significant role in the promotion bringing his Creative Touch to the Forefront speaking on busted open radio Bully Ray also known as Bubba Ray Dudley shared his thoughts on the recent edition of WWE Raw he mentioned that the show used to feel cookie cutter and his co-host Dave lrea would often fall asleep while watching however Bully Ray pointed out that things have changed under Triple H's leadership with raw now keeping them in engaged and entertained how many times did you fall asleep Dave now it's been a long time since we've fallen asleep watching Monday Night Raw because the product is entertaining they're keeping us on our toes the different camera shots the different way they're presenting characters the matches yada yada everything seems to be working right now he said last night's episode of WWE Raw broadcast live from Rhode Island was the final show for the Red Brand before the Bas and Berlin event this Saturday the WWE is moving performance center WWE NXT has always been based in Orlando whether at the WWE Performance Center or full sale Arena making the Florida area closely associated with the brand and its local tours often called the coconut Loop however it seems a big change might be on the horizon with the NXT brand constantly evolving alongside the pro wrestling landscape and big events like no mercy scheduled for September 1st WWE appears to be planning a new chapter for NXT according to wrestle votes WWE's performance center is set to move from its longtime home in Orlando to a new location out west with Las Vegas being the new destination according to a source there was an all employee meeting today at WWE HQ in Stamford hosted by Mark Shapiro I'm told the biggest news to come out of the meeting is that the WWE performance center will be moving to Las Vegas in the near future the UFC's headquarters being in Las Vegas combined with nxt's use of the Apex for events like NXT Battleground hints at a closer relationship between WWE and the area Shawn Michaels has even hinted at Future involvement with Las Vegas it looks like NXT Superstars might need to relocate but it's uncertain if the entire roster will move or just certain members WWE is always evolving and expanding its Global influence so a shift in location for the performance center could bring significant changes to the black and gold brand how this move will affect WWE's Recruitment and training processes remains to be seen but it will undoubtedly have a big impact NXT began as Triple H's vision for a developmental brand but has since grown into much more moving the performance center to Las Vegas could open new doors for talent and opportunities Gable stevon fired from NFL there's been an unfortunate development regarding Gable stevon following his departure from WWE the Olympic gold medalist was released by the promotion in May after competing in only 17 matches and not capturing any titles or having a televised match on the main roster after leaving WWE stevon signed with the Buffalo Bills in the NFL however he did not make the final roster and was released by the bills today as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season despite this setback Mike garolo of the NFL Network mentioned that steveson is viewed as a developmental Prospect so this may not be the end of his football career stevon signed with WWE in 2021 making his debut introduction by Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 38 his only televised WWE match was a double count out against Baron Corbin at NXT Great American bash 2023 fellow Olympian and WWE Superstar Chad Gable the leader of the americanmade faction which includes the Creed brothers and Ivy Nile recently spoke highly of stevon in a recent interview with Gorilla position Chad Gable noted that stevon at 24 years old may have struggled with showing emotion in the ring as he is used to relying on his athletic abilities as stevon navigates this transitional period his background as a standout athlete leaves the door open for future opportunities both in football and possibly back in the wrestling ring I don't know if that's what it was that for him because the physical part of it I can't imagine that was a problem for him he's a freak athlete in like the next level sense of the word so hopefully whatever he decides to transition into football I hope he does very well but for some people amateurs athletes and other sports person they find out it's not for them Gable said Gable stepson's brother Damon Kemp has also left WWE it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Gable stevon and whether he can find success in the NFL MVP shares serious medical updates MVP has provided a serious update on his health following his recent exit from WWE MVP first made a

success in professional wrestling particularly as the United States Champion has surprised many fans although he lost the title to La KN at SummerSlam 2024 he isn't done with WWE yet however controversy often surrounds him and he recently responded to claims that he pushed his dog off a boat in a viral video a video from four years ago resurfaced showing Logan Paul's dog Broly jumping off his boat the footage sparked controversy with some people speculating that someone might have pushed the dog because a hand was seen in the frame just before the Husky jumped raising concerns about the dog Safety near the boat's rotor the ambiguity of the video fueled these speculations Logan Paul quickly addressed the claims on Twitter firmly denying that he would ever push Broly off the boat he referred to an old YouTube comment where he had already explained the incident stating that the hand in the video was actually behind Broly petting him and that they tried to grab the dog after he jumped Paul emphasized in the comments that they would never push Broly off the boat he clarified that Broly jumped on his own and that the hand seen in the video was simply petting him Paul added that they attempted to catch Broly after he jumped but the dog's body language clearly showed that the jump was his own decision we would never ever ever push Broly off the boat he jumped and a hand was behind him petting him and when he jumped we attempted to grab him but for a fact we did not push him watch his body language and you can very evidently see a self-induced independent jump from the little mut thanks for coming to my TED talk to further clarify Paul shared slow motion video showing that the hand was not in contact with Broly before the jump and that the hand reached out to grab him afterward he also had a scathing message for those who continued to make such claims four years later and still go f yourselves Logan Paul tweeted out during his backstage Report podcast Logan Paul was asked whether Logan Paul is getting any heat over that dog video he echoed Paul's own response as he stated nope he explained that it was also 4 years ago this isn't the first time Logan Paul has found himself in trouble lately his comments about Algerian boxer Iman Kell being a man sparked a lot of controversy leading WWE to distance themselves from those remarks as they did not support them we'll have to wait and see how long Logan Paul stays off WWE television he certainly has a lot going on with prime facing lawsuits and a controversial lawsuit against coffeezilla in Texas Federal Court to avoid anti-s slap laws stay tuned for more updates on these Logan Paul stories as there are sure to be more developments what are your thoughts on Logan Paul's activities outside of WWE the new bloodline is turning on solo seoa the Bloodlines tomat Tonga recently posted a picture on social media featuring his faction mates but their leader solo seoa was noticeable

Chief Roman Reigns made his much anticipated return to WWE programming by interfering in Solo seo's title match against Cody rhods at SummerSlam the original tribal Chief continued his attack on seoa Faction on the following Smackdown however the next week the heel faction managed to turn the tables and take out Reigns on a recent episode of the wrestling Matt former WWE host Matt Camp commented on the Bloodlines brutal attack on Roman Reigns Camp felt that the attack was necessary stating that the former Undisputed WWE Universal Champion is on a different level from the rest and having the bloodline take him down helped to elevate the faction no one's on Roman's Reigns level but with what they did to Roman it put them on a higher level that they need to be on it's got to be close to an even playing field and with Roman as a baby face that's got to happen would Roman need a finisher here or there in feuds of course he did all that I'm talking about being laid out mess up beaten down and there may still be people who say I don't care I don't believe it these guys aren't going to keep Roman down and that's fine it is an uphill battle he said the solo seoa Leed group has now taken out the original bloodline members Roman Reigns Jimmy Uso and Paul hayon it's unclear whether the former Shield member will team up with the Usos to take revenge on his former enforcer and his faction
