WWE also averaged 5,200 fans for live events in North America in July, while the tour in Australia last month averaged 6,800 fans for the three events.

- Brian Fritz of Sporting News has a story here with WWE stars discussing the upcoming WWE 2K16 game at the Kickoff party in New York City last week, which includes quotes from Steve Austin, Seth Rollins and Sheamus.

"I'm proud as hell to be on the cover of the '2K16' video game," said Austin. "Some people said to me why did they bring Stone Cold Steve Austin back? Why didn't they use someone from the current roster? Why didn't they use Roman Reigns? Why didn't they use Seth Rollins? Everybody has their own favorites and to each his own. But when you get a phone call from the man himself saying Steve, we want you on the cover of the 2K16 video game, you don't talk your way out of that gig."
