Another match penciled in is a rematch from Fatal 4 Way, The Hart Dynasty and Natalya vs. The Usos and Tamina.

Although the primary reason for HHH's television absence is his commitment to the upcoming WWE Films project "The Chaperone," he has also been nursing some injuries, and sources have conveyed to F4WOnline.com's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that he is more hurt than first thought.

Independently of the potential effect his injuries could have on delaying a return to WWE television comes a story that a scheduled Summerslam feud between Triple H and Edge might be scrapped. Edge, who is currently part of the main-event picture on RAW, will miss some house shows later this summer to film WWE's "Chasing the Hawk."

There has been speculation for weeks that The Rock may once again reunite with the WWE shortly. In prior years, The Rock has distanced himself from professional wrestling, but in recent interviews, The Rock has warmed up to the idea of returning to the WWE on a short-term basis.

Comments by The Rock in recent interviews began fueling speculation that the WWE was interested in bringing in The Rock in to face John Cena at WrestleMania 26. The Rock was scheduled to guest host the RAW that Mike Tyson hosted just a few weeks ago, but that had to be moved so The Rock could promote his new movie, Tooth Fairy.

Sources are now indicating that The Rock may return to the WWE sometime this summer. It is entirely possible that The Rock's return may be more than a one-time RAW hosting gig and may actually lead to a match against John Cena at Summerslam.

In a recent interview, this is what The Rock had to say: "Will I go back? Absolutely. The goal is to go back and do something special. I talked to Vince (McMahon) a couple of months ago and we're trying to come up with something."
