– A lot of fans were pretty excited to see Ambrose make his return, but it was unavoidable how much more muscular he looked. WWE apparently noticed Dean’s transformation as well because it was the theme of a recent social media post from the pro wrestling giant.
– Elias announced on Twitter today that his concert planned for Saturday night at The Gramercy Theater in New York City has been postponed. He is still scheduled to perform at SummerSlam on Sunday and it sounds like that performance will now be an extended version.
Tickets for the concert are still listed on Live Nation for $20 and $42 but WWE has pulled the page from their website. It’s likely that the event will be removed from Live Nation soon. No word yet on why the concert was postponed but it could be due to ticket sales. The concert was scheduled to begin at 5:30pm on Saturday night.
WWE Management insisted I postpone my solo concert this Saturday in New York City, however they have given me the opportunity to perform that concert live at Summer Slam.— Elias (@IAmEliasWWE) August 16, 2018
