Dolph Ziggler is being advertised for next week's Raw and Smackdown tapings, so it looks as if he will be returning, at least in a non-physical role next week. Ziggler was specifically advertised locally for the 6/4 Smackdown taping at the Nassau Coliseum, but not for wrestling in the dark match main event. That bout is currently advertised as Randy Orton & Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett & Jack Swagger.

Speaking of the Nassau Coliseum, there are a number of entertainment companies currently researching ways to reinvigorate and remodel the aging venue once it loses its primary tenant, the New York Islanders after the 2014-2015 NHL season as the team will be moving to Brooklyn. There is talk of building a new venue next door and demolishing the current venue and in downsizing the venue down to 13,000 seats from 17,500 while creating a smaller concert space as well. Once different ideas have been pitched, decisions will be made about the future of the venue, which housed a portion of Wrestlemania 2, as well as the first Saturday Night's Main Event taping and Brock Lesnar's first WWE title win.

Mick Foley's first headlining date at Carolines in NYC on 6/2 is almost sold out.

The new WWE signings have been told they need to report to the Orlando area by early July.
