an article on the popularity of Bruno Sammartino and the launch of his official website.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
