Post-Raw dark match, WWE's plans this week, Sorensen update, Cena game, Interviews with Snuka/Y2J/Hogan, Eva Marie photos, Summerslam press conference, Raw audience, another way to watch Summerslam, Storm at Performance Center, new TNA talent?, and Questions on Summerslam matches, JR, Angle, and the McMahons

After Raw, the team of Big Show, Mark Henry, and Daniel Bryan beat The Shield. How crazy is it that that face trio came together after their feuds for the World Title? It makes sense since they're all enemies of The Shield; it's just kind of funny that they're working together now.

WWE put out a press release about their Summerslam week activities. It's a big thing. Notable is that Eve Torres and Rey Mysterio will be a part of Summerslam week. I haven't heard anything about either returning any time soon (or in Eve's case, returning at all - she just lives in the area).

Jesse Sorensen got good news on his neck status, and here's a preview for his shoot interview. I can't blame TNA for cutting him loose given how much money he made in his backstage role. They did make him a promise, though. Sometimes those aren't easy to keep.

WWE has released a John Cena racing game. Details here. Yeah, I won't be playing that.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka talked about Piper's Pit, WrestleMania I, and more in an excerpt from his book. Quite interesting stuff!

Chris Jericho talked about Fozzy and WWE. It doesn't look like he's going to stop playing with Fozzy any time soon. If anything, he'll transition from WWE into that "full-time".

Here are some Maxim photos of Eva Marie. She can at least do that part of the job pretty well.

Hulk Hogan talked about getting back into the ring, making a movie, and more. I personally prefer Hollywood Hogan, seeing as how I didn't grow up in the '80s. I wonder if he'll change his tune about getting back in the ring.

Here are some videos from the Summerslam press conference. Can it hurry up and be Sunday night now? I mean, I want to see this week's other wrestling shows and all, but Summerslam's looking pretty good.

Raw's audience this week was 4.11 million. Hopefully the audience will go up after Summerslam.

Beginning with Summerslam, WWE will be presenting PPVs for streaming on PS3s. That's great!

Lance Storm detailed his visit to the WWE Performance Center, where he served as a guest trainer. That's also pretty awesome.

TNA is continuing to plan to bring in new talent, but nothing is definitive at this point and no one has been named just yet. Which Bellator talent will it be!? No; they definitely need some new wrestling talent.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Those first two sentences were pretty deep. I think Bryan can continue to fight "the establishment" and doubters after Summerslam. As for the sports entertainment comment, compare Bryan 2013 to Bryan 2010: now he has catch-phrases, his crazy beard, T-shirts, etc.. He's very much a "sports entertainer", just in different ways than Cena.

2. I think Punk and Lesnar get along pretty well, so I don't see it happening.

3. I actually don't know what his official job title is, but he is really involved on that end. I believe that he helps scout talent as well.

4. He would be a liability if they brought him back and continued the kind of things he's doing in TNA, so I can see how they would be hesitant to bring him back.

5. It's more of a USA Network thing than anything, as they've reported before. They like the power struggle angles.

More wrestling tomorrow.
