- WWE's latest batch of writers is said to continue in the trend of having absolutely no wrestling experience. One of the new female writers, who has a history with Nickelodeon, actually asked John Bradshaw Layfield how the wrestlers keep the fake blood flowing from their heads. What's even worse is that WWE has Court Bauer, one of the few writers with extensive knowledge, writing WWE Velocity.

Sources blame Stephanie McMahon for moving WWE as far away from "pure wrestling" as possible. She was said to have loved this week's RAW as it had a large quotient of off-beat entertainment.

- There are conflicting reports emerging as to Chris Jericho's status with WWE. One source reports that Jericho has informed management of his plans to take extended time off after Summerslam, largely to do work with Fozzy.

Jericho's failure to re-sign his contract is definitely a bad sign, as most wrestlers renew their contracts well ahead of the expiration date. While Jericho has been telling friends that his re-signing with WWE is not a given, some sources doubt such a claim. If WWE was not under the impression that Jericho was planning to continue with WWE, giving him a push into Summerslam would seem very illogical. With TNA about to debut on Spike TV, it seems unlikely that WWE would risk one of its stars jumping ship.
