As noted earlier today, WPIX 11 News teased that there will be some sort of “breaking news” announcement to be made by Paul Heyman regarding SummerSlam tonight.
In an update, Scott Stanford confront Heyman and it was revealed that Heyman will be Jim Ross’ surprise guest for his “One Man Show” during SummerSlam weekend. Here are the event details:
The RINGSIDE with Jim Ross Show in NYC Summer Slam will take place on Friday night August 18 at the Gotham Comedy Club, 208 West 23rd St between 7th and 8th avenues, with a VIP meet/greet/photos from 5;30-6:45 with the show starting at 7:30 pm.
Additionally, Heyman and Stanford talked about Lesnar’s WWE and possible UFC future, stemming from rumors of a super fight with Jon ‘Bones’ Jones, and Heyman’s own comments on WWE RAW this week. Stanford asked if Brock would really leave WWE if he ‘dropped the belt’ at Summerslam and asked if this was legit, and Heyman joked and said it’s a title, but added that he was authorized by Brock himself to make the statement and it still rings true. Heyman said he’s upheld stipulations while he ran ECW turned down storylines before (and might get into that if he one day writes a book), but he and Brock are prepared to leave WWE if Brock does not leave Summerslam with the title.
Stanford asked if Brock did leave WWE if it meant he would entertain a fight with Jones, and Heyman said Brock said all he has to say and Stanford should refer to Brock’s quote to the Associated Press regarding his MMA future.
After Jones called him out following his UFC 214 fight, Brock responded by saying: “Be careful what you wish for, young man.”
