Titus Brand, the WWE stable run by Titus O’Neil has been officially renamed to “Titus Worldwide”. The name change was made official after 205 Live Superstar Akira Tozawa joined the faction last night on RAW. The stable now has Titus O’Neil, Apollo Crews and Akira Tozawa as its members.
WWE Superstar Titus O’Neil started his “Titus Brand” gimmick in September 2016, which ended up turning into a stable when Apollo Crews joined it after the Superstar Shake-up. O’Neil approached several other Superstars to become a part of the new faction and eventually succeeded in convincing Akira Tozawa to do so.
The Titus O’Neil-run faction “Titus Brand” has officially been renamed to “Titus Worldwide” now that Japanese Superstar Akira Tozawa has joined it. Titus has been using the hashtag #TitusWorldwide on his social media posts for the past few days as well. He made the announcement about the name change during an appearance on last night’s (26th June 2017) edition of RAW, where he interrupted a confrontation between WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville and Akira Tozawa.
Titus stated that he had finalised a match between Neville and Akira Tozawa for the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view and also added that Tozawa was the latest signing of the “Titus Worldwide” brand.
Akira Tozawa will be taking on WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville at the inaugural Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view on 9th July 2017 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.As far as Titus O’Neil is concerned, he is next headed to Singapore for WWE’s RAW-exclusive Singapore Live Event that is scheduled to take place on 28th June 2017 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The addition of Akira Tozawa to the Titus Worldwide (Titus Brand) stable has given the faction a whole new dimension altogether. Although the stable sounded like a corny idea at first, O’Neil has made it work with his charisma and mic skills and it seems like Titus Worldwide could indeed be headed towards a decent run in the WWE!

WWE No Mercy 2017 findet am 24. September 2017 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien statt und wird ein RAW PPV sein:
ZitatAlles anzeigenNo Mercy 2017 pay-per-view time, date and brand details
Monday Night Raw announced that the Raw will return to the Staples Center in Los Angeles for the Raw Exclusive pay-per-view, No Mercy.The No Mercy pay-per-view will take place on September 24, 2017, but the pre-sale for the tickets will begin on July 13, 2017 at 10:00 AM on AXS.com.
The No Mercy pay-per-view was created during the Attitude Era and first took place in Manchester, England. Once the Brand Split was initiated, the pay-per-view became a SmackDown exclusive show from 2002 to 2007 when the WWE made all pay-per-views Supershows which included both brands.
When the Brand Split was revived in 2016, No Mercy was revived as well and was once again made a SmackDown exclusive event.
The next No Mercy pay-per-view will mark the first time since the initial Brand Splits that the show will be a Raw exclusive show. This is similar to the WWE reviving Backlash as a SmackDown Exclusive pay-per-view despite it historically being a Raw-exclusive show.This will be the first Raw pay-per-view following SummerSlam and will give the WWE four weeks to build to the show.
Since this pay-per-view comes after SummerSlam, this show will more than likely see new feuds and matches take place instead of the usual match continuation that accompanies most pay-per-views.There’s no news on whether Brock Lesnar will be the Universal Champion by SummerSlam, so the pay-per-view may not even feature the Universal Championship.
The WWE generally have put on good shows at the Staples Center, so hopefully, this show is packed full of good wrestlers and interesting storylines.There are several NFL games scheduled for September 24 as well, so the WWE would be wise to bring their A-game in the face of competition.

Tyson Kidd wird nach seiner Nackenverletzung nicht mehr als aktiver Wrestler vor die Kameras zurückkehren, sondern künftig eine Non-Wrestling-Rolle bei WWE ausüben. Ob er nun hinter den Kulissen eine Rolle als Producer / Agent einnehmen oder vor den Kameras eine On-Air Rolle z.B. als Mentor eines anderen Talents ausüben wird, ist noch völlig unklar.

Tyson Kidd Being Transitioned Into Non-Wrestling Role
Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Tyson Kidd, aka TJ Wilson, is making his return to wrestling … however, it won’t be in the ring — he’ll be working in a non-wrestling capacity.
According to sources, Kidd is currently being transitioned into a non-wrestling role. Since it’s still fresh, one source says it’s too early to define whether it’ll be behind the scenes — like a producer/agent — or if he’ll be used in some sort of on-air role that doesn’t require wrestling.
For those who don’t recall, Tyson was injured during a match with Samoa Joe in 2015 that ended his in-ring career. As we previously reported, Kidd was kept from filming Total Divas last season because the company feared he’d open up about the night of his injury.
The 36-year-old recently revealed, however, that he’ll once again appear on the show next season.
No word on whether his move to a backstage position will be chronicled.
