The Smackdown crew arrived in NYC very early this morning.

The Big Show will be replacing Ric Flair at Flair's scheduled signing at Foot Locker Times Square at Foot Locker Times Square (1460 Broadway) in NYC this Saturday.  For more information, call (212) 461-5818.

WWE 2K18 will begin unveiling names for the videogame roster today.  The initial announcement will come on IGN.com as part of a partnership with that website.

The Cruiserweight championship match at Summerslam will be part of the Kickoff show.  Originally, the Hardys vs. The Revival was set for the Kickoff show as well, but Scott Dawson is out due to injury.

Dolph Ziggler will be appearing as a special guest this Friday 8/18 at the Upright Citizen Brigade's UCBW event, which is the comedy troupe ongoing pro wrestling-themed event.  I caught one of their events years ago and it was pretty funny and a lot of fun.  The show is at midnight with doors opening at 11:59 PM (seriously).  The show is $7 at the UCW Theater (307 West 26th Street) in NYC.

Sasha Banks was training yesterday at the House of Glory school in Queens, NY.

As our own Stu Carapola has been regularly covering, Asuka will officially make history tomorrow with 500 days at NXT Women's champion.

The Wall which stars John Cena was released on Blu-ray, DVD and digital yesterday.
