3) Another NXT Superstar Backstage At RAW
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Vanessa Borne from NXT was backstage at RAW this week in Brooklyn.
It was previously noted that Matt Riddle was brought to RAW for a meeting. Bianca Belair was also backstage in order to support her husband, Montez Ford. It is currently unclear why Borne was brought to RAW.
My Take:
- Maybe Borne is someone to watch out for in the Wrestlemania Women’s battle royal this year? We will have to wait and see but that seems like an option.
2) Update On WWE’s Return To Saudi Arabia
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE was originally thinking about doing the next Saudi Arabia PPV on August 20th. Since this was only a few days away from Summerslam, those plans have been scrapped.
The new plan is for an event to take place in late October or early November:
WWE is already working on their return to Saudi Arabia, PWInsider.com has confirmed. At one point, a date of Thursday 8/20 was pitched (believed to be for an event in Jeddah) but with the close proximity to Summerslam weekend and the likelihood that temperatures would soar into the 100-120 degree range, that idea was shot down.
Currently, they are looking at a return in late October or early November.
My Take:
- I am glad that they aren’t doing one of these PPV events so close to Summerslam. It would have taken away from the build to Summerslam and we don’t need that at one of the biggest shows of the year.
