– WWE’s next pay-per-view event Vengeance is just weeks away on Sunday 10/23 – and WWE is planning to use next week’s RAW and SmackDown to do the major set up for the event.
WWE will be in Mexico for the RAW and SmackDown tapings the week before Vengeance and those shows are being looked at as “special” international TV tapings and not the usual “go-home” shows before a PPV.
Both RAW and SmackDown talent are expected to appear on both shows heading into Vengeance.
– WWE will be doing their annual Tribute To The Troops special once again and this year’s taping has been scheduled for Sunday, December 11th, 2011 at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
– As WWE heads to Asia in the coming months for a live tour, the company is looking to run live events in China, but the government approval process is very strict.
UFC has had similar difficulties dealing with Chinese authorities and expecting to finally hold an event from China in 2012.
