DAVE BAUTISTA IS THE BEST, WWE DRAFT KICKS OFF FRIDAY IN CHARM CITY, A PACKED NXT 2.0 , WWE RETURNS TO PR & MORE

If you ever needed proof that WWE Hall of Famer-elect Dave Bautista is one of the best people anywhere, check out this story:

The WWE Draft will kick off this Friday 10/1 on Smackdown on FOX from Baltimore, Maryland at the Royal Farms Arena with Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns locally announced and Edge confronting Seth Rollins announced for the broadcast.  Sasha Banks will also return to Friday Night Smackdown this week after attacking Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch last night on the 2021 Extreme Rules PPV.

We have heard of manufacturing issues with the new A&E WWE Legends Biography DVD releases where the wrong packaging is reversed, so Volume 1 actually has Volume 2's DVDs when opened up.  We've had a few readers who ordered them from Amazon that have had that occur, so, be aware.

Our friends at www.HighspotsAuctions.com will be hosting a virtual signing with WWE Hall of Famer Scott Hall this Tuesday evening.  For more, click here.

Beyond Friday's Smackdown Draft broadcast and tonight's Raw episode, also slated for WWE's week are the following:

Tomorrow's edition of NXT 2.0 from the WWE Performance Center in Winter Park, Florida on the USA Network:

*WWE NXT Women's Champion Raquel Gonzalez vs. Franky Monet.

*WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong vs. Grayson Waller.

*WWE NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Io Shirai & Zoey Stark vs. Toxic Attraction.

*No DQ match: B-Fab vs. Elektra Lopez

*Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis's honeymoon.

*The debut of Lash Legend's Lashing Out.

Wednesday morning, WWE's The Bump will stream on the WWE Network, Peacock, YouTube and WWE's social media platforms featuring WWE U.S. Champion Damian Priest and Sheamus, among others, appearing.

Thursday's edition of NXT UK will feature Jordan Devlin vs. Joe Coffey on Peacock and the WWE Network.

This Saturday, WWE returns to San Juan, Puerto Rico featuring Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, Rey Mysterio, Damian Priest, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre, Big E, Sasha Banks and Seth Rollins announced.  It will be interesting to see how the company draws for that event as due to an executive order issued locally on 9/14, children under 12 are not allowed in "mass events" and would not be admitted into the Coliseo de Puerto Rico where the show is being held. 

This Sunday 10/3, WWE will hold a Supershow in Lexington, Kentucky at the Rupp Arena, featuring WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns & WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. Finn Balor and The Street Profits advertised locally as the main event.  Also listed for the event are The New Day, Bobby Lashley, Bianca Belair, RK-Bro, AJ Styles, Omos, Nikki A.S.H., Charlotte Flair and more.
