Orton's Debut
Randy Orton is being advertised to appear on Sunday 31st August for the WWE Supershow at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri, his billed hometown. WWE is taping that week's editions of Raw, SmackDown & ECW on that night and the tickets for the event went on sale this morning.
WWE Divas Championship
Natalya has just posted a blog on the WWE Fan Nation site where she talks about what led her into the match versus Michelle McCool due tomorrow night during the Great American Bash pay-per-view valid for the WWE Divas Championship. Natalya in fact wrote: "I have been visualizing this match over and over in my head. My uncle Bret told me that in his match against Davey Boy Smith at Wembley Stadium, for the IC Championship, he visualized every bit of it and It helped prepared him for "battle." In this case, I can see it all unfolding and I am trying to find my focus for what I intend to be an all out war. There is no doubt, that McCool is one hell of a fighter. I am going to have to pull out all the stops if I want to walk away victorious."
