WWE Story Time season two will premiere after Raw.
This week's NXT will feature:
- Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish vs. Trent Seven & Tyler Bate (it looks like the "reDRagon" name has been dropped.)
- Lars Sullivan vs. No Way Jose
- Johnny Gargano vs. Tino Sabatelli
The Alundra Blayze documentary will debut on WWE Network after NXT this week.
Chris Jericho has launched a cruise party, because of course he has. Jericho has had one of the most unique careers in wrestling history.
New Day will be part of TruTV's "Adam Ruins Everything" this week to discuss Mt. Rushmore. I love how much appeal they have outside of wrestling.
Paul Heyman was part of pre-game coverage of an MLB game alongside Scott Stanford. Stanford is the No. 1 Broski for life.
Sasha Banks is doing a signing at a Crickett Wireless store before Raw. Sasha is more than happy to do announced signings; it's the fans who track her down at airports and hotels she has an issue with.
Goldberg's WWE 24 special will air in November, a year after his surprise return against Brock. I would have never called Goldberg being WWE Champion in 2017.
WWE Network has removed the Subscribers' Choice collection, which could mean a new collection with new choices is replacing it at some point.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's notable WWE isn't willing to feature either man as a singles star. WWE's really going to have to come up with something interesting and new for them as a team if they're ever going to be more than Bray's followers. I like the idea of them finally being free of Bray's influence and being able to do something on their own. Their minds wouldn't be clouded by whatever Bray did to them in the Wyatt Compound, so they could cut more in-depth, "intelligent" promos.
2. A jobber wing of the Hall of Fame would be interesting, but I don't know if WWE would be interested in such a thing. Maybe a yearly award for people who never gave up or something. Alternately, I could see WWE having Randy Orton induct the other members of his family, which would include Barry O.
3. WWE's going to do everything it can to prevent its workers from being acknowledged as employees/allow them to form a union.
4. I'd love to see it, but WWE will almost definitely continue to use the recognition to get appeal outside the wrestling business.
5. It's either to get a side of a story out there that isn't being publicized (e.g. wrestlers not getting paid on time), or to get their version of events across (e.g. so-and-so used their spot to BURY me!!, I/my friend was totally in the right in this story that you're being told about). Some sources are more credible than others. PWInsider generally does a pretty good job of getting both sides of things, which is important because people will absolutely spin things to make themselves look better and others look worse.
More wrestling tomorrow.
