John Cena to Smackdown? The thoughts of various WWE Superstars on the possible move may not matter anymore.

With Unforgiven taking place on Sunday, word is coming in that Cena is still advertised for WWE RAW events on dates long after the pay-per-view has ended.

The two main examples are a show in Chicago on October 23 that and an upcoming Survivor Series tour of the UK this November.

Such advertisements are typically printed well in advance, so it's plausible that may still be changed - or it's plausible that Cena will grab the title belt before Edge in the duo's TLC match at the event. Tune in and find out!

For all the negative press, the WWE often receives, it's nice to see a story such as this:

Sue Aitchison, WWE's Senior Manager of Community Relations, has received the Chris Grecius Award, from the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

For 20 years, WWE.com stated, Aitchison has started and maintained a strong relationship between WWE and the Foundation. Without her, WWE’s Circle of Champions charity program would not have had the tremendous success it has enjoyed.

“It’s one of the nicest things that has happened to me in a long time,” Aitchison said. “I was very, very touched … I was really excited and at the same time I was humbled.”

Aitchison is excited to join the list of past award winners, which includes The Rock and WWE itself. She has said that the children’s smiles are rewarding enough, but this honor is the icing on the cake.

This isn't very good news. Despite a main event that featured the show's top face, Sabu, ECW on Sci-Fi this week only scored a 1.9 rating.

This is a drop frm last Tuesday's 2.1, a program that featured DX in the main event. Sadly, that probably means you can expect to see many more WWE stars randomly appearing on ECW in the future, despite the complete lack of storyline logic in that.

Meanwhile, Smackdown! had ratings problems of its own - for a different reason. The program was preempted in 45 percent of the country last week, while five percent still don't have a clearance to begin with during the switch from UPN to The CW. Major markets without a clearance this fall include Phoenix, Orlando, Porland, Baltimore, Reno, Columbia-Jefferson City (Mo.), Palm Springs, and Anchorage.

As a result, Smackdown - which featured Batista being screwed out of the title - drew a 1.0 network rating last Friday (2 share/1.1 million households).

With a move to a new network in the works (sort of, CW is the same on your TV dial) for Smackdown!, who better to discuss the change with Entertainment Tonight than one of our favorite WWE Divas?

Just hours before the most recent taping of the Smackdown!, Entertainment Tonight producers came to Worcester, Mass. to film for an upcoming one-hour special presentation on the new CW Network, giving viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the network’s programming.

Ashley served as host.

“I got to do an interview with Entertainment Tonight,” she said to WWE.com. “I’m so excited about it – how cool is that?! We were talking about moving over to CW Network. And we got to interview a few of the Superstars and we went outside and had a little fun with the WWE fans.”

Like many other SmackDown! stars, Ashley is eager and anxious for the show's move to the brand-new CW Network. The Diva believes that both SmackDown! and the CW Network have a lot to offer one another.

“This is a real exciting time for SmackDown,” said Ashley. “I think the move to CW is going to be beneficial to both parties. I think we’re going to bring unparalleled entertainment and unmatched excitement to the CW Network.

The producer of the program, Lisa DeMilo, said she was highly pleased with her backstage WWE experience.

“I cannot believe how big an event this actually is,” DeMilo said. “[The WWE Superstars] are phenomenal to work with; they are all so professional and exciting and really into what they do. [They are] amazing to work with.”

Having encountered wrestlers such as Ken Kennedy and Chavo Guerrero, DeMilo was most daunted by World Heavyweight Champion, King Booker.

“King Booker and his Queen [Sharmell]…what do you say?” asked DeMilo. “All hail to royalty! I am going to watch SmackDown every single Friday night.”

With Gridiron Gang opening this Friday, the Associated Press ran a review of the film.

It said the 1993 documentary - on which the movie is based - was better, but it praised The Rock, stating he "does exude his usual natural magnetism as the probation officer turned coach."

It also doled out a compliment in saying that the former WWE star no longer resorts to "easy eyebrow raising for a comedy spot."

Meanwhile, our favorite WWE wrestler-turned-acor will appear on Conan O'Brien tomorrow night.

It wasn't as solid a week for WWE RAW ratings as the show enjoyed last Monday. At least the company has a decent excuse.

RAW received a 3.6 in the wake of the NFL double-header on ESPN, always a popular programming choice for wrestling viewers. The Redskins/Vikings game scored a 9.9 rating from 7:00 pm through around 10:30 or so, while the Raiders/Chargers game scored a 8.5 rating and would have affected the West Coast airing of WWE RAW.

The WWE may have to step it up now, however, as football will oppose its main program for the next few months. Let's hope Unforgiven gets the brand off on a huge run starting this Sunday.

On the heels of a patriotic WWE RAW, the company has made a couple of announcements:

- Booker T/King Booker, who had hinted that retirement was in the near future, has signed a contract extension through 2009. Maybe someone will actually beat him for the title by then!

- WrestleMania tickets go on sale November 11 for next year’s show at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.

The following report is courtesy of lordsofpain.net ...

The show opened with a live look inside the arena and a moment of silence for all those lost on 9/11/01. Signs were shown from throughout the arena that were dedicated to remembering 9/11. Howard Finkel then introduced the US Marine Corp. color guard and Lillian Garcia, who sang “America the Beautiful.” The “USA” chants followed from the MSG crowd…

Match 1: Ric Flair vs. Umaga (w/ Armando Alejandro Estrada)
- Flair wasted no time attacking Umaga with chops and a rake to the eyes. He then went downstairs with a chop block, but couldn’t knock the bigger man down. Umaga came back and tried to hit the Samoan Spike, but Flair hit him with three consecutive low blows (while AAE for some reason distracted the ref). Flair then grabbed a steel chair and got himself disqualified. Umaga didn’t sell it, though. Flair went to the outside to get the ring steps, but Umaga knocked them away. Umaga proceeded to drop Flair on the floor with a Samoan Drop.

The Samoan Bulldozer threw Flair back in the ring and tossed the ring steps in there after him. Before he could use them, though, Kane came down to the ring. The two brawled, but Kane got the upper hand and went for the chokeslam. Umaga countered, though, and hit a belly-to-belly suplex. He followed with a chair shot to the back and another to the head. Kane sat up as Umaga posed and gave the Bulldozer a big boot. The Big Red Machine drilled Umaga with the chair twice, but Umaga fell out of the ring and landed on his feet. Kane proceeded to throw the ring steps at him and hit him square in the face. AAE hightailed it and Kane posed in the ring. Umaga defeated Flair via DQ at 1:10.

JR and King hyped the main-events for tonight, including McMahon vs. Triple H and Edge/Nitro/Orton vs. Cena/Hardy/Carlito.

Lillian Garcia introduced the New York Police Department’s (bag) pipes and drums group. The Highlanders followed them out to the ring, as did none other than Rowdy Roddy Piper. The three kilt-bearers made their way to the ring. Piper took a mic and hyped the NYPD. A “Roddy” chant broke out, as Piper said he loved the crowd. He said he was wandering around 8th street in NYC when he came across the 51 worst offenders in wrestling history, which is featured in WWE Magazine. He hyped that he was number one and that the Highlanders were the #1 contenders to the tag titles. Piper and Robby had fun going back and forth saying their names, and then they had fun slapping each other.

The Spirit Squad interrupted the fun, though, and made their way to the top of the ramp. One of them spoke and trashed the three Scots. Piper said that they talked tough for guys that had their balls removed and replaced with palm-palms. He challenged them to a six-man tag team match. The Squad huddled and then accepted the challenge. NYPD took off and we went to commercial in anticipation of the forthcoming match.

Match 2: The Highlanders and Roddy Piper vs. The Spirit Squad
- The match began during the break, but back from the break, Piper and the Scots were in control. Robby held an arm bar, but the Squad distracted the ref, Piper, and Rory, allowing the rest of the Squad to interfere. Mikey came in and went to work on Robby’s arm. Johnny tagged in and pounded away at Robby in the corner. Kenny tagged in and the duo hit a double suplex, which JR called a double clothesline. A rest hold followed, but Robby escaped. The Squad interfered again, though, allowing Kenny to remain in control.

The cheap tactics continued from the tag champs, but Robby fought back and went thru a rough sequence w/ Mikey as they both tried for back elbow smashes. Kenny tagged back in and hit a flying back elbow. Johnny tagged back in, but got caught in a sunset flip for a near fall. The Squad member fought right back, though, and locked in a chinlock. Robby finally got the hot tag to Piper, who came in and cleaned house. He Roddy eventually isolated Mikey and knocked him out of the ring. Kenny then regained control for a short time, but ended up getting back body dropped by Piper over the top rope. Johnny tried to pick up where Kenny left off, but the Highlanders re-entered the ring and hit a double slingshot reverse suplex for the win. Piper and the Highlanders defeated the Squad at an estimated 6:00.

The Wrestling-Observer Newsletter is reporting that notes that Randy Orton recently failed a WWE-issued drug test.

Evidently, Orton is one of WWE's "non-suspensions." This would be a reference to the new company wellness policy, which removes the stipulation that a wrestler who fails a drug test will be pulled from the road for thirty days.

The policy was changed in response to the SmackDown! roster scare from two months ago (where numerous wrestlers were diagnosed with a disease) and now calls for superstars to be docked pay and bonuses, as opposed to suffering through a suspension.

Critics, understandably, have attacked WWE's new policy, arguing that it favors business over health. It's hard to argue with this fact when Orton has seemed to receive preferential treatment on WWE RAW for years now.
