Last week on RAW, WWE confirmed a "Seattle Slugfest" boxing match between the two finalists in the Diva Search, after one of the three remaining girls is cut on tonight's broadcast.
However, WWE may not have counted on the fact that there are rules and regulation for boxing in the US. Washington's Department Of Licensing, which handles boxing and pro wrestling in the state, found out about the match and contacted WWE. At the time, WWE sources told the department that tonight's match would be a pillow fight and not a boxing match.
Of course, it is not known whether WWE has actually changed plans for RAW and will run a pillow fight, or if they were lying to get the state off their backs. If they do run a boxing match tonight, they do face the potential for charges from Washington state, although most don't feel it will go very far.
