– Last night’s live WWE SmackDown, featuring the fallout from SummerSlam and the reveal of the new SmackDown Women’s Title and SmackDown Tag Team Titles, drew 2.714 million viewers. This is up 12% from last week’s show, which drew 2.471 million viewers and faced competition from the Olympics.
SmackDown was #3 for the night in viewership, behind The Have & Have Nots and The O’Reilly Factor, and #1 in the 18-49 demographic.
– Life & Style Weekly has an article up on their website claiming to have information from “an insider” in regards to the alleged Fast & Furious feud between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel.
Here is an excerpt from the article in regards to the alleged hoax of a feud:
In the latest issue of Life & Style, an insider reveals that while there is some truth to the recent rivalry between Fast & Furious stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel, the beef is largely a publicity stunt to amp up drama for a WWE wrestling match — and to help promote the April 2017 release of Fast 8.
“They are playing a huge prank, and it’s all for publicity,” the insider shares.
The “insider” goes on to say:
The Rock convinced Vin to amp up the drama between them so they could turn it into a WWE match to help promote the April 2017 release of Fast 8
