WWE Notes: Raw Dark Matches, Injury, Divas Title & More

News, Ratings

“Word backstage” (according to PWInsider.com) is that Snitsky broke his nose taking the Go To Sleep from CM Punk on Raw last night.

Speaking of Raw, by all indications the New Orleans crowd was pretty hot for John Cena, who recently filmed his latest movie there. Cena gave a speech after the show went off the air thanking the city for the support, and then beat JBL in a quick impromtu match.

Other dark match results (pre-Raw) were Hacksaw Jim Duggan over Matt Striker and Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, Jr. over D’Lo Brown and Paul London.

In other WWE news, the Saturday (7/5) AM Raw did an 0.9 cable rating, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Also, WWE had reportedly been thinking about adding a Divas Title to Smackdown for a while, with Torrie Wilson’s waist a possible destination for the belt when talks were had last year.
