The ratings usually increase the day after a PPV show and this would be in the usual range. The number was down from the 3.47 million viewers the day after Money in the Bank, the most recent PPV show, so the number in and of itself is not usually large for a day after PPV show ...

They are pushing a Raw vs. SmackDown ratings theme and it would be a huge surprise if the SmackDown rating this week came close to Raw number. If it does, that would indicate stronger curiosity toward the brand split. Any number stronger than 2.7 million tonight should be considered a success.

The three hours from last night were:

8 p.m. 3.41 million
9 p.m. 3.35 million
10 p.m. 3.25 million

Turns out Cena and Styles were only advertised for the post-match show.

Probably going to be in the next set of callups around September.

In fact, Lesnar isn’t subject to WWE’s wellness policy. A WWE spokesperson confirmed to TMZ Sports that Lesnar’s part-time status means that he isn’t tested under the policy.

The WWE wellness policy requires that all talent “under contract to WWE who regularly perform in-ring services as a professional sports entertainer” undergo testing, but it doesn’t specify what constitutes regular performance.

It should be noted that an entire third season has already been filmed and completed, which brings the series up to 100 episodes. That's an important number as traditionally, that's the amount of episodes that syndicators look for when trying to license series internationally into different markets, because you are guaranteed a huge run of episodes. The third season will debut later this year on The El Rey Network.

As far as a fourth season, we are told there are plans to do one and the hope is to film sometime late Fall/early winter as long as logistics are worked out. One person told me they believed the series might begin filming again in November, but nothing is 100% confirmed in that regard.
Season 3 is currently rumored to be starting around September 10.

Good news though, we’ve learned he’s expected to take them up on the offer sometime next year.

Additionally, one well-placed source says contract offers have also been extended to TJ Perkins, Cedric Alexander, Noam Dar and Akira Tozawa. If all goes to plan, they’ll report for duty in September-October.

According to PWTorch, Kota Ibushi and Gran Metallik have inked deals as well. Ibushi has since done an interview though saying he hasn’t signed on the dotted line yet.

And lastly, tweets from Johnny Gargano and Tommasso Ciampa seem to suggest that both will soon be exclusive to WWE after finishing up their final indie appearances this summer.





Some other sheet news includes:
  • Nakamura was revealed to be this Friday's guest for the Talk Is Jericho podcast show.
  • Fox Sports recently had an article about Bayley. http://www.foxsports.com/wwe/story/w...t-asuka-072516
  • Accordito PWI, Dudley Boys have agreed on a new deal with the WWE. Their previous contract was just for 1 year which would have expired next month.
  • According to the Observer, Paul Heyman current demands for a new contract includes a lot less dates. Probably due to other projects he has going on outside of the WWE at the moment.
