Ambrose on live events, more All In battle royal participants, WWE expands Australian TV deals, assorted WWE/Summerslam press, Interview with Stephanie, Tenille discloses diagnosis, and NXT live event note

Dean Ambrose has been added to Raw's international tour beginning at the end of the month. He'll team with Seth Rollins against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. No surprises there.

- Ambrose is also being advertised for Hell in a Cell in that same match. As always, plans could change between now and then.

All In's Over Budget Battle Royal has added Brian Cage, Billy Gunn, and Jimmy Jacobs. That's quite the interesting combination.

WWE is continuing their Australian TV deals for Raw and Smackdown Live in one-hour versions. I'm curious how Super Show-Down will affect WWE's standing in the country.

Mauro Ranallo promoted this weekend on Edge and Christian's podcast.

Stephanie McMahon discussed branding and more.

Seth Rollins spoke before Summerslam. The interviewer totally tried to stir the pot on the Brock situation. Funny stuff. The comments about not having part-timers forever was a smart one, but I don't see WWE changing on that front anytime soon. I honestly think there's a skepticism that guys like Rollins can carry the torch as well as guys like Brock, Angle, Rock, etc.

Big Show has been named as a Special Olympics Global Ambassador. That's pretty cool.

Samoa Joe was part of a big WWE documentary. It's crazy they didn't save that for the Network.

Charlotte Flair promoted Summerslam on ESPN. It's just a matter of time before we see Charlotte vs. Ronda.

Tenille Dashwood discussed the health issue preventing her from working Honor Reunited. I wish her the best.

NXT UK's Zack Gibson defeated Dominik Dijakovic at NXT's August 17 live event in New Jersey. Dijakovic has been toiling away quite a while it feels for someone who was already on ROH TV.

More wrestling tomorrow.
