— As previously reported, NXT Takeover: Brooklyn has been selling well and WWE officials are very happy with it. The company changed up their seating plans because the initial layout of 6,000 seats sold out almost instantly. The new arrangement allows for 11,000 seats in the 13,1348-capacity arena. Basically, they have now opened up the upper-deck of the arena which was originally scheduled to be tarped off.
The plan is to have the show run three and a half hours, with three hours airing on the WWE Network. That includes the two-hour Takeover special and an hour for an episode of NXT, possibly the one on August 26th. The TV taping obviously wouldn’t air live on the Network and would be filmed/saved for the Wednesday night broadcast.
— Here are tonight’s confirmed WWE SmackDown matches:
* Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus
* Neville vs. Adam Rose
* Kevin Owens vs. Rusev
* The Bella Twins vs. Sasha Banks and Naomi
* Non-Title Match: Champion Seth Rollins vs. Cesaro
