Thursday news update: New PPV match, new addition to the Orton family, TV taping tonight and more
- WWE have announced a new match for this Sunday’s Great American Bash PPV in Long Island, New York, with John Morrison & The Miz defending their Tag Team Titles in a fatal four way match against Finlay & Hornswoggle, Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder and Jesse & Festus.
I like the addition of that match, but after this past Tuesday night’s edition of ECW on Sci Fi, why can’t we have the Hardy Boyz in there?
- The announced card in full for this Sunday night’s show (live coverage here at WWEPreview.com from 8pm EST/1am UK time) is as follows:
- WWE Championship Match: Triple H vs. Edge
- World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk vs. Batista
- ECW Championship Match: Mark Henry vs. Tommy Dreamer

- NYC Parking Lot Brawl: John Cena vs. John Bradshaw Layfield

As always, we’ll have a full PPV preview up on the site on Sunday ahead of our live coverage, plus over the weekend we’ll also be revealing who the winners and losers were in our feature on the best (and worst) of the WWE in 2008 for the first half of year.
