Update On WWE’s Plans For Another Big Change

They’re still changing. We are in the middle of one of the biggest transitional periods that WWE has ever seen and those changes are likely to continue. The changes so far have shaken things up in such a huge way and some of them have brought longstanding eras to an end. That will be the case again next year, but it is not going to be in an area many fans will get to see.

The move was delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but now the plans have been updated. The Stamford Advocate is reporting that WWE is planning to move into its new headquarters in downtown Stamford in late 2022.

That’s probably best given the circumstances and the show was such a breeze last week. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Stanford welcomes us to the show in the studio. From Raw.

<p>Ross informs that he’s going to be busy this week commentating NJPW events for AXS TV, and he says he enjoys <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/doing/" title="doing">doing</a></strong> commentary for NJPW because it’s very one-dimentional in the sense that it’s a wrestling-heavy product. He’ll also be flying to Stanford on Wednesday to do voice over work for WWE’s UK Special which will air later this week on the WWE Network</p><p>From Ross’ understanding, the UK special will be 90 minutes in length. He says he’s quite excited to do voice over work for that WWE special, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t appreciate the other commentary work he does for NJPW or any other promotions. He says that whenever he sits down at a commentary booth he gives 100% and does his best to serve the product, regardless of the style of wrestling.</p><p></p><p>Ross informs that he will be Chicago this weekend for his one-man show, but as of this recording he has no appearance confirmed for WWE’s Backlash PPV or the NXT Takeover show.

He adds that he’s just happy to be home in WWE and have a role with the company.</p><p>Ross says that his book will be coming out in October, and he has just finished confirming names to do forewords and add dialogue to it.
