Superstars Reax - 6/18/16, WWE live event note, WWE zombie figures released, and Questions on two Kevin Sullivans, replacing Lawler, CWC names being under WWE contract, Moose's future, and ECW tag teams

Superstars:
- Summer vs. Sasha:
I'm liking the work between these two early. Good to see the Boss back in action.

These two work together pretty well. Summer brings something different to the table, and has a good sense of pacing.

Pretty solid match.

- Corbin vs. Swagger:
I miss ECW and World Champion era Swagger. Now he's the All-American Jobber.

I'm also upset we never got The Bunny vs. The Swagger Soaring Eagle.

I like Corbin's rough style.

This is a good combination of styles.

That was pretty solid!

**********************NEWS BEGINS AFTER THIS LINE***************************

At a WWE live event this weekend, Eva Marie teamed with Summer Rae, Dana Brooke, and Charlotte in a loss to Natalya, Sasha, Paige, and Becky Lynch. Eva Marie's worked main roster shows more frequently than NXT since WM32.

Mattel has released some of the first WWE Zombies action figures. There's got to be interest in an animated series/comic book with that premise.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Kevin Sullivan's been part of WWE these past few years making WWE Encyclopedias, as well as books about the WWE Championship, Undertaker, Cena, Big Show, Punk, Rey, Kofi, and Hornswoggle. Unless you're thinking of the Taskmaster. No, he hasn't worked for WWE.

2. Otunga or JBL would make sense while they see what Lawler's future will be. After the brand extension, Byron Saxton will almost definitely be exclusive to one show, so they'll have to shuffle the deck regardless of Lawler's legal issues. Corey Graves is the popular choice for heading to main roster commentary. They could also replace Lawler with Booker T. if they have to fire the King.

3. Other than Gargano, Ciampa, and Swann, none of them are under WWE contract at this time. I expect that will change for some of those other names by the end of the year.

4. The impression is that both sides want him to be join the Performance Center by the end of the year. He has offers from ROH and TNA as well, but he's expected to try to head to NXT.

5. The Miz and John Morrison! The Hart Dynasty was pretty good, too.

More wrestling tomorrow.
