Select Portions: Big E, Snitsky, Creed Brothers, MITB, Summerslam

- The currently slated Summerslam matches are Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar, Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair, Trish Stratus vs. Becky Lynch.

- AEW Dynamite finished first in the 18-49 and 25-54 demo, getting 380k and 456k viewers respectively, 855k total.

- As one would expect, WWE was extremely happy with the numbers that emanated from WWE Money in the Bank. We'll have more on this in the coming week.

- Big E was actually scheduled to participate in media at one point leading up to Money in the Bank, but it didn't end up happening. We didn't hear of any New Day members who were on the tour.

- We've not heard yet that the Creed Brothers are actually getting a call up. There haven't been creative plans put forth for them that we've heard of on the main roster.

- Regarding the rumor that Philadelphia was considered for Survivor Series, WWE sources confirmed that was never the plan

Gene Snitsky (Snisky) Notes from In The Weeds on Fightful Overbooked!

Lance Anoa’i helped bring him back to MLW. Has known Court Bauer for a long time so it made sense. Court was the one who connected him with the Samoan dynasty and training with them.

Believes he’s facing Microman at Never Say Never.

Is willing to beat up Joel Pearl.

Owns a survival store in Pennsylvania.

If he had a dollar every time he heard “It’s not my fault” he wouldn’t have to work.

Dan Madigan came up with Kane/Snitsky storyline. Is honored to be part of so many memorable moments in WWE.

“I’m a legit pro athlete, I’m not a gymnast.” Got yelled at for skinning the cat to get into the ring at OVW. Was told to just be a big scary guy. Can do more of the athletic moves and flips, but doesn’t have to.

Was always told “less is more” during his training. Wants to make everything mean something.

Kane always told him “work your style.” Thinks the problem in wrestling nowadays is too many flips and thinks people need to stick to more of their characters. “If every body is doing athletic stuff, what makes it special?”

Would tell 20 year Snisky to get a hot tub and sauna to help with recovery.

Reflects on 17 on 2 handicap elimination match. Says it was a nightmare setting it up with all the guys. Recalls getting hit in the head with a kitchen sink by Big Show and not getting his hands up.

Recalls working with Dustin Rhodes, says he’s a great guy and great in ring mind. Knows he was going through stuff when they were teaming and doesn’t hold anything against him.

Praises the Samoan Dynasty and Bloodline and how far they’ve come.
