When is that Raw in Japan again? It'll be a Smackdown show in China probably. |

If it's in China, I would imagine it'll be all of Raw and Smackdown.

The China show was supposed to take place last yr in July but was cancelled cos the China govt was very strict on pornography and violence and WWE couldn't get a license in time.
I have a friend who worked in the marketing company who was supposed to bring them to China. Sadly he has left the company.
It's just after Summerslam.

It will probably be both shows cos China is a huge lucrative market that WWE has been eyeing for some time. The Chinese in the cities are affluent and rich. No doubt, it will sell out. |

Hope the show is good and somehow does get recorded.

Just heard it's a Raw show and it's only 90 minutes long.
Free for visitors who visit the World Expo that day.

So many sports leagues want to get into China like NFL, WWE, UFC and MLB, but I dont see any one of them catching on like the NBA over there. |
