Once again, celebrities are joined by their families as they compete in a head-to-head contest to name the most popular responses to survey-type questions posed to 100 people, and the contestants can win money for a charity of their choice.

In their game, The Bellas will be playing alongside their brother JJ Garcia, mother Kathy Laurinaitis and cousin Lauren Jennifer Garcia for The V Foundation and Connor's Cure. Their opponents ? Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Tyron Woodley, Ilima Lei Macfarlane and Ryan Bader ? will be competing for the Andy Vargas Foundation.

- As noted earlier today, WWE issued a storyline update on the Roman Reigns mystery attack from Tuesday's SmackDown, noting a preliminary investigation revealed that the backstage incident was caused by a forklift carrying lighting grids that were not properly secured.

They have since posted two more storyline updates, noting that the incident was specifically caused by a forklift driver error, but the identity of the driver has not been determined.

It's been reported that the angle on SmackDown will lead to Reigns facing Daniel Bryan at WWE SummerSlam on August 11. It looks like Bryan will be revealed as the forklift driver.
