— Our web traffic is EXTREMELY high right now and the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view hasn’t even started yet. We’ll likely be dealing with MAJOR problems following the PPV tonight. This is just a fair warning. We’ll be doing our best to keep the site up and running though. Just know that if the site goes down, we’ll be here working to fix the issues and will have it back up ASAP. Any site load problems will be associated with the high traffic that we expect, especially immediately following the pay-per-view event when we get that initial rush.
— WWE will be holding events on June 9, 2011 at the Isozaki Olympic Arena in Turin, Italy and June 10, 2011 at the Nelson Mandela Forum in Florence, Italy. Tickets for both events go on sale February 11, 2011. (Thanks to Devin Cutting)
