Before we go any further, I just wanted to take a moment on behalf of everyone here at PWInsider.com and congratulate Jose Perez, who covers Puerto Rico here on the site, on the birth of his first grandchild over the weekend.

After tonight's Raw taping in Albany, NY, WWE will tape Smackdown and Main Event tomorrow in Providence, Rhode Island.

I heard from a few WWE sources last night that when the WWE crew landed in Albany, NY following the flight back to the United States, there was a pretty sizable group of fans waiting in the baggage claim area trying to get photos and autographs. I was told that Randy Orton pretty much "berated" the fans for bothering the wrestlers after an extremely long flight and tour and in a lot of ways, he was right. I totally understand fans wanting to get their items signed and wanting photos, but there's a time and place for that and after an 18 hour flight that concludes a grueling European tour....not the time and place.

Miz and Summer Rae will be doing a lot of media to promote the new "Marine" movie in NYC tomorrow. The film will be officially released on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow as well. The plot of the film: "Jake Carter (Miz) must protect a beautiful whistle-blower (Rae) from a team of heavily armed mercenaries sent by a corrupt defense contractor."

In a follow-up from yesterday, fans who purchaed Paige tickets for Wizardworld in Las Vegas began receiving emails offering refunds.

Nikki and Brie Bella are on the cover of the new issue of Muscle & Fitness Hers magazine.

Tickets for Jim Ross' One Man Show on Saturday 8/22 in NYC at the Gramercy Theater go on sale at 12 PM today via Ticketmaster.com.

Funko will be releasing an exclusive Brock Lesnar Pop Vinyl figure via Wal-Mart shortly.

WWE NXT will be taping TV this Thursday at Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida. Jim Ross noted in his most recent blog at JRsBarbQ.com that he'll be in attendance at the taping.

The Mick Foley One Man Show will be taped for the WWE Network this Friday 4/24 at Full Sail Live in Winter Park, FL. JBL and Jim Ross will both be appearing as Foley's guests.

Roman Reigns is signing today at 1 PM at the FYE at the Crossgates Mall (120 Washington Avenue) in Albany, NY, with the purchase of a WWE item. The autographs will be limited to only a few hundred, so if you want it, get there early.

The legendary Ice Cube comedy "Friday" will be having a special screening in theatres via Fathom Events as it is 4/20. The former Zeus, Tiny Lister, is the villain of the film, Debo.
