Dusty said Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Title is taking place tonight. Just like Ted DiBiase booked Ted, Jr. vs. Orton on July 6. Except title is on the line tonight. Dusty said he’ll be in Cody’s corner. And the special referee tonight is John Cena. Dusty thought it was over, but…Randy Orton’s music hit and Dusty stood still. Huge reaction for Orton’s music for a confrontation. Orton slowly made his way to the ring and said he should kick Dusty in the skull just like he did two years ago. Orton said there’s no way Cody can hang with him in the ring. Dusty said his son is hungrier and more athletically gifted than Orton is. Orton wasn’t so sure. Cue up Cody’s theme music.

Cody Rhodes then came out and addressed Orton directly. He said this man happens to be his father. Cody said Dusty’s legacy in this industry runs much deeper than his or mine. He said he would like to think they are friends, but this is a golden opportunity and he will not pass it up. Cody said he intends to become the youngest WWE champion in history, just like Orton did. He said it’s not personal, just business. Orton paused to get this straight. He’s facing Cody. Dusty’s in the corner. Cena is the special referee. Big pop for the Cena name drop. Orton said the fix is obviously in. Dusty: “You betta believe it, Randy, the fix is in.” Cue up the Raw theme music and Orton bailed to the outside abruptly. He looked over his shoulder at Cody, who smirked and looked back to pops.

The WWE’s flagship show, Monday Night RAW, recently introduced a new “Guest Host” aspect to their show. And while the gig is sometimes filled by wrestling legends such as Ted “Million Dollar Man” DiBiase and Sergeant Slaughter (and Dusty Rhodes this upcoming Monday) there have been a number of surprising guests from the world of sports, TV and film. The “Which celebrity will host RAW next?” question has done wonders for the show, with ratings climbing up at least 10%. Seth Green, Jeremy Piven, Shaquille O’Neal and Floyd Mayweather have all recently made appearances on the show, taking over the role of “General Manager.”

IGN recently had a chance to talk to a bunch WWE stars about the new hosts at both SDCC ‘09 and at the Summerslam/Betty’s Battle (bettysbattle.org) kickoff party this past Friday night. “I think it’s great,” Triple H told us. “I think it adds a new factor that’s a lot of fun and it makes it different every week. I think we’ve gotten some great guests so far, much in the vein of a newer, hipper Saturday Night Live maybe.” Triple H then went on to say that RAW is a great way to promote a movie, a TV show or even a charity – much like Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell’s charity ALS Betty’s Battle (O’Dell will be hosting an upcoming RAW in a few weeks).

“I think it’s cool, man,” said WWE Champion Randy Orton. “I mean we’re out here in Hollywood right now. I’m from St. Louis, Missouri so I’m not used to this sort of thing. Getting to mingle with these guys and our fans seeing that these celebrities are fans of what we do I think creates a cool crossover there where more people start watching our product.”

First of all, I want to apologize for not posting the past two month’s WWE Magazine scans, honestly time simply got away from me. But no worries! Here are 3 months worth of scans, though, as we all know isn’t much since WWE Magazine tends to shy away from their dominate WWE Champion, am I correct?
