Usos At Survivor Series, Coach On ESPN Not Covering WWE Like A Sport, WWE Germany Event Nixed
- As of this writing, WWE still has not announced participants for tonight's 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination Match. We noted earlier that Kalisto and Sheamus indicated they will be in the match. The Usos have also tweeted about being in the match.
- F4Wonline.com reports that a WWE Germany event was canceled this past week due to the terrorist attacks in Paris and a bomb threat in Hannover, Germany, that ended up being a hoax. The fan viewing event was to be moderated by WWE Germany TV announcer Sebastian Hackl and was promoted by WWE TV partner ProSeiben. The network said there was no specific threat against the event but they canceled it due to the rising threat of terrorism. It's worth noting that they only had 80 tickets sold to the event but claimed the cancellation was not due to ticket sales.
- Former WWE announcer and current ESPN anchor Jonathan Coachman tweeted the following on ESPN's weekly "Off The Top Rope" segments on WWE that have been doing well in the ratings:
For those of you loving the @wwe off the top rope, and there are many thank you. For those speculating on what's next. Stop. You don't know

And that's all it's meant to be. We are NOT covering it like a sport. Never were never will. It's fun. Period. https://t.co/XScxfDPQb3
