According to the August 4 F4W newsletter at F4Wonline.com, Hardy, Punk, Cryme Tyme and John Morrison have been getting praise behind-the-scenes, and it didn’t look at that point like – due to injuries, etc. – there would be a women’s match scheduled for the event. Morrison is the only one mentioned not on the card yet, although personally I can see him having a role in the Smackdown main event. As for the DX vs. Legacy match, if that didn’t happen, there was also talk about HHH vs. Ted DiBiase. There’s also a chance Maria will be at ringside with Ziggler, and that Khali vs. Kane will be added to the card.
