SummerSlam, selfies and Saved By The Bell...

You'd have thought this week would have all been around SummerSlam, NXT Takeover Brooklyn and maybe a bit of WWE 2K17, with the publicity ramping up. WWE probably would have preferred it that way, but then Paige, Alberto Del Rio and Eva Marie all conspired to get Wellness Violations in the space of a couple of days.

Eva Marie will come back, though missing SummerSlam is her big punishment, but it remains to be seen if Del Rio will return at all with the rumoured out clause in his contract. Paige is something of a wild card: it probably depends on the company's perception of her, which seems a little dented.

Elsewhere it was confirmed that John Cena and Seth Rollins are WWE's biggest draws at the minute (Roman Reigns somewhat fatally ranked below Bray Wyatt, whose booking has been fudged several times). Rollins isn't bad news for WWE by any means, but with Cena winding down and taking a lighter schedule, that's not really an ideal situation.

Meanwhile there's heat for Dean Ambrose, Brock Lesnar has been calling Goldberg out again and Vince McMahon sold 1.5 million shares, inspiring further (incorrect, probably) talk that he's selling up gradually. And through it all, the superstars old and new took to social media to gear up to SummerSlam as if nothing else was going on.

Trust David Spade to give The Rock the single worst/coolest tie ever made in celebration of his work on the forthcoming Baywatch movie.

The big guy also showed off another behind the scenes shot from Fast & Furious and his mean-looking hakka.
