The post-SummerSlam RAW from Las Vegas will see the official launch of the new WWE logo, the one that’s seen on the WWE Network.

It’s now confirmed that when the change is official, all WWE title belts will feature the new logo. WWE recently ordered new plates for all belts so the titles will appear slightly different.

It will be interesting to see how much KENTA has to change his moves when he starts wrestling for WWE.

KENTA’s Go 2 Sleep move is obviously associated with CM Punk and WWE may not allow him to use it because it will remind fans of Punk. KENTA’s Busaiku knee finisher had been used by Daniel Bryan before he got injured. His Game Over submission was taken by Bryan and is now the Yes Lock.

Finally, KENTA likely wouldn’t be allowed to use his Tiger suplex because of the fear of neck issues.

3-time Emmy winning entertainment reporter Chris Van Vliet from CBS-19 in Cleveland spoke with The Rock while Rock was in Los Angeles promoting Hercules this weekend. Here are some highlights:

Does he think Sting will be in WWE?

I do, yeah. And I know a guy or two so we’ll just put it like that. I do think he’s going to come back and I think it’s going to be great.

If The Rock returns to WWE will it be for one match or a series of matches?

It’s all of the above. The one match three or four years ago that I started talking about with Vince then turned into a three year run. So who knows? I would love to go back and figure it out. After last year’s WrestleMania the idea was I was going to set up a great match with myself and Brock Lesnar but then I got hurt so that plan got cancelled. He is now in plans to do something with ba da da da which I’m not going to say (laughs) but it should be a cool match. So whenever I do go back, if it is a match it’s just got to be right in terms of who is the marquee value player that really makes sense and at that time when I went back John Cena was the number one guy in the world so we have to see.

Would a match against Roman Reigns make sense?

I don’t know if that match makes sense now because he’s not their top heel right now, so you would look at that. Unless I went in as a heel and he was a babyface.

How he kept his appearance at WrestleMania XXX a secret:

By me not posting anything (laughs). I came in literally hours before and it’s one of those things where it was a very last minute decision. It was an amazing night and there’s no greater feeling as a performer than that connection with an audience.

errrr what's he going to use then? Sushi kicks?

[Tomwin Lannister]

Looooooooool poor Kenta, his moveset's been abused by two wrestlers who have used them to get to the top

Is the PPV tonight or am I just imagining things?

[RealGunner]

Yea it's tonight I think.

Return of BRAWKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK ffs

[Tomwin Lannister]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFS GTFI

This makes up for only getting 10 hours sleep today due to the disgusting heat problems

[RealGunner]

lmao

3-4/7 matches look decent. Main Event obviously the best part.

[Onyx]

The whole card sucks imo. Only thing that's worth watching is Lesnar probably returning and F5'ing Cena at the end.

[Onyx]

There’s a lot of speculation that WWE may drop the current storyline with Lana and Rusev after the civilian plane was shot down in East Ukraine last week and the ongoing controversies surrounding Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A similar situation happened back in 2005 when WWE nixed the Muhammad Hassan character after the July 7th bombings in London.

[Onyx]

In b4 Rusev's new dancing gimmick.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Smh they might as well just retire the foriegn heel gimmicks all together because the whole idea is they play off of a Nation that a majority of people dislike in real life, therefore in real life it's only a Matter of time before said Nation does something bad in real life

[Onyx]

[Onyx]

Beckham vs Rock WM31 main event imo.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Knowing WWE who love to make the popular outsiders look mega strong because of business, Beckham would win clean

[Casciavit]

Seth vs Dean's gonna be a great match.

[Onyx]

Rollins will win after Kane interferes. Rematch for the briefcase at SummerSlam imo.

[Onyx]

Last week we posted the leaked WWE SummerSlam commercial for Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena, as seen above.

It was noted within WWE how interesting it was that they did not mention the match being for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. We've reported how a title change is rumored for WWE Battleground tonight and this could be another sign.

For Lesnar vs. Cena, WWE is going with the idea that it's one of the greatest Superstars of all time facing the most dominant athlete of all time.

[Tomwin Lannister]

I'm excited for tonight tbh

[Pedram]

Me too, on paper the matches looks good imo.

[Onyx]

If Lesnar vs Cena isn't for the title, then what's the title match going to be? There are no other main eventers.

[Onyx]

Battleground will be live on the new and improved imo site. The imo-vvement no longer exists however. It's time for the agile gimmick.

[Firenze]

tonight? srs?

watching with you boys no homo

[Firenze]

In b4 Rusev's new dancing gimmick.

can see the bulgarian super athlete being fed to a resurgent ryback then switching to this tbh

he and jack swagger have no luck

would actually be interested in a twerking gimmick if lana gets in on it too tbh
