WWE News: Shinsuke Nakamura Now Scheduled For Extreme Rules

Published

on

As we all know by now, WWE SmackDown Live Superstar Shinsuke Nakamura was injured in one of the more unusual ways you’ll hear about last week, being bitten by a police dog during a precautionary building sweep last Monday in Bakersfield, California (go here for that story). Shinsuke was forced to miss his scheduled United States Title match against the champion Jeff Hardy last Tuesday and was on crutches for SmackDown Live’s tour of Japan over the weekend. It was then revealed during an interview with Nikkan Sports by Nakamura himself that he would be back in action in a couple of weeks (check that out here).

During SmackDown Live tonight, Hardy would issue an Open Challenge for a title shot just as he did last week, this time being answered by The Miz who would fall short. It was then announced later in the show that ‘The King Of Strong Style’ will now be getting his opportunity at Hardy’s title at Extreme Rules in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here’s a look at the updated card, which you can catch live Sunday, July 15th at 7PM EST on the WWE Network:

WWE Championship
(C) AJ Styles vs. Rusev

30-Minute Iron Man Match for the Intercontinental Championship
(C) Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins

WWE Using AI for Creative Analytics, But Critics Warn of Limits

Published

on

TKO president Mark Shapiro confirmed the company is employing artificial intelligence as part of WWE’s creative and analytics process, using it to gauge which superstars resonate, where they connect with fans, and to inform content, touring and revenue decisions. Shapiro framed AI as a tool to help map editorial and creative strategies, though he did not specify the scope or specific systems being used.

Industry critics caution that commercially available large language models have significant limitations — they’re trained on existing internet data, prone to hallucinations, and often fail to produce genuinely new creative ideas. Studies also cast doubt on large productivity gains from AI and raise concerns about over-reliance on automated analysis driving billion-dollar booking decisions, with commentators warning that unchecked use could skew creative outcomes and require rigorous human verification.

WWE NXT Promo Draws Backlash Over Alleged AI Use

Published

on

TKO president Mark Shapiro recently confirmed that Nick Khan and Triple H have incorporated AI into WWE’s creative process, and wrestling fans are now spotting the technology in vignettes and promo packages. An earlier El Grande Americano clip raised eyebrows last year, but this week’s NXT vignette allegedly featuring Sol Ruca and Zaria has prompted even stronger accusations that AI is being used in broadcast production.

Viewers highlighted uncanny-valley close-ups and likeness issues—most notably that Sol Ruca’s on-screen appearance didn’t match her real-life features—as signs the segment may have been AI-generated. Social media backlash suggests many fans feel WWE is rushing AI into television content before the tech can convincingly replicate talent.
