BROCK RETURN UPDATE, BIG NAME HEADING TO NXT EVENTS AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2015-06-02 19:13:45

As I noted earlier in the Elite section of PWInsider.com, the word making the rounds is that Paul Heyman will be back as a regular performer on WWE TV following the Money in the Bank PPV, so that is likely an indication of when the build for Brock Lesnar's return will begin.

WWE has released a "documentary" featuring Kevin Owens, in character, backstage all day before and during the Elimination Chamber PPV. If you pay close attention, you'll see former ROH wrestler turned WWE Creative team member Jimmy Jacobs make a cameo as well at this link.

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is booked for the NXT events in Pittsburgh and Columbus, Ohio later this month. Samoa Joe, as we noted earlier, is also booked for those events.

There's been talk of Zack Ryder working NXT events later this month as well.

Sharknado 3, featuring Chris Jericho in a small role as a roller coaster operator , will debut on 7/22 on Syfy. Jerry Springer, who hosts WWE Too Hot For TV on the WWE Network, has a role in the film as well playing an Orlando tourist named Mr. White.

WWE has released a new Primetime Players t-shirt as well as lots of new merchandise for Kevin Owens.

Our friends at Ringside Collectibles sent along word that the following items are now available for pre-orders:

Mattel WWE Elite 37 including the first-ever Mattel Dean Malenko.
