WWE NXT Announced for Music Festival In California, WWE Extreme Rules PPV Buys, Big Show

– New data released by WWE shows 56,000 pay-per-view buys for the 2015 Extreme Rules pay-per-view with around 21,000 of those being domestic buys. This is down from the 2014 Extreme Rules which drew 108,000 buys. Both were available on the WWE Network but this year’s show took place during a WWE Network free month promotion.

– While Big Show did not return to WWE RAW this week, he helped light the Special Olympics’ Flame of Hope for their Unified Relay Across America. Show apparently was at the event in Washington, DC today as many were held across the country. Below is a photo:
