WWE made some kind of payment to the World Wildlife Fund. WWE is allowed to use the WWF logo and say WWF over footage as long as it is old footage.

- Backstage SummerSlam News: According to F4WOnline.com, WWE is finalizing plans for SummerSlam this Sunday night and the current plan is for CM Punk vs John Cena vs Big Show to close the show.

WWE has been considering a John Cena title win at SummerSlam, which would then setup Cena vs Rock II at the Royal Rumble, and then the Rock would go on to face CM Punk at WrestleMania 29. Again, this is a tentative plan as nothing has been finalized at this point.

As for the Triple H vs Brock Lesnar match, most expect Lesnar to go over in the bout as the feeling is Lesnar needs the win more than Triple H to build him back up for his matches that follow SummerSlam.

- Another Tough Enough Contestant Released: WWE has released Caylee Turner, who is the real-life younger sister of Alicia Fox.

Turner, whose real name is Christina Crawford, was a contestant on last year’s Tough Enough and was reportedly released from NXT (formerly FCW) on 14 August 2012 (Tuesday).
