Dave Meltzer talks the news of the day.
DAVE MELTZER
WWE:
On the front page they note the Rita Chatterton story regarding Vince McMahon in New York Magazine by Abraham Riesman, who is doing a book on McMahon. Early in the day people were freaking out considering Vince McMahon just got all that coverage, but I have not seen anything past wrestling sites mention it and McMahon is not on the Google search list today. I think part of it is that Chatterton would call McMahon names but would not talk about the incident itself. The next issue will have a detailed story about what was going on then regarding the story. We'll talk about it some tonight. Neither WWE nor Jerry McDevitt have responded to any questions regarding the story. But with the media not picking up on it, and I can see why, the story doesn't appear to be harmful to McMahon's position right now.
Raw tonight is the John Cena 20th anniversary special. It is expected to do another big rating for Cena's first time back on WWE television in months. The show is a complete sellout of 8,200 fans in Laredo, TX, and they were probably going to do around 4,500 if Cena was not on the show based on ticket sales (3,700) at the time of the announcement of Cena. It was noted it could have grown even more if they were running in a larger arena. It's expected that they will start the ball rolling on Cena vs. Theory at SummerSlam, and it will inter sting to see how much tickets for that show start moving if he's announced. For tonight, it's Ezekiel (or someone from the family) vs. Kevin Owens in a MITB qualifying match.
NXT tomorrow has Katana Chance & Kayden Carter vs. Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade with the winners getting a tag title shot, Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen appear as the new NXT UK tag champions, Sanga vs. Xyon Quinn, Indi Hartwell vs. Kiana James, a face-to-face with Bron Breakker and Cameron Grimes to build to their title match at the 7/2 Great American Bash and Nikkita Lyons returns. Lyons did work over the weekend.
Liv Morgan and Kofi Kingston will be the first guests on WWE x G4 Arena show on 7/6 at 7 p.m.
AEW / ROH :
ROH's next show, the Death Before Dishonor PPV, takes place on 7/23 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, MA.
Some stuff off last night's show. Jon Moxley is fine and said he probably shouldn't have said he might have a concussion in the post-match interview and said it was just something he said but he's fine and he's having so much fun in the ring with his new angle. He heavily praised Tanahashi. Adam Cole looks like he suffered a concussion last night which is why the finish was awkward. As we have noted, he's been working with a torn labrum. Sting said last night's match was the most fun he's had in the ring in years. Backstage people were going crazy with the quality of Will Ospreay vs. Orange Cassidy.
AEW was the No. 10 most searched topic on Google today. On Saturday night, Forbidden Door was No. 9, at 50,000, but now it's disappeared from the listings. I have no idea how that's possible But that is well down from the 200,000 for Double or Nothing and the recent PPV shows, which is an early indicator of how the show did.
AEW has still only announced the 12-man Blood & Guts match with Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston & Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta & Santana & Ortiz vs. Chris Jericho & Jake Hager & Sammy Guevara & Daniel Garcia & Matt Menard & Angelo Parker for the Wednesday night show.
Jade Cargill threw out the first pitch at a Chicago White Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles game over the weekend.
OTHER WRESTLING:
After the great response to yesterday's Tam Nakano vs. Natsupoi match in a cage in Nagoya, the two will be doing a rematch tomorrow at Korakuen Hall. This was not the plan, but Natsupoi noted that she has never has a singles main event at Korakuen Hall and pushed booker Rossy Ogawa to do it based on the international reaction to their match, so he agreed to it.
Defy from Saturday night for another sold out show at Washington Hall in Seattle: Nick Wayne b Dante Martin, Daniel Garcia b Trey Miguel (I was told best match), Christopher Daniels b Lee Moriarty to keep the Defy interim title, Bollywood Boyz b Sebastian Wolfe & Miles Deville to keep the tag titles, Viva Van b Danika Della Rouge in a street fight to keep the PCW Ultra women's title, Davey Richards b Adam Ryder, Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas b Ethan HD & STeve Miga, Eli Surge won three-way over Jordan Oliver and Sonico. The are running 7/16 and 7/17 back at Washington Hall.
Mistico is off tonight's CMLL show in Puebla due to an ankle injury and Soberano Jr is being sent as a replacement. (thanks to Rene Ochoa)
Warrior Wrestling from yesterday in Chicago: Miranda Alize b Heather Reckless, Mike Bennett b Beastman, Gringo Loco won over Alpha Wolf, ASF, Dragon Bane, Golden Dragon and Ninja Mack, Davey Richards b Tom Lawlor, Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed & Dante Leon b Blake Christian & Fuego del Sol & Nick Wayne, KC Navarro b Brian Pillman Jr to keep Warrior title. Pillman subbed for Mike Bailey, who had transportation issues (thanks to Leonard Brand)
