SASHA BANKS, NEXT NXT TAKEOVER DATE, DARREN YOUNG DOCUMENTARY, TRISH, AND MORE NEWS

For those who asked, WWE NXT Women's champion Sasha Banks isn't injured. I'm not sure why she didn't wrestle on the last NXT TV taping but I was told it wasn't due to injury. It may be they filmed vignettes that weren't shown to the audience live at Full Sail University.

David Otunga is backstage at the Smackdown taping.  Other than the Raw Pre-Game Show, that's the first I believe he's been around TV since Wrestlemania.

Upcoming NXT tapings at Full Sail are 6/18, 7/16, the 8/12 Takeover special on the WWE Network, 8/13 and 9/20.

The Rock's "San Andreas" opens this Friday.

A mini-documentary on a day in the life of WWE star Darren Young of The Primetime Players was recently released online:

 

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus was recently interviewed by my good friend Ken Tuccio on his great podcast "Welcome to Connecticut", which you can check out at http://welcomect.com/. The conversation is about shifting from pro wrestler to small business owner and is really good.

Our friends at RingsideCollectibles.com have extended their Memorial Day sale on action figures and more.

Peter Hoare, who writes for AskMen.com, used his forum at the site to defend his love of professional wrestling and of being a fan of the genre. You can check it out at this link.

WWE tickets for the 7/17 return to Newark, NJ go on sale this weekend.

The Auburn Citizen in Upstate New York featured a piece on WWE stars Roman Reigns, R-Truth and Jimmy Uso crashing a wedding reception taking place at their hotel at this link.  Dave mentioned this over the weekend.  A somewhat similar but different story it brought to mind was years ago, a female ECW fan got married the same night as Cyberslam 1996 and after their reception was over, the entire bridal party showed up at the Travelodge Hotel where ECW stayed at the time (a true hellhole, I assure you) to take pictures with the roster.
