WWE 2K16 LAUNCH PARTY NOTES, WARRIOR DAY TOMORROW IN BROOKLYN & MORE WWE NEWS

By Mike Johnson on 2015-08-21 10:24:31

I attended last night's WWE 2K16 Summerslam Launch party in NYC and it was a really great event. For those of you looking for details on the new WWE videogame, 2K has asked that any news and reviews be held until Monday, so you won't see anything here on the site until then. Online now in the Elite section of PWInsider are interviews conducted last night with Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, King Barrett, Dean Ambrose and WWE international announcer Kyle Edwards. You can check them out at this link.

Also in attendance were Steve Austin, Sheamus, The Bellas, Miz, The Primetime Players, Finn Balor and Xavier Woods. Woods was working the red carpet interviewing talents for his Youtube series.

Austin gave a brief speech saying that when Vince McMahon called him about being on the cover of the new videogame, he was surprised but didn't want to talk himself out of the gig because he's made a lot of bad career choices and didn't want this to be one of them.

Miz and Sasha Banks were at last night's Yankees game.

Actor Stephen Amell posted a video showing what he would be wearing when he competes at Summerslam at this link.

Stern Games has the new WWE Pinball game in display at Toys R Us in Times Square today with free games at 12 Noon.

The premise for this Tuesday's Total Divas: "Nikki claims to be the better singer, so Brie sets her up to make her national debut. Elsewhere, Paige confronts her trust issues by testing Kevin; and Nattie takes drastic measures when she fears the WWE is phasing her out."

If anyone is attending tomorrow's WWE NXT panel, we are seeking reports.

Tomorrow afternoon will be the Ultimate Warrior Day celebration in Brooklyn, NY. Here are the complete details:
