Seth Rollins' ESPN appearance was to begin WWE 2K18's hype campaign. Rollins is the centerpiece of the marketing this time, along with Kurt Angle.

The Ric and Charlotte Flair book Second Nature will release September 19, pushed back two months from its originally set launch date. Charlotte's getting every chance to be a major player, and not just "for a woman."

WWE TLC will be a Raw-brand event on October 22 in Minnesota. I'm not crazy about contrived gimmick PPVs, especially with Survivor Series the next month. If anything, TLC should be the rematches from the big November PPV.

John Cena will be at Battleground on July 23. I wholly expect him to be an important presence in WWE this summer, although I wonder what they'll do with him because I don't expect him to be champion again this year. Braun and Joe are pretty interesting opponents for him. I hope neither would be thrown under the bus against the franchise of WWE.

- Cena has been announced for Smackdown TV on July 11, July 18, and July 25 as well as a July 15 Raw live event and Summerslam. He will absolutely be hitting the ground running it looks like.

-- Cena could be replacing Roman Reigns from July 14-16 on Raw live events. I assume Roman's getting some time off unless they're putting him on some Smackdown shows for some reason.

Becky Lynch discussed the Mae Young Classic and more. I'm also excited to see how Baszler will do. She'll definitely add a different dimension to things.

Matt Hardy teased the BROKEN gimmick again. He's smart to keep stoking it, but there's no guarantee it will come to pass.

Finn Balor talked in Singapore as part of WWE's press there.

Lance Storm was backstage at a WWE live event this weekend. His training school is pretty well-regarded.

Sasha Banks promoted a Raw show in the Philippines.

Al Snow, Pat Kenney, and Shane Helms are all leaving Impact as the company cuts back on the number of producers in a financial move. None had been used since April, although Kenney and Snow had pretty solid tenures in the company and Helms had received great reviews since joining Impact in 2015. Abyss and Sonjay Dutt have been pulling double duty by picking up producer duties, so Impact saw less need for the three veteran workers. I'll definitely miss Snow and Helms as on-air characters, although Snow hadn't been on the show in a while. I would have been all for Helms winning the X-Division Title at one point to work with the younger names, but I have some faith in the new regime given how they've recently booked Low Ki and Sonjay as characters instead of just throwing multi-man match after multi-man match at us. We'll see how that holds up.

- Shane Helms and Al Snow tweeted after the news went public.

NXT will run multiple shows in California in August.The brand will be hitting both coasts pretty close to each other.

WWE has created a new position for live event vignettes and promos, so it looks like that will be more of a priority in the future.

Dean Ambrose beat The Miz in a non-title match after Raw. Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel helped their new friend out, but Dean still stood tall at the end of the night. That's a good sign for Dean; they could have had Roman or Seth close the taping instead.

Charlotte returned to live events Monday night. I wouldn't read anything into that, though, since she was on the road for MITB and the next night's Smackdown.

Spike in the UK had issues showing Impact's latest One Night Only show. Things are off to a bumpy start in some ways there; I hope the issues are sorted out soon.

Brock Lesnar has been added to Raw on July 31 and August 14. I'm curious what he'll be doing at Summerslam. Ditto for Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, and Roman Reigns. The Universal Title picture has gotten interesting.

Daniel Bryan talked about MITB, Cena, and more:
- Sounds like Ellsworth's win got the desired heel reaction.

- AJ's taken some really wild bumps.

- Bryan's a straight-shooter, for better or worse.

- Lana's got a lot of work to do to reach the level of most wWE women. She's still starting out; that's to be expected.

- I hope we get to see something special for Smackdown in exchange for Cena being a free agent, but I won't hold my breath.

- Harper's definitely really good, but it's going to be an uphill battle making him stand out from being Bray's former teammate.

- I also want to see American Alpha more. They're in a tough spot with New Day and Breezango there.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. They've got a show to sell in a few weeks. They're not going to give everything away on Raw. Otherwise there's not a lot left for Great Balls of Fire. No complaints at all on my end.

2. Bayley the hugger and hero to six-year-olds doesn't want to use a violent weapon because she's a pure-of-heart babyface. Although this looks to be changing as HHH gains power, WWE's marketing to the Disney audience, not edgy millennials.

3. If Brock and Joe don't get out of the ring, the other wrestlers can't have their matches. So, it's in their interest to get those two out of there so others can settle their own grudges.

4. WWE intentionally had The Revival "get caught on camera" after the attack to set up them being the ones attacking Enzo and Cass. I would have been fine with that direction, but they went for a swerve. We'll see if the hipsters like them not being "predictable" or if they'll complain about this, too. I have a hunch it will be the latter. It always has been in the past.

5. He got booked for some shows in Jersey, but no CZW return at this point.

More wrestling tomorrow.
