Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Why WWE Canceled Two Upcoming NXT Live Events
News broke this week that WWE had canceled the November 21st NXT live event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, this was done so that the NXT roster can work on their matches at Takeover: WarGames and Survivor Series:
The 11/21 NXT house show in Milwaukee has been moved to 2/21. They want the talent working out their weekend Takeover and Survivor Series matches.
WWE has also canceled the November 22nd event in Indianapolis for the same reason.
4) WWE Starting Their Own eSports Team?
It looks like WWE could be planning some sort of eSports gaming league or team. The company filed the trademarks “WWE SGL” and “Superstar Gaming League” on Monday, November 11th.
Here are what the official trademark filings are for:
“Entertainment services, namely, the production and distribution of an ongoing show in the nature of video games; gaming services in the nature of conducting online computer game tournaments; providing a web-based system and on-line portal for customers to participate in on-line gaming, operation and coordination of game tournaments, leagues and tours for recreational computer game playing purposes; organization of electronic game competitions; entertainment services, namely, production and distribution of a game show; entertainment services, namely, conducting live video games; provision of information relating to electronic computer games provided via the internet; entertainment services, namely, providing on-line computer games; providing ratings and reviews for video game content; entertainment services, namely, providing a website featuring games; entertainment services, namely, providing on-line reviews of computer games; gaming services in the nature of conducting online computer game tournaments; organization of electronic game competitions”
Based on the success of Xavier Woods’ Up Up Down Down channel, this wouldn’t be surprising. A safe guess is that Woods will also have something to do with this gaming team/ league.
