Why Curt Hawkins Didn't Wrestle Last Night, Paul Heyman On Bill Goldberg Media Attention, WWE 2K17

- Xavier Woods' "UpUpDownDown" crew looks at the new WWE 2K17 video game in this one-hour-plus video.

- As noted, Curt Hawkins was supposed to make his in-ring TV return on last night's WWE SmackDown but that did not happen. Hawkins' match was nixed at the last minute due to time constraints, according to PWInsider. Several earlier segments reportedly ran over their allotted time, forcing later segments to be edited. Hawkins' segment was cut but the plan is for him to wrestle next Tuesday in Denver.

- Paul Heyman tweeted the following on the media attention that Bill Goldberg is receiving now that he's returning to RAW next week to respond to the Brock Lesnar challenge:

Look how dropping @BrockLesnar's name has increased @Goldberg's value ... headline on @TheWrap! What a publicity ploy! #WWE2K17 @WWEgames https://t.co/bcgrAESWiD
