By Mike Johnson on 2016-05-30 14:09:00

Triple H announced the following NXT live dates today, with tickets going on sale 6/3:

7/14 in Indianapolis
7/15 in Cincinnati, Ohio
7/16 in Louisville, Kentucky.

The "Hatch" tease for tonight's Raw continues on social media:

John Cena should be wearing shorts gifted to him by Ellen DeGeneres on his Raw return tonight as he noted when appearing on her show that they would appear on Raw.

Sheamus discussed Smackdown moving live with Zap2It.com, noting that he was excited for the move.  He noted (and he's made the same comments in an interview with me a few months ago here for PWInsider) that there was a time where he and Daniel Bryan were only getting two minute segments on Raw but when they were moved to Smackdown, they were given the time and ability to perform and improve as performers.  To read the complete interview, click here.  Sheamus gave the comments while promoting the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, which will be released on 6/3.

NXT star Kenneth Crawford penned a blog about Memorial Day on the WWE Community website, which you can read by clicking here.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross noted that his book is on target for a 2017 release in his latest blog at this link.  I am looking forward to that one.    Ross also gave comments on the Will Ospreay vs. Ricochet match from New Japan that has everyone talking, gives memories of the UWF Title Tournament and more.  I'll be using some JRs BBQ sauce when I grill later and advice everyone to try his sauces and his Main Event Mustard.

The WWE 2K17 videogame is slated for a 10/25 release.

The 9/2 WWE return to Manilla, The Philippines will be held at the Mall of Asia Arena.  Locally advertised are Roman Reigns, Charlotte, New Day, Kane, AJ Styles, Neville (so he'll be back by then), Sasha Banks, Kevin Owens, Tyler Breeze, Zack Ryder and Bo Dallas.
