– The idea behind Randy Orton defeating Dean Ambrose on last night’s RAW was that it keeps Orton strong for his upcoming pay-per-view matches with Roman Reigns. Their match on last Friday’s SmackDown ended with Ambrose winning by disqualification.

– Booker T has announced that Devon will be appearing at his Reality of Wrestling Summer of Champions iPPV on July 26th in Houston. Devon joins Josh Mathews, Jinder Mahal, Teddy Long and Diamond Dallas Page as names announced for the event.

– The Miz saying a fan named Johnny Russo wrote him a letter about Chris Jericho on last night’s RAW was apparently a scripted rib at Vince Russo.

Jack Swagger likely was not on last night’s WWE RAW from Canada due to his previous legal troubles in the United States. As recent as January of this year, Swagger had to miss WWE events in Canada for the same reason. It’s possible he still isn’t allowed into Canada.

Zeb Colter was reportedly at last night’s RAW but WWE aired a sidebar video of him instead of having him in front of the live crowd because they didn’t want the “Real American” to get booed by the Canadian crowd. Swagger and Zeb are playing the babyface role in the feud with Rusev and Lana.

Mick Foley posted the following on Facebook yesterday:

THANK YOU SANTINO

I heard that Santino Marella announced last night in Toronto that his in-ring days might be winding down due to another neck injury. If so, I’d like to send out a special thank you.

Thank you Santino, for making me run upstairs to find the source of my children’s huge waves of laughter, to see your dance off with Vladimir Koslov – reminding me what it was I loved about wrestling, at a time when I had briefly stopped watching.

Thank you Santino, for making me jump up from Chris Giordano’s couch and cheer you on out loud while watching the 2012 Elimination Chamber,

Thank you for giving me one last great in-ring moment when The Sock met The Cobra – a clash for the ages.

Thank you Santino Marella – WWE Universe – you entertaining somanagun!

Feel free to share your favorite Santino moment.` I, for one, will be eagerly awaiting a “Best of Santino” on #WWECountdown.

Bishop (real name Clayton Jack) is a former NCAA All-American wrestler who WWE officials recruited last year from Oregon State. His time thus far in developmental has been rocky. He has only competed twice on WWE NXT so far this year (losing both times) and according to PWInsider.com, was recently sidelined with a torn rotator cuff that could put him out of action for seven to eight months if surgery is required.

Brennan (Rich Bocchini), who calls the action WWE NXT, previously announced for Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling independent promotion in the Houston, Texas area. His background includes announcing for the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees Central Hockey League team and the American Hockey League’s Houston Aeros.

– Triple H, who does not follow TNA Wrestling employees on Twitter, briefly followed Samoa Joe on the social media platform late Saturday night, with Joe adding the WWE executive at approximately the same time as well.

When you follow a person on Twitter, you can also keep tabs on that individual’s follow and favorite activity. So late last night, some fans noticed the WWE executive and TNA star following each other (which would allow users to private message each other).
