Rumor Roundup: The Original Plans For The Top Matches At Summerslam, Concern In The WWE Locker Room, More

3) Vince McMahon Leaves Early During RAW Taping

According to a report from Ringside News, Vince McMahon left early from the most recent taping of Monday Night RAW.

Here is what the site wrote:

Ringside News has learned that Vince McMahon didn’t stick around for the entire tapings. He left a little bit after the second episode of Raw started filming.

It is unknown where he went, or what he had to do. They carried on without him and finished the tapings as planned.

One source in the company stated to Ringside News, “I wish I could have left early,” The Superstars and staff had to stay for the duration of the tapings, but Vince McMahon got to leave.

My Take:

  • This seems unusual but maybe it was just a rare thing. We will let you know if more reports come out about this becoming a pattern for him.

2) Update On Gabe Sapolsky’s Future In WWE After The EVOLVE Sale

As noted prior, WWE recently purchased the EVOLVE promotion. According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Gabe Sapolsky will now be working as a full-time member of the NXT creative team.

Sapolsky was one of the (two) owner’s of EVOLVE:

Gabe Sapolsky will not be involved any longer as he is expected to be working full-time for WWE as part of NXT creative.

My Take:

  • EVOLVE has been able to develop a lot of good talent, so Sapolsky seems to have a good eye for it. He should be an asset for WWE moving forward.
