Possible Main Roster Plans For WWE NXT Team, The Brooklyn Brawler's Heat, Recent WWE Attendance

- No word yet on if this is still the plan because of the brand extension but WWE originally had current WWE NXT Tag Team Champions "American Alpha" Chad Gable and Jason Jordan to the main roster in the fall.

- We noted before that a mistake reportedly got The Brooklyn Brawler fired from WWE several weeks back, despite working for the company for more than 30 years. Brawler recently called into Taz's live show and there's a lot of internal speculation that led to his departure. The Wrestling Observer notes that is not the official reason but unofficially, it did not help him at all, especially doing it so close to when they were making cuts.

- Below are recent WWE attendance figures:

* May 20th in Venice, FL for NXT drew 350 fans
* May 20th in Utica, NY drew 2,500 fans (Roman Reigns tour)
* May 21st in Winter Haven, FL drew a sellout of 350 fans
* May 21st in Albany, NY drew 6,000 fans (Reigns tour)
* May 21st in Reading, PA drew 2,900 fans (Dean Ambrose tour)
* May 22nd in Newark, NJ for Extreme Rules drew a sellout of 12,500 fans
* May 23rd in Baltimore for RAW drew around 7,000 fans
