WWE will run back to back Raw and Smackdown tapings on 9/24 and 9/25 at The Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.

WWE will follow up last night’s Extreme Rules PPV with a live Monday Night Raw broadcast at the KeyBank Center featuring the next twist in the Brock Lesnar ultimatum story, which looks to be the beginning of the build to a Summerslam appearance.  There’s been no sign of Lesnar or Paul Heyman at Raw as of this writing. 

The Smackdown brand has a live event tonight in Reading, PA at the Santander Arena.  We are seeking live reports from Reading.

Following Raw, the WWE Network will broadcast a new episode of Table for 3 with Bruce Prichard, Eric Bischoff and JBL

WWE will broadcast Smackdown Live and 205 Live in Wilkes-Barre, PA tomorrow at The Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.  New WWE United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura will defend against Jeff Hardy in a rematch from Extreme Rules that will hopefully be better than what fans got at the PPV.  Randy Orton will also appear, following up on his return last night.  205 Live will feature Lio Rush vs. Akira Tozawa and TJP vs. Noam Dar.

Wednesday’s edition of WWE NXT on the WWE Network will feature Dakota Kai vs. Lacey Evans and a Triple Threar match with Nikki Cross vs. Kairi Sane vs. Candice LeRae to determine the Number One Contender Match for the NXT Women's Championship.  The story is that Bianca Belair will miss the match due to injury as she missed the taping date due to her honeymoon.

WWE will have an online pre-sale this Thursday at Ticketmaster.com using code DOTCOM for the Summerslam weekend meet & greets the 40/40 Club inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.  The meet and greets are $125 per ticket, which includes a professionally shot photo with the talent as well as a signed 8x10 photo.
