Tapings will take place July 13th and 14th at Full Sail University and the first four episodes will be available on-demand on August 28th on the WWE Network. The finals of the tournament will then air on a live special from Las Vegas on September 12 at 10 PM ET.
Tammy “Sunny” Sytch remains hospitalized at Southside Hospital in Bayshore, New York after being admitted to the emergency room last weekend.
“Still here. Still getting tests done. Not fun. Someone amuse me,” she wrote on Friday.
She mentioned on Tuesday that she would not be sharing details regarding her health.
“I’m still In the hospital but I won’t be sharing any details about my health because every time I do, websites write about me and post my bloody head pictures,” Sytch wrote. “Sorry, but I can not give any details any longer. At all. Thank you all for your concern. I’ll be here for a couple more days.”
Simon Gotch has been cleared to wrestle outside of WWE, as his 90-day non-compete clause after his release from WWE has come to an end.
Gotch signed with WWE back in 2013 and was part of the Vaudevillians act alongside Aiden English. Gotch was released by the WWE back in April of this year and has asserted his intentions of working for other promotions ever since his departure.
It was reported last week that Kevin Owen’s DVD is currently a hot seller, however that may not be the case exactly.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that this story surfaced when several fans received emails from stores like Best Buy and Amazon saying that they don’t have any copies of the DVD available and won’t for several weeks. This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a hot item and could be an indication that these companies have under-ordered the DVD because the demand was slightly higher than previous WWE releases. These companies are waiting for a new shipment DVDs before the next batch becomes available for customers.
As of this writing, there is no concrete numbers available in terms of what Owens’ DVD sales are like because it’s a new release.
Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane, and they will attempt to ‘castrate the marks and their dirt sheets’.
Russo points out that this is all in good fun for him, and he doesn’t hate any of these men. Unfortunately, there seems to be some real hatred on the other side of the fence from guys like Wade Keller, Ryan Satin and Mike Johnson. To show his respect to Dave Meltzer, whose father passed away this week, Russo will not be discussing Meltzer’s comments this week.
The first clip of the day presents Bryan Alvarez ranting about the fact that WWE broke up Enzo and Big Cass. Alvarez says that there’s no wonder WWE’s ratings are declining when they decided to break up one of the more popular acts on their roster due to their constant search for ‘heat’.
Russo says that there’s something political going on in the background. He’s heard rumblings of Amore’s backstage issues stemming back to his time in NXT and that probably carried over to the main roster. Quite frankly, Alvarez is right in this case because Enzo and Cass were over, and the fans loved them. However, Russo’s smart enough to understand that heat draws money, and since Cass turned on Enzo the fans have been chanting Enzo’s name with more passion than ever before.
It looks like The Bella Twins may be getting a third reality television show.
Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s edition of the Wrestling Observer News Letter that The Bella Twins may be doing a non-wrestling show that would include topics such as cooking, fashion, and traveling. This idea for this show apparently came about after the success of their YouTube channel.
