Right, this in't even a rumour, but a theory that i have.

I was watching Smackdown this week and they announced that the Smackdown team are coming over for a tour again in June, nothing exciting.

But then I saw thay are booking the M.E.N arena on a Sunday?

Wich I found odd for a number of reasons:

1. They never use the MEN for house shows, except the Rebellion PPV's
2. If it were for a rebellion style PPV they would do them on a Saturday like they used to do
3. They haven't done a rebellion PPV for over 2 years now
4. Sundays are for the afternoon shows normally, so there's no way that the MEN would sell under these conditions.

What i'm getting at here is that it looks like they couls be gearing up for a PPV in July! I don't know what one it would be, but in my mind i can't see what else they could do with that Sunday show. Yes it's possible that a rebellion show could move to a Sunday, but i don't see why they would go back to them.

Anyway, just a thought

They have used M.E.N for house shows before - I went to a house show in October 2003 and that was a Sunday afternoon show.

Dammit don't dash my dreams like that!

The ECW PPV is on June 12th
Vengeance is on June 26th

Vicne loves PPV's he could easily Squeeze in another there, they could announce it in 2 weeks time when the WWE is in Birmingham

Easily squeeze another in? Two PPVs in two weeks is already overkill.

If it does happen, it better be a previously scheduled PPV.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Why would they do a house show on a sunday at 7.30pm?

The workers need to be working on Tuesday night for the TV tapings, so they have to fly through the night on sunday and deal with jet lag and shit. Dam!
