News Bulletin:
- At a recent string of house shows, John Bradshaw Layfield has been fueding with Hardcore Holly in several different match-types. At yesterdays show in Georgia, JBL defeated Holly in a match, with a special stipulation. John Bradshaw Layfield, as a reward for winning, was added the United States Championship match at SummerSlam, making it a fatal fourway.
- Several developmental stars were added to the WWE Roster. It is unknown yet as to when or if they will debut on the main roster at any time soon.
- On the weekend, the Tag Team Championships changed several times at house shows, but The Rated-R Entourage won them back at the most recent show. It appears that the WWE is not acknowledging these changes at all. Hawkins and Ryder defeated The Hardy Boyz at the last show to win the championships back. Could this be a sign for SummerSlam?
