Cesaro vs Kevin Owens, Rusev vs Dolph Z and Randy Orton vs Sheamus could be added as they do have time to fill.

I really hope Sheamus gets in on this somewhere. I was disappointed he had no match on Monday.

I think it'll be full blown for Sheamus Orton now that Cena has been cleared to Wrestle. They've 4 hours to fill and need star power to fill those hours!

I'm predicting that Sheamus cashes in, but somehow leaves with the US title only.

How can they think throwing nine random divas together helps the revolution. It's back to the days of throwing a load of women in one match just to get them on the card.

Compare with the proper feuds that the women have on NXT and you wonder how this is the same company.

The names of the groups will tell how much effort they're putting into this.

Yeah because of them I can't search for "Submission Sorority" without getting back loads of images of the divas first. They ruined everything!

That there even are three named teams of three women wrestling (yes, even the Bellas) shows that there is some effort being put towards the division.

As I said previously, the fact they didn't even bother running a Google search before the let Team Paige announce their new name shows they really aren't that bothered by this "Revolution"...

it's all just a smart way to make sure NB doesn't have to defend her title, and passes AJ's record reign.
and yes, Vince is that petty.

If they're going to continue using the term 'diva' then there's no revolution. The NXT supercard matches are often great but the weekly TV show matches are so-so.

They're building this "revolution" around the fact that they're giving the women more TV time rather than around match wins and losses leading to the title meaning something. They see Ronda Rousey getting mainstream attention for her abilities rather than her breasts n' buttocks and they want in on that.

Maybe they'll make a big deal when one of the NXT'ers beat the Bella for the belt.

Stephen Amell, who is scheduled for a tag team match at SummerSlam, was injured in doing a weight workout this morning.

According to a video he posted, Amell was doing a snatch, which is a lift where you take the bar from the floor to overhead without pausing at the shoulders (which would be a clean and jerk or clean and press). When doing the lift, he ended up smashing the bar into his jaw.

He suffered a cracked jaw, his molars were indented into his tongue and his tongue was swollen. No word on how this may or may not affect his match next week.

Whoops

J. Marston

Well, shít. I was looking forward to Amell's appearance.

I'll still take eleven Divas having an active role in storylines while it lasts.

As awful as the Lana/Summer Rae thing is.

It was announced on Monday by USA Today that Jon Stewart will be appearing at SummerSlam this Sunday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and serve as the official host for the show.

Stewart just wrapped up his hosting duties for "The Daily Show", a show that he has hosted since 1999 and this will be his first major appearance since stepping down from the show.

Four hour show so they probably need something.

Is it Sheamus vs Ziggler or Sheamus vs Orton that we've seen a ridiculous amount of times on TV?

Amell and Stewart, two likeable celebrities who get wrestling. WWE, you are spoiling us.

Dolph v Sheamus matches can be good fun, if a little predictable (what Dolph and Sheamus matches aren't:P) but Sheamus v Orton is a snooze. Neither guy will do anything wrong, but its never that exciting of a match.

I hate the tagline the rematch too big for WrestleMania, so big you put it on your second biggest show of the year so... Yeah ok mate.
