WWE Wrapping Up European Tour

WWE will be wrapping its current tour of Europe this weekend and below are the remaining live event dates. After this weekend, the WWE crew will return to the U.S. for Raw on Monday night in Hartford, CT and Smackdown Tuesday night in Manchester, New Hampshire:

Tonight in Paris, France at the Accorhotels Arena.

Finn Balor Update

Despite speculation that he might have been legitimately injured last night, it looks like Finn Balor was fine following his NXT Title match as he was spotted after the show walking normally. F4WOnline.com adds Balor was seen unlacing his boots while still in the ring, an indication that the injury was likely part of the match story line.

UK Media Covers Numerous Celebrities on Raw Red Carpet

As noted, England cricketer Ben Stokes served at the guest timekeeper at the WWE live event in Newcastle earlier this week. Mail Online has published an article about Stokes’ WWE appearance.

In related news, Newsweek.com has published an article noting former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand appeared on the red carpet before this past Monday’s Raw taping in London. The Mirror in the UK is reporting boxers David Haye and Anthony Ogogo also appeared on the red carpet, along with AFC Wimbledon striker Adebayor Akinfenwa, Chelsea’s Asmir Begovic, actor Shane Ritchie, rapper Lethal Bizzle and British model Oliver Cheshire.
