- Ticket sales for WWE's RAW in Las Vegas on August 18th are a little weak and the same goes for the SmackDown tapings in Ontario, California on August 26th. Ticket sales for the August 25th RAW in Anaheim are said to be going well.

- As noted, WWE will be running a rare Monday night live event on December 29th in Richmond, Virginia while the final RAW of the year is happening in Washington, DC. They are doing this because it's the week after Christmas and the best weekend of the year to draw, especially when it comes to kids.
