– PWInsider.com is reporting that Sabu was, opposed to other reports, not at RAW last night to discuss a WWE contract, but that WWE is interested in signing him and other ECW talent.

– In legends news, PWInsider.com is also reporting that the two-disc Ultimate Warrier DVD is slated for 9/27 street date, and that Ric Flair, Roddy Piper and Hillbilly Jim are among the legends expected to represent WWE at this week’s Licensing Show in NYC.

– Matt Hardy has so far not commented on last night’s RAW, increasing speculation that the Edge/Matt/Lita situation was a work all along OR that Matt has been re-hired due to audience reaction. Matt has posted a video of his new online-only reality show, featuring him running over a poster of Lita, here.
