WWE NXT will tape TV tonight at Full Sail Live. Announced for the taping is Hideo Itsumi (the former KENTA) in his official in-ring debut plus Enzo Amore & Colin Cassidy vs. Sylvester LeFort & Marcus Louis. If you are heading to the taping, we are seeking live reports.

WWE Intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler was interviewed by WOIO-TV in Cleveland to promote the company. During the interview, which you can watch below, he admits that a few years ago, he would get angry about part-time talents like The Rock and Brock Lesnar but today he admits they are needed to get additional eyeballs on the product. Ziggler also noted that he's trying to get his hometown billing changed to Cleveland, where he is from. You can watch the interview below:

The official promotional blurb for the forthcoming "Best of Sting" WWE DVD reads, "The battle between good and evil cast a dark shadow over his soul, but through all transformations, one man remained the lone symbol of an era. Sting became “The Franchise” of WCW almost instantly when he arrived and carried the company’s banner through to its final match in 2001. Whether casting his piercing war cry into the sky, or descending from it with somber, stone-faced determination, Sting captivated wrestling fans from all walks of life. Now, celebrate The Icon with this collection of matches and moments guaranteed to strike fear into the black hearts of all evildoers." The set will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on 9/23.

CM Punk's entire section on the WWEShop website has been completely deleted.

Former WWE star Funaki was at last night's WWE NXT Takeover Fatal Four Way event. Former TNA star So Cal Val was also there.

Although it was billed as his NXT debut last night at Takeover, Baron Corbin has appeared before for the brand. This was considered his "debut" as he's getting a push and they wanted to start him off with a clean slate, so to speak.

Mojo Rawley worked last night's NXT Takeover event coming off a knee injury.

At last night's event, WWE also began selling Tyler Breeze cell phone cases as well as t-shirts for the Lucha Dragons and The Vaudevillains.
