TITUS RETURNING, WWE TAPING SMACKDOWN TONIGHT, WHY BRIE BELLA'S RETIREMENT WAS NOT MENTIONED ON AIR & TONS MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2016-04-05 09:15:00

WWE will tape Smackdown tonight in Houston, Texas.  Beyond the Vaudevillains debuting, new WWE Intercontinental champion The Miz will defend against former champ Zack Ryder.    If anyone is attending the taping, we are seeking reports!

For those wondering why WWE didn't acknowledge Brie Bella's retirement at Wrestlemania, we were told the decision was made to make that a Total Divas storyline and her exit and retirement will be addressed there in the next season of the series.

Titus O'Neil's suspension officially ends on 4/10 so he should return by next week's TV tapings.

WWE Hall of Famer Madusa noted on Twitter she was scanned over the weekend for the next WWE 2K videogame.

Paige is signing at Wizard World Comic Con Madison in the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin this Sunday at 11 AM, doing photo-ops at 12 PM and doing a Q&A panel at 1:30 PM.  If anyone attends the panel, we are seeking reports!
