It's said that WWE is learning from some of their mistakes with the WWE Network launch as they're doing beta testing with viewers for the international roll-out. They did not do beta testing for the first launch.

WWE posted another new “#WWETransformed” teaser on Twitter this morning:

“He walks in darkness… #WWETransformed”

It appears this could be for a new character coming to the main roster.

Apparently all this was some new cartoon attires for WWE superstars.

It’s said that people who work on the WWE Network are always “walking on eggshells” because there is no real direction or strategy. One example is that employees were given the order to produce the “Cougar Countdown” special when Vickie Guerrero left in June but weren’t told about it until the last minute.

There are some people working 55-65 hours per week on the Network. There’s a feeling that some Network job cuts could be coming when the next Network subscribers announcement is made this Thursday.

We’ve noted before that very few people know exactly how the Network is performing. However, it was also said that unless there’s a live pay-per-view, live NXT special or a live episode of Main Event, there’s not really huge audiences watching the programs that are being shown.

For what it’s worth, there have been several negative reports on the Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton matches from this weekend’s WWE live events in Oklahoma. The match is expected to be announced soon for next month’s SummerSlam pay-per-view.

[Onyx]

Might as well say 'there have been several bad reports on every single Reigns match' imo.

Two possible matches for WWE's SummerSlam pay-per-view are Bo Dallas vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental Title and Rusev vs. Jack Swagger in a Flag Match.

The night after SummerSlam next month on the August 18 edition of WWE RAW, there will be a complete re-branding of the company, mainly with the new WWE logo.

Well the word has been for quite some time that there will also be a new WWE Championship belt that will have the new logo embedded on it.

That will still be the case, however according to the Wrestling Observer, it wasn’t just a new World Heavyweight Championship belt that was ordered, rather the company has ordered new belts for each title.

“They’ve ordered all new championship belts reflecting promotion for the WWE Network and the new logo. It’s the logo that was first introduced in December at the WrestleMania press conference in San Jose that will be used for everything starting in a few weeks.”

In addition to this, according to WrestlingRumors.net, WWE will indeed be going back to just one championship belt. The passing of the belt a few weeks ago from Cena wasn’t an official passing, rather it was foreshadowing.

He goes on to say that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship will return to being one belt following “SummerSlam” as well.

As rumored, Cena’s gift of the “Big Gold Belt” representing the World Heavyweight Championship pre-unification to Ric Flair during the July 14 edition of “Monday Night Raw,” was to be symbolic of WWE being done with that belt.

Flair was the man that strap was created for as NWA Champion in the 1980s, which is why Cena gave it to him on his way to the ring that night.

The Wrestling Observer reports that Sting has stated on numerous occasions that there is only one match in him left and that would be against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

With Undertaker's recent loss of the streak plus his health being in danger of not recovering in time for next year's Mania, there is concern that Sting may not wrestle his one WWE match.

Sting will be inducted into the 2015 Hall of Fame and the word we are receiving is there will be a push and persuasion to have him agree to face Triple H at Wrestlemania should Undertaker not be able to make it. The word is Sting would receive a big victory over Triple H at the biggest ppv of them all.

Other names like John Cena and Bray Wyatt have been tossed around, but officials think Triple H would be the best villain to face Sting. There is still a small chance Undertaker will be in action and if so though don't expect him to be a full 100 percent.

There is still a lot of time but WWE officials are scrambling to try and get a definite answer soon from Sting on if he would be willing to accept an alternative to the Undertaker. We will keep you posted.
