WWE is reportedly hoping to generate more viral moments from its live events moving forward. It was stressed that these do not necessarily need to be major angles, as even basic interactions between talent could be used to create buzz online.
Internally, WWE has touted Friday night’s SmackDown in Toronto as the highest-grossing edition of the show the company has ever held in the city.
Former TNA star Rosemary is expected to be sidelined for a significant amount of time due to an injury suffered at a recent Firestar Pro Wrestling event. No specific timetable for her return has been given.
Meanwhile, Hiromu Takahashi, the new mystery partner for Shinsuke Nakamura, has reportedly been under contract with WWE for several months.
