WWE posted their latest monthly Key Performance Indicators on 6/23 and the most interesting number was the 107,000 buys that they did for Extreme Rules. 40,000 came from North America while 67,000 came internationally. That is less than half the number (208,000) that they generated both in 2012 and 2013 from the event. So the company is still generating PPV revenue, though those numbers will obviously change when the WWE Network rolls out worldwide. You can read the whole report by clicking here.
The image that Amazon had for the pre-order SummerSlam DVD where WWE had John Cena facing Brock Lesnar, which we reported on yesterday, has been removed from the site. From what I heard, WWE wasn't happy that image was put up. As I said yesterday, I really hope Cena-Lesnar is not the plan for SummerSlam. I think it would be a big mistake to go back to Cena at this point. New blood on top is needed.

Brian Wied sent word that WWE has unfollowed Josh Mathews on Twitter.
Chris Olesen reporting. ... I watched Tim Lincecum throw another no hitter yesterday and on the mound after it he was shaking hands with his teammates. Each teammate had a different hand shake and one of them did the YES chant motion with him. The really cool part was after the game in the locker room. Tim put on what appeared to be some sort of medieval helmet and did the YES chant for several seconds in the middle of the locker room
