The current outlook on Batista at the moment within WWE is that management is protecting him in his role as World Heavyweight Champion on SmackDown since they feel he is largely lost in the ring without a veteran worker like Triple H. The ongoing word is that they don't want to expose his in-ring weakness to the fans and feel his in-ring time on TV should be more limited. Despite these flaws, Batista is said to have a great attitude backstage, has a desire to learn and understands his strengths and weaknesses at this point in his career.

Khosrow Daivari will be moved to the Deep South developmental territory in Georiga soon where his character will be repackaged following the removal of Muhammad Hassan from WWE programming in July. Hassan is expected to be moved back to Ohio Valley Wrestling where he was for many years before being brought up to the main roster this past year.

The poster for the upcoming RAW brand Unforgiven pay per view on September 18th shows John Cena and Kurt Angle as the main event. Cena is also holding the WWE Championship on the poster.
