WWE's Creative Team extremely busy

WWE’s creative team has a VERY busy next few weeks ahead of them. Following the three-hour Monday Night RAW and SmackDown! tapings this past week on 6/13 and 6/14, the company has the Capitol Punishment PPV tonight, another three-hour RAW this Monday, SmackDown! tapings on Tuesday and then must prepare for double RAW tapings on 6/27 in Las Vegas and the double SmackDown! tapings on 6/28 (Phoenix) and 6/29 (Tucson). The team will be given time off after that, which will include the July 4th holiday weekend while the WWE crew heads overseas for a tour of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Of course, this means it’ll be crazy busy on our website as well. Stay tuned and check back in often!!

What is WWE owed for PPV events?

According to a source, as of the end of March 2011, WWE was owed $10.2 million by several pay-per-view distributors. They are owed for events that have already taken place. This just goes to show you how big the delay is for all companies that run events on PPV.

WWE Pay-Per-View Renamed!, John Cena note

– WWE’s Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view event has been renamed Capitol Punishment, according to the official website of Cineplex Odeon Theatres. The event takes place on June 19, 2011 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. (Please note that wwe.com hasn't changed the name of the event, so we'll see.)

– As noted earlier here on the website, John Cena claims he suffered a concussion on RAW during his bout against Alberto Del Rio or from The Miz’s multiple mic shots to the head during a post-match attack. “Sorry I have been away. Concussion on mon night from either del rio kick or mic shots. Took and passed IMPACT exam, rtg for fri!” Cena wrote on Twitter on Thursday. He then followed up with this tweet: “Folks must take, and pass, post concussion in order to go back 2 work. I’m good and headed to CT.”
