Sounds like a good preview. Melina being released? Unexpected for me.

| News on Melina's release | The breaking story today is that of Melina being released by WWE. Early reports from our sources state that Melina was notoriously arrogant backstage and people were starting to find it hard to work with her. The final straw came when she caused a scene in front of fans in the parking lot at the RAW show in Hampton, presumably for being left off the (yet to be announced) SummerSlam card.
This release can also be contributed in part to Triple H's new role backstage. On-screen he is playing the part of Chairman and CEO of the WWE. Backstage, he has gained more power as Vince McMahon looks set to hand over the company to his son-in-law and Stephanie McMahon. Triple H is keen on replenishing the rosters, cleaning them out of unwanted talent. Our insider has said that Triple H is keen to have friends around him, bringing up such names as Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman. What this will lead to, if anything, remains unknown.

WWERAW: Cena opening the show is surprising, I would've though Triple H would've opened up, which I would've pregeted if I'm honest. Typical Cena thanking people. Cena getting a rematch I'm fine with as long as he doesn't win it back for a long reign. Triple H out now, is about right. Realistically Cena is booked for the SummerSlam main event and Del Rio comes out to interuppt, glad something came of the opening segment for tonight, Del Rio vs. Cena should be nice. Ziggler over Bourne is fine, I liked R-Truth wandering around, adds to his conspiracy gimmick. Alex Riley vs. McIntyre sounds alright. Eve pretty much earning contendership is fine, though I am now a fan of hers. CM Punk being mentioned on RAW means that he'll probably be brought back, though if you didn't it'd be a horrible decision. I'm expecting a triple threat match at SummerSlam. Del Rio escaping from his match with Cena was pretty good, I wonder how long this 'vacation' will last for. LMAO at your WWE Did you Know. Cena defeating Truth is fine, but I feel like Truth was pretty worthless there, I'd have liked to hear more about Truth. I wonder where Del Rio fits in with this feud over the WWE Championship. Ryder fist pumping was pretty funny, I think him being used as a comedy character is the right way to go. Alex Riley over McIntyre is fine, not much development for either of them though. Not really a fan of Mysterio winning with a roll-up, a 619 would've worked fine. However, Rey winning is great as I am a fan of him. Fine Superstars results too. Good show overall, looking forward to more.

 WWE SmackDown, July 29 2011 @ Philadelphia, PA
We're shown a recap of last week's edition of SmackDown in the wake of the explosive Money In The Bank pay-per-view. Randy Orton was denied the chance of a rematch with Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship, at least on that night, and instead he met Kane in a Street Fight. Culminating in a win for Ortonn and a handshake, the night seemed to end on a high. That is, until, Mark Henry made his way out. Having already shattered the ankle of Big Show, the World's Strongest Man now repeated his attack from Money In The Bank and left the Big Red Machine in agony on the mat.
SmackDown opens up with World Champion Christian standing in the ring. A chorus of boos spreads over the arena as Michael Cole, alongisde Josh Matthews and Booker T, welcomes us to the show. Christian begins talking about last week and how Randy Orton proved himself to be a desperate man. Just like Money In The Bank when he tried to cheat to beat Christian, it backfired. Last week, Orton demanded an immediate title shot knowing the Christian wasn't 100% following their pay-per-view bout. He's desperate to win back the World Heavyweight Championship. Christian says he's recieved word that Orton wants his rematch tonight. Christian says this won't be the case and pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket. It's the contract that both men signed prior to the last match. Christian says desperation rears its ugly head again. Orton was so desperate to get his hands on him that he overlooked several clauses in this very contract which he will now read aloud. Firstly, Orton signed away ANY chance of an automatic rematch. That clause doesn't exist in this contract. Secondly, for the first month of his reign (should he win the belt at Money In The Bank), Christian is allowed to dictate his title defenses. When and where they will happen is down to him. Now, he's a fighting Champion. He will defend the belt at SummerSlam. But if Orton wants that shot, he's going to have to earn it from the back of the line. At this point, Sheamus' music hits and the crowd pops big for the Celtic Warrior. Sheamus makes his way down to the ring and takes a mic. Sheamus says straight-up that Christian has no excuse for putting Sheamus at "the back of the line" so why doesn't he defend the World Title against him? Christian says Sheamus has to earn it. At this point Sheamus removes his shirt and says he's about to earn it. Christian backs into his corner as a brawl is about to ensue. Teddy Long comes out demanding that no brawling takes place. Long says everything Christian has stated is correct and they have to determine a new Number One Contender for SummerSlam. So tonight, there will be a match that will see the Celtic Warrior, Sheamus, taking on the Viper, Randy Orton! The winner will be the challenger for Christian's title in Los Angeles. Christian doesn't look to happy, but Sheamus does. Rubbing his hands together and smiling, Sheamus has the opportunity to book a spot at SummerSlam tonight. We head to the commercial break as Long's music hits.
Commercial Break
WWE Did You Know?
"WWE has more Twitter followers than Disney, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Microsoft, Nickelodeon and McDonalds."
Ezekiel Jackson defeats Justin Gabriel with the Book of Ezekiel to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Gabriel tries to show off a little too much. He has heart, but that's not going to be enough to beat Big Zeke. The Champion avoids the 450 Splash and hits the winded Gabriel with the Book of Ezekiel.
Following the match, Heath Slater made his way out. Getting in Zeke's face and shoving the Champion proved to be a big mistake and led to Slater being knocked out with a shot to head with the gold.
Backstage, Daniel Bryan is seen in his dressing room pulling on his kickpads. Cody Rhodes walks in with Ted DiBiase, Bryan's opponent for later tonight. Rhodes says that Bryan is holding on to something for him, something he deserves more for what he's had to go through this year. He's talking about the Money In The Bank briefcase. Rhodes says that tonight, DiBiase is going to retrieve it for him. Bryan laughs and wishes them luck before leaving the room, leaving Rhodes and DiBiase irate.
Commercial Break
Mark Henry defeats Yoshi Tatsu with the World's Strongest Slam.
A squash. Yoshi stood absolutely no chance. He managed to kick in a few kicks that had absolutely no affect on the behemoth before him.
Matt Striker makes his way out to interview Henry. Stiker asks what Henry's motives are for his recent attacks on Big Show and Kane and what his future plans are. Henry says he doesn't need a motive. He's the World's Strongest Man and he's going to mow through anyone that gets in his way. As for future plans, he's going to remain tight-lipped for now, but he's more than happy to get straight to right here and now. He grabs Striker and plants him with a sick World's Strongest Slam. Henry stands over him as we cut to commercials.
A commercial airs for the new DVD release "Rey Mysterio: The Life of a Masked Man".
Commercial Break
A video from during commercials shows EMT's taking Matt Striker away with suspected broken ribs following Mark Henry's unprovoked attack on him before the break.
Todd Grisham interviews Wade Barrett backstage. Barrett says he's extremely frustrated by the current World Title situation, especially since Teddy Long is allowed Sheamus to worm his way in. Barrett says he understands why Randy Orton would be up there, but Sheamus has done nothing warrant a shot at Christian. He claims it's unfair and that Teddy Long is easily won over by the idiotic fans. Barrett leaves, knocking over a part of the set in frustration.
We see a video for the RAW Rebound. We see that Alberto Del Rio has left RAW to go on "vacation", whilst Rey Mysterio defeated The Miz to become the new WWE Champion. He will face John Cena at SummerSlam in his first title defense.
A graphic announces that on RAW, Triple H will address the WWE with major news!
We see that coming up next we'll see Ted DiBiase taking on Mr. Money In The Bank, Daniel Bryan!
Commercial Break
Daniel Bryan defeats Ted DiBiase (with Cody Rhodes) with a Roundhouse Kick.
Rhodes pulled his man out of the ring as Bryan invited him in to face him. Rhodes backed away with DiBiase, leaving the fans booing. Bryan smiles, knowing he's inside Rhodes' head.
A commercial hypes our Number One Contenders main event, Sheamus vs. Randy Orton.
A "be a STAR" anti-bullying campaign video airs, featuring WWE Superstars such as Big Show, Daniel Bryan, Booker T, World Heavyweight Champion Christian, Kofi Kingston and the Bella Twins.
Commercial Break
Backstage, Teddy Long is sitting at his desk going over paperwork when Wade Barrett barges in. He demands to be added to tonight's Number One Contenders match. If Sheamus gets a free pass, why shouldn't he? Long says he can't just hand out title opportunities to anyone. Barrett tells him to look at RAW and how they've lost both CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio in the space of a week. Unless he wants SmackDown to start losing stars, be better rethink his stance. Long, reluctantly, agrees to make it a Triple Threat match tonight.
Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali make their way out to a hostile reception. Mahal cuts a promo in Punjabi all the way down to the ring. They're interupted, however, by the Usos and a traditional Samoan war dance.
Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali defeat The Usos when Mahal hit a Full Nelson Slam on Jimmy.
Included a commercial break.
The 24th annual SummerSlam is live August 14 from Los Angeles, CA. Call your pay-per-view provider for more information or visit WWE.com.
We see that all three men scheduled for the main event are heading to the ring. Who's heading to SummerSlam to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship?
Commercial Break
Randy Orton defeats Sheamus and Wade Barrett with an RKO to Sheamus to become the Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship.
Barrett seems to hold some sort of grudge against Sheamus, focusing on him more than Orton. The finish saw Sheamus nail Barrett with a Brogue Kick right in the jaw, sending the former Nexus leader out of the ring. Orton avoided a repeat attempt, and dropped Sheamus with an RKO for the win.
Orton celebrated the win, and he'll now be on his way to SummerSlam to challenge Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship. Teddy Long presents him with the contract at ringside and he signs it, making the match official. However, he is brutally attacked from behind by Mark Henry. Henry decimates Orton with three World's Strongest Slams. He turns his attention to Orton's leg. He wraps it round the ringpost a few times before finishing his attack with a huge Splash to the now-injured leg of the Viper. Henry snatches the clipboard from Teddy Long's hands and snaps it in half, tearing the contract and effectively making it void. SmackDown concludes as Henry places the torn up contract on Orton's lifeless body.

WWE SmackDown: Friday 29th July 2011...Very good move releasing Melina, I despised her. Christian kicking off the show is pretty good, quite interesting in what the SmackDown main event for SummerSlam shall be, did like Christian turning down Randy Orton for a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. Sheamus interrupting was great, and I am very looking forward to Orton facing Sheamus tonight. Sheamus could be big, hopefully in the near future he becomes a big hit. Definitely deserves a title run. Ezekiel Jackson beating Justin Gabriel was predictable, unsure as to why Gabriel is stil la heel though. Mark Henry beating Yoshi Tatsu was obvious, didn't do a whole lot. He should have done something a lot better in my opinion. Nice interview following this though. Interested in what Triple H has to say on RAW. Daniel Bryan beating Ted Dibiase is fine, quite a decent match, but we've seen it too many times last year. Cody Rhodes and Bryan's feud has reached a climax. May SummerSlam be the conclusion? Jinder Mahal and the Great Khali beating the Usos was quite a fair move, not sure why it went so lengthy that it needed a commercial break though. Randy Orton beating Sheamus and Wade Barrett was a good main event, I suppose we can get Orton and Mark Henry in another contender's match next week on SmackDown. Either way, could see a triple threat match at SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight Championship. Not too bad a show, just don't understand why Daniel Bryan was on the graphic despite not having anything to do with the main event scene, it just didn't make a lot of sense.

Friday Night SmackDown; First of all, releasing Melina was a good move, because she was doing absolutely nothing, and probably never will ever again. Christian denying Randy Orton his Championship rematch was good, but I sense that he'll get it anyway. It'd be silly for him not to. Obvious victory for Ezekiel Jackson here, which I'm happy about. Possible title match with Heath Slater next week? Obvious victory for Mark Henry, he's ben on a roll as of late, and he's one of my favourites to watch on SmackDown. Loved him taking out Matt Striker, also. Happy to see Daniel Bryan go over Ted DiBiase, he needs these wins. Nice to see Wade Barrett added to the Main Event, but I don't see him winning. Good win for Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali, they definitely have something going for them. As expected, Randy Orton wins, but I loved the ending. Mark Henry destroying the competition is what I like to see, and with Henry doing his steel chair splash, is Orton out now? I hope he isn't because Orton is really the only good face in the Main Event scene right now. But overall, a good show.

Good start to the program with Christian mentioning that Orton is desperate and didn’t read the contract properly. I liked that touch. Solid win for Jackson, who I consider to be Ahmed Johnson 2.0. Henry getting the squash win is fine since Henry is being pushed as a monster. NO! I can’t believe Striker was slammed. Obviously Bryan gets the win. Barrett being added to the main event makes sense, too. Not surprised to see Orton get the win to face Christian at SummerSlam. Didn’t expect you to go any other way. Wonder if this makes a four way with Henry ripping up the contract. I'm kind of interested in a Orton/Henry singles feud if im totally honest. Overall, seemed like a pretty average show to me.

- As I said before, didn't see Melina's Release coming, but a good move. She had nothing going for her.
- Good to see Jackson win. Nice to see Justin almost win. Slater v. Zeke next week?
- Nice build-up for Daniel. I see Ted turning face if he keeps losing, and Cody just berating him could be the catalyst.
- Striker getting slammed, good call. Made Mark more of a beast.
- Sheamus and Barrett staking their claims should freshen up the World Title Scene.
- Mahal and Khali, I have no clue what to make of them. Hopefully Jimmy & Jey get back on track soon. They deserve a Title Shot at SummerSlam
- Orton winning was pretty much the only way to go.
- Henry getting this kind of push is GREAT. Him taking out Orton is PERFECT for a Title run. If only WWE capitalized on this in 2009. Considering the contract's torn up, I see either a Triple Threat, or a Scramble Match at the PPV.
Pretty good show, man. Can't wait for RAW.
