21-Man Battle Royal On RAW Tonight, Danielson's Future
– WWE is advertising a 21-man battle royal for tonight's tapings, which is now confirmed to be a dark match. The match will feature seven RAW stars, seven SmackDown! stars and the seven members of Nexus.
– EVOLVE sent out the following announcement today? Bryan Danielson, who just returned to WWE last night as Daniel Bryan, will make his final independent wrestling NYC area appearance at EVOLVE on September 11th in Rahway, NJ at the Rahway Rec Center, close to Manhattan. Go to www.EVOLVEwrestling.com or call 267-519-9744 for more info and tickets. Bryan will be in a one-time-only dream match against Munenori Sawa, who stole the first EVOLVE card with a hard-hitting match against TJP. This is your last chance if you are in the Northeast to see Danielson wrestle in the intimate confines of independent wrestling. This will be a great opportunity to pay homage to the "Best In The World."
