More Backstage RAW News, Orton Replaces Hassan at SmackDown House Shows

In another update on RAW tonight, CM Punk, April Hunter, Slyck Wagner Brown, and Matt Striker are all at the Mohegan Sun Casino for the RAW tapings tonight. Striker did a farewell speech at the NWA Cyberspace indy event in Wayne, New Jersey over the weekend saying how he's going "to the big time." However, he would not confirm a signed deal with WWE.

The 8/13 London, Ontario SmackDown! house show has undergone a main event change. The previously scheduled bout between Muhammad Hassan and Dave Batista has been now changed to Batista vs. Randy Orton. That seems to be the direction they're going for upcoming house shows, seeing as they had to kill off Hassan.
