The big takeaway was that the audience grew strongly in hour two, and while it fell in hour three, the 2.82 million viewers for hour three was the best since April ...
The three hours were:
8 p.m. 2.88 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.01 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.82 million viewers

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Lesnar is scheduled to be at the August 13th Raw in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Greensboro Coliseum Complex will host the go-home Raw before SummerSlam.
Heyman is scheduled to be at the Raw in Greensboro as well. Angle came close to firing The Advocate this week on Raw, but Lesnar's last-minute appearance saved Heyman's job, although Lesnar assaulted Heyman as well.
