ESPN Covering WWE Update

It looks like ESPN will indeed be covering next Sunday’s Summerslam. Former WWE star Jonathan Coachman who now works for ESPN hinted at the idea several weeks ago, and he revealed this weekend that he will be there and not just as a spectator:

“@JoshNASCARWWE: @TheCoachESPN Will we see you on air? The masses want to know!”-I'm not going just to be a spectator. #sportscenter.

— Jonathan Coachman (@TheCoachESPN) August 16, 2015

Coach also didn’t rule out a return to WWE:

“@minks_ryan: @TheCoachESPN will we see the Coach again in WWE ring? I think you need to make a comeback”-in ring no. Return possible.

ESPN have been covering WWE’s bigger events (Wrestlemania, Lesnar’s contract etc) and they seem to be building a closer relationship. Word is that the sports based network are turning to WWE to help their ratings.

Paige Thanks Triple H For NXT

Paige thanked Triple H for creating NXT and giving the Divas a chance in a recent interview with Busted Open:

“Just seeing him come in and completely take what was then called FCW like under his wing and make it into this huge brand to the point where it sold out in Brooklyn – 15,000 people are coming to watch NXT – that’s MIND BLOWING … and it’s all because of that guy. He really wanted to make it a success and he really did, especially with the Divas. He really did give the Divas a chance in NXT – like me and Emma, the first network show that we did – he really gave us a chance on there and it just progressed. He killed it. He knocked it out of the park with it. We’re all extremely thankful for the opportunity that he gave every single one of us.”
