— Mike Mandato sent this in: Towards the beginning of Monday Night Raw, I was checking out the “Breaking News” section of the WWE app. It features the Battle Royal which will be held during the Night of Champions Pre-show to determine the #1 contender for Cesaro’s US title, but they put the wrong title on him at first before fixing it a little while later. Funny stuff.
— With Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve both falling on a Monday night, WWE has yet to publicly announced cities for events on 12/24 and 12/31. It’s possible they may tape shows ahead of time with the expectation that ratings would be very low due to the holiday’s. The only indication anyone has been given within WWE is that the 12/31 show could become a “Best of” and that they wouldn’t tape SmackDown on 1/1 instead running a live show later that week on 1/4.
— Local commercials are promoting the 10/1 WWE Monday Night Raw taping in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as Jim Ross Appreciation Night. Ross had teased earlier that the event would be a special night for him.
— Personally autographed copies of the new “WWE ’13” video game by “Stone Cold” Steve Austin are selling very quickly with close to 35,000 already being sold. In a random fact note regarding last year’s “WWE ’12” video game, the most popular characters played (in order) includes: Randy Orton, John Cena, CM Punk, Sin Cara, Brock Lesnar and Sheamus.
