– Prior to Saturday night’s NXT Takeover: Brooklyn live special from the Barclays Center, WWE will tape matches for next week’s episode of NXT TV. The next batch of tapings will take place the following day (8/25) from Full Sail University.
– WWE SmackDown’s authority figures Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan took at dig at the RAW brand and the new Universal Championship while backstage at Tuesday’s SmackDown. Daniel Bryan mocked the “Universal” name on a recent edition of SmackDown Live, but now he and Shane are showing off a design suggestion for the new belt.
Surprisingly, WWE has not yet unveiled the Universal title, which will be awarded to the winner of the Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor match at SummerSlam. A lot of wrestling fans are passionate about belts and a big deal could have been made over the design reveal to help the viewership of Monday’s RAW.Maybe we’ll see something prior to Sunday.
