10 p.m. 2.90 million viewers
The 3rd hour ended up being among one of the lowest ever and biggest drops for non-football/holiday shows since RAW moved to 3 hours. In terms of yearly comparisons, same week last year had around 650k more viewers overall.

Triple H said that Nakamura will be a key player in the company. He added that he's excited for the debut of Andrade Almas and that he will be "big player."

Triple H said "The End" title for the event has a lot of meanings, which we'll see tomorrow. He said that you can expect it to be the end of the Finn Balor - Samoe Joe series ...

The Cruiserweight Classic starts up at the end of the month. Triple H thinks it will be the premier cruiserweight tournament, and he thinks it will be an unbelievable ten weeks. He says that it will be something unlike you've seen from WWE or NXT.

He thinks the NXT roster will look a lot different after the brand split, but he doesn't know for sure. He thinks that one of the strengths of NXT is that their talent rises to the occasion whenever talent leaves for the main roster ...

About the brand split, Triple H noted that they've always had two tours and he's not sure how much everything will change ...

On Bobby Roode and Eric Young, Triple H is working on contracts for both men and said to stay tuned. He said they're both talented, and he looks forward to working with both of them ...

When asked for an update on Hideo Itami, Triple H said that he can't go too much into his medical information, but everyone heals differently, and Itami had some issues with mobility and scar tissue, and wants him to take his time and return at 100%. Nothing has changed regarding his thoughts on Hideo as a performer, and he looks forward to him returning.

Triple H was asked about doing a women's tournament, similar to the Cruiserweight Classic. Triple H said he had been throwing out ideas about it, and said that he would like to do it if the timing is right. He said it's on the table, but there are a lot of things on the table. He said that it's just an idea that spread quickly on the internet, and when they know what they'll want to do, they'll put out a statement or contact talents.
Highlights from a recent Q&A session Triple H held today as part of the lead up to tomorrow's event.

PW Insider and Fox Sports have both reported the news.

Mike Roberts, the manager of VanZant, confirmed to Fox Sports earlier today that WWE has reached out to inquire about VanZant to appear "in some capacity" on the 8/21 SummerSlam show. A WWE source confirmed the news to us that the company was looking for a role for her at the show.

Ring of Honor (ROH)'s Moose and Roderick Strong are also reportedly on WWE's radar. Both of their ROH contracts are believed up shortly.
Main source on the Tommy End news was from the Observer.

His contract with his former soccer club of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim is set to expire on 6/30, even though he was cut from the team long before that, in January of 2014. Wiese had publically talked about getting into wrestling, as the media had made comparisons of his physique to those of wrestlers.

Now there are no more League of Nations and WWE is still at the top, weaker on the heel side.

As noted last week, the WWE web site had removed the show from the schedule but as they told me, it was put back on and listed for a 7:30 p.m. start time. If they start the network show at 8 p.m., the show would end very shortly into the start of the PPV which starts at 10 p.m.

But it's not going to be a regular thing at this point.

It's not that Gallows is goofing off or not taking his job serious, it was described as a situation where his demeanor and the way he speaks lightens the mood and helps to make being backstage a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Apparently an indie wrestling show recently had to be stopped after a woman in the crowd got furious about the antics being done by a heel wrestler to the point she pulled a gun on him. http://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/...364c3ca90.html
  • Supposedly this week's episode of RAW had around 35+ minutes worth of actual wrestling with promos taking up about half the show assuming a chart recently posted online is correct. Chart itself is missing the Sami-Del Rio match though but might not be enough to drastically change the ratios. http://i.imgur.com/zuAQPrkh.jpg
  • According to the Observer, if Lesnar gets hurt at UFC 200, it could potentially cause some issues in regards to New York's Athletics Commission since there is no set precedent where a medical suspension in one sport (MMA) auto-carries over to another sport (wrestling).
  • Dean Ambrose was revealed during last night's RAW show to be this week's guest for ESPN's wrestling segment.
  • WWE recently released online the tribute video for Muhammed Ali shown during yesterday's RAW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HnVg97_O3M
  • According to reports, HBO recently hired Jason Hehir to be the director for their Andre the Giant documentary currently in production. http://awfulannouncing.com/2016/rumo...directing.html
