– WWE is adding the infamous “Black Saturday” to the WWE Network tomorrow. The WCW episode will be added to the Hidden Gems section according to WWE Network News.

“Black Saturday” took place on July 14th, 1984. It was when Vince McMahon bought Georgia Championship Wrestling’s timeslot on TBS. The incident shocked and outraged fans and the resulting backlash led to WWE being ousted from the timeslot within a few weeks.

– WWE’s latest poll asks which Smackdown champion is in most jeopardy of losing their title at WWE Extreme Rules. As of now, the results are:

SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella vs. Asuka: 39%
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers vs. Team Hell No: 30%
United States Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Shinsuke Nakamura: 21%
WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Rusev: 11%
