Earlier today, WWE made a move that caused hysterics amongst members of the WWE universe.Originally, on July 9 later this year, the company was going to host an RAW-exclusive pay-per-view called Bad Blood at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. This was also going location of The Beast's first title defense, but plans have now changed. This was also going to be the location of Brock Lesnar's first Universal championship defense since winning the title against Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 earlier this month, but those plans have now changed.

It was reported today that the name and the location of the pay-per-view would be changed. It would now be called Great Balls of Fire and it would take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The announcement was made in a video via the arena's Twitter account.

The Beast Incarnate would still be defending his Universal title on the show, but his opponent for the event wasn't revealed. However, what has the WWE universe in hysterics is the name of the pay-per-view, Great Balls of Fire.

WWE fans and superstars alike have taken the mick out of the name of the pay-per-view on Twitter, and they have created some funny jokes.

So far, no other matches have been announced for the Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view, but since it's an RAW-exclusive show, several RAW superstars should be competing. As well as Lesnar, WWE has already advertised Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Samoa Joe, The Miz, and Alexa Bliss for the event. 

We should, therefore, at least expect the matches Finn Balor vs The Miz, Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt, and possibly Alexa Bliss defending the RAW Women's championship if she wins it when she faces Bayley this Sunday at Payback.

Over the years, WWE has come up with some crazy names for their pay-per-views, and Great Balls of Fire certainly ranks up there amongst the top five.
