– Braun Strowman and Sasha Banks will ring the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange today at 3:56 PM ET.

– Dolph Ziggler had a Q&A on WWE’s Youtube in which he spoke about his summer, fashion, his favorite foods and more.

The New York Times has an article on Jinder Mahal’s current run as WWE Champion. It talks about what the gimmick means to WWE and pop culture.

The article reads: “Mr. Dhesi [Jinder Mahal], the first WWE champion of Indian descent, is a heel (wrestling speak for a villain), so it is his job to turn crowds into booing, angry mobs. As part of his persona, he exhorts the crowd with statements of cultural confrontation: that Americans are too clueless to realize that greatness comes from immigrants (and therefore, himself). The heated rhetoric often sounds like it would be at home on a cable news panel rather than a wrestling ring.
