WWE RAW
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting next week’s WWE RAW in Anaheim on February 15th is a near sell out, and it is expected to sell out, making it WWE’s first sold out RAW taping this year.
It was previously noted that Anaheim is known to be a good “walk-up” market which would help sell tickets; last week it was reported that nearly 10,000 tickets had been sold so far, with less than 2,000 remaining.
WWE Network
According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE’s potential show for lightweight wrestlers and unknown talents is ready to move forward. The Observer says the Network show is “enough of a go” that a schedule was sent out to those in the production department.
The show is rumored to focus on talents 205 pounds and lighter, and a ten episode series would feature a tournament format featuring “unknown” wrestlers that haven’t been on WWE programs before. Additionally, another show was pitched that would see indy talents make up the show’s roster, with the most over people on the show getting WWE deals at the conclusion.
