-The WWE Smackdown taping takes place tonight in Kansas City, Mo. at Sprint Center. WWE advertised in an ad on Raw that the new No. 1 contender for the World Hvt. Championship will be determined on on the show. It remains to be seen whether that contender will be challenge Sheamus at SummerSlam or if it's just a setup for a match between now and then. We are looking for correspondents for tonight's taping. If you are going to the show and want to help, contact me right away at dotnetjason@gmail.com.
