RAW rating on USA Network does well, Matt Hardy's future + RVD note

The 10/3 edition of WWE RAW and the return episode to the USA Network drew a 4.4 cable rating. This rating is up from what the final edition drew on Spike TV last week with just a 3.2 rating. We should have more on this rating later.

For those who didn't look into the spoilers before the match took place last night on RAW, Matt Hardy is scheduled to head to SmackDown. There is no word on if they will jump on the debut tonight at the tapings in Austin. Hardy's profile has been removed from the RAW Superstars area on WWE.com. (Thanks to Erin Hayes & Chris Day for sending word)

It was reported yesterday by PWInsider.com in a "possible spoiler" for RAW last night that Rob Van Dam was backstage at the event in Dallas, Texas. It turns out that report was incorrect as Van Damn did not attend the show. We picked up on the story last night and apologize for posting the error.
