So who are we expecting to go "down"? I can see Ziggler going to NXT for one.

Not sure who is going down, but John Cena is off to RAW following SummerSlam, no longer booked on any SD shows at all. He's also scheduled for the RAW PPV No Mercy in September.

Wouldn't like to be sat on a plane next to Bo Dallas.

Building to Cena vs Reigns at Mania.

I think Mike Bennet could do with heading down to nxt for a bit, he could do with a better gimmick. It'd be a shame to lose that entrance music though. Curt Hawkins too, he recently lost his 100th match in a row :slol:

Bennet should have started down there in the first place. No idea why he was suddenly on the main roster straight away.

Debut ratings for WWE programming on Sky Sports Arena...

WWE SmackDown Live: 21,000 (25,000 on the 4th July; 37,000 for the 27th June)
WWE SmackDown (Saturday 8am replay): 16,000
WWE SmackDown (Saturday late night replay): 13,000
WWE RAW (Wednesday late night replay): 11,000
WWE Main Event (Wed): 13,000
WWE Main Event (Sunday): 15,000

Things not off to the best of starts. Current strategy seems to be 'lets re-air everything over and over again throughout the week in 30 minute, 1 hour and 2 hour formats.'

Sky will know but they're not made public.

I don't see the point of watching the 25 & 50 minute highlight shows on Sky because they're also on YouTube. The dinner slot of 5pm is probably kids watching.

If the figures don't include on-demand viewers they're basically useless.

Nakamura pinning Cena clean. Blatantly going to end up with him beating Mahal at Summerslam with Corbin cashing in immediately after and winning :roll:

Apollo Crews should have never came up at that time, he wasn't even over in NXT at a time when main eventers were a rare breed there.

Can never tell with Cornette if he's fully succumbed to the wrestling way of life or just a banana split.

You watch any online interview, listen to podcasts or pay attention to anyone in the wrestling industry (tends to be more 80s, 90s and 00s) on social media and you'll very quickly encounter some recurring traits and characteristics; not being very politically correct being one of them...

Big Cass is a Trump supporter BTW. Which I found interesting. There was also a story on social media last week involving Enzo and some attention seeking stripper. ZERO DIMES, apparently. Roman Reigns also threw him off the company bus for being a tosser.

Was reading bout that Cass story in the Observer the other week and how he's getting a lot of heat in the locker room for it.

There's rumours Enzo is getting punted back down to NXT.

Aye apparently on 'Bring it to the Table' on WWE Network Corey really goes for Enzo, basically saying everyone think hes a knob backstage. He is exactly as he is on tv 24/7, strawberry float. That :slol: Id throw him off a bus too.

Easily one of best shows on Network, Rosenberg asks JBL if they are told to say words on air...proceed to show announcers say "structure" 64 times during Punjabi Prison :slol:
