Brock Lesnar Set For More Post-PPV RAWs, Miz Talks Being A Heel At WWE TTTT, Stars At Rally Video

[Prince Bálor]

- WXYZ ABC in Detroit posted the story above about Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Natalya hosting a Be a STAR anti-bullying rally at Fraser middle school before RAW last Monday.
- ArmyTimes.com has an interview with The Miz here, who was promoting tonight's Tribute to the Troops show on the USA Network. Remember to join us at 8pm ET for our Tribute to the Troops Viewing Party. During the interview, Miz was asked if he needed to alter his heel persona for the show.

"You always go off what the audience is doing," Miz said. "Me, I never consider myself a bad guy. I consider myself a good guy. Now, the audience thinks differently. They love to boo me. ... [Service members] just want to be a part of the show that they see every week, so we're going to give them that show. So if I go out there and they're booing me, guess what? I'm going to make you boo me louder, you know, so when their hero or the person that they love comes out, they're going to cheer them even louder. ... You make it extra special for them. You want to leave them with memories that will last a lifetime."

- Sportstown Chicago also interviewed The Miz here.

Do the newly-advertised dates mean Brock signed a new deal with WWE or does he just have that many contracted dates left on his current one?

Not that I think any of us have the answer to that question, but it was my first thought on seeing that part of the story.

I'm guessing the former. They've been announcing more and more appearances for Brock over the past 3-4 weeks and this is likely just them still configuring which shows they want him to appear on.

Leaving him off of television for the past three months would have surely preserved quite a few of his dates. That, or they're just paying him extra to show up more. I expect him to re-sign regardless, or at least agree to work a match with someone at the illustrious Wrestlemania 32 show in 2016.
