On Friday, WWE announced a change in plans for an upcoming pay-per-view event, as well as the date of the first WWE Universal Championship defense of Brock Lesnar.

Instead of “WWE Bad Blood,” which was scheduled to serve as the RAW-brand PPV event on July 9th at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, WWE has announced that the event will be dubbed, “WWE Great Balls Of Fire” and will emanate from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas as we had already learned and reported here.

Check out the promo for WWE Great Balls Of Fire, which is scheduled to feature the first title defense of reigning WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, above.
