7/20/2012- Countdown to Raw 1000, Yankees sweep Blue Jays, Nationals def Mets 2 out of 3, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a good week this week. There were a lot of events that occurred over the week, especially two of them that are beyond the sports realm. I will share what happened over the week, as well as what will occur over the weekend. Here we go!

MLB
After winning the series against the Angels 2 out of 3, the Yankees hosted the Toronto Blue Jays in a 3 game series where they swept them, including Wednesday's matinee that caused the game to end early due to rain. Meanwhile for the Mets, they traveled to Washington D.C. to face the Nationals where they fell short in the 1st 2 games, but avoided a sweep yesterday to end a 4 game losing streak.

The Yankees traveled to Oakland and faced the Athletics in a 4-3 loss yesterday. The Yanks will continue their 4 game set in Oakland for the weekend, while the Mets will host the Los Angeles Dodgers.

WWE
The 1000th episode is this upcoming Monday, and WWE is pulling all punches to make sure it gets promoted, especially from what happened this past Monday on Raw.

From these videos regarding this past Monday's Raw, Rey Mysterio made his return, as well as Rikishi making a surprise appearance. The angles heading to Raw 1000 are the marriage between Daniel Bryan and AJ, as well as the WWE Championship match between CM Punk and John Cena, since Cena announced his cash in ahead of time. This makes him the 2nd Money in the Bank winner to announce it ahead of time (Rob Van Dam was the 1st back in 2006). After Raw went off the air, WWE's YouTube channel uploaded Punk's reaction to Cena's announcement
Tonight on SmackDown, Daniel Bryan and AJ will make a guest appearance on Christian's segment "The Peep Show" for the final hype before Raw 1000. Also, announced 2 days ago, WWE will have a pre show before Raw on YouTube. Don't forget that Raw starts at 8.
MMA Tonight is the 2nd part of the Bellator Summer Series as Bellator 72 takes place tonight on MTV 2. Following Bellator 72, tomorrow night is UFC 149 where Urijah Faber and Renan Barao will face each other for the Interim UFC Bantamweight Championship. Also, former Bellator Middleweight Hector Lombard will make his UFC debut at the event. Here's a preview of UFC 149:
Outside of Sports There are 2 newsworthy events that took place earlier today. First, I will share the news regarding what happened at The Dark Knight Rises midnight screening. During the midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises at Aurora, Colorado, a shooter entered the theater and put a smokescreen in the theater. Many moviegoers thought it was part of the show at first, but once the shooter appeared, it was clear that this was not a planned act. Many people tried to escape, which led to shooter to start firing his weapon. At least 12 were killed, while many were injured. Here's a video clip about this story:
For more information, you can Google this news to get all the details.
Now to share some positive news. For those who have DirecTV, all of the Viacom channels have returned to their channel lineup, which means that all of your shows are back.
That's all I have to say for now. Have a great weekend, and stay safe!
