On the September 23rd edition of WWE Monday Night Raw, Dolph Ziggler was originally booked to get assaulted by Randy Orton and The Shield but that spot ended up going to Rob Van Dam because of him not signing a new contract yet.

WWE officials are thinking about trying once again to repackage Wade Barrett and give him another renewed push. There is talk of having him do his "Bad News Barrett" gimmick that he's been doing on The JBL and Cole Show on WWE's YouTube channel.
