HUGE NEWS: NEW IC CHAMP!!
Christian defeated Booker T to recapture the Intercontinental title last night at a house show in Des Moines, Iowa. Very few times in recent memory has a title changed hands at a house show and stayed with the new recipient.
Often during the reign of the Hardcore Title that would be changed several times due to the 24/7 ruling, but would always end up back on the champ. The other way a title change would "occur" would be via the Dusty finish, however neither of these happened in Des Moines.
This of course does not bode well for the injury status of Booker T. He has been experiencing severe back pains recently and the results of a scan on that injury are probably now known, thus the reason for him dropping the title.
It’s also interesting that WWE weren’t even able to wait 24 hours for Booker to drop the title on television, which would lead one to assume the injury is so serious that it could’ve de-generated further by this evening, or that Booker couldn’t put on any kind of legit performance on a television broadcast.
RAW Preview August 11th: 
RAW is live tonight from The MARK of the Quad Cities in Moline, Ill. SummerSlam is just two weeks away; the main event has been announced. Will any more matches be announced tonight at 9/8 CT, live on Spike TV, the first network for men?
Last week, an irate Chris Jericho blamed his loss to Rob Van Dam on Kevin Nash. Y2J challenged Big Daddy Cool to a Hair vs. Hair Match. Will Nash accept the challenge?
Nash, Y2J and the four other Superstars who will be part of SummerSlam's Elimination Chamber -- Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Goldberg and World Heavyweight Champion Triple H -- are all scheduled to be in Moline. That means the potential for all hell to break loose is higher than ever.
Also announced for SummerSlam is RVD vs. Kane. Can anyone control Kane? Can RVD put a stop to his path of destruction? Will Kane be in Moline tonight?
For the past several weeks, the long-time voice of RAW, Jim Ross, has been recovering from vicious burns he received at the hands of Kane. Last week, The King hinted to the fact that J.R. may actually be well enough to return to his post at the announce booth as soon as this week. Will Jim Ross be at RAW tonight?
Find out on RAW, which begins at 9 p.m./8 CT on Spike TV, the first network for men.
