Christopher Daniels talked about the upcoming match involving Samoa Joe and more:
- I'll take Daniels' word for it, but I would have thought for sure they'd have all been in a match together during their TNA runs. On that note, the idea of four people who have been champions in TNA having a match on the competition's show is really intriguing. I wonder what it will mean for the audience of both shows.
- I can only imagine who else will make the jump to NXT/WWE. It's been a big few years for them.
- Daniels in NXT would be pretty cool, but I don't think WWE would invest in him beyond helping that brand out at his age.
- I seem to remember Carlito debuting with a dirty pinfall win on Cena, but that was WAAAAYYYYY back and not as big as Owens' win. Hell, Brock didn't pin Cena in his first match back.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Chyna was spotted near WWE headquarters recently, but this was probably just something for a documentary she's seeking funding for. There's almost no chance of the company being willing to work with her these days given how things have unfolded for her these past few years.
After Raw, the team of Orton/Reigns/Ryback/Ambrose beat the team of Sheamus/Big Show/Wyatt/Rollins. The crowd chanted "please retire" to Big Show, to which he responded telling them they need to buy out his contract. That sounds like a great Kickstarter campaign. I don't know if WWE would be willing to part with someone they use in so many outside ventures (PR/movies), though. Props to Show for responding to the chants.
TNA moved the planned Slammiversary main event to the following episode of Impact Wrestling due to their changed taping schedule. They will be taping shows that take place after Slammiversary beforehand, so spoilers would have gotten out. Needless to say, they weren't prepared for the move to Wednesdays. Hopefully we still get a big win for EC3.
TNA re-designed the X-Division Championship for some reason. Maybe they'll update all the titles and the look of the company and such for the 13th anniversary. I don't really like the green theme, though.
Kevin Owens "apologized" for the powerbomb to Machine Gun Kelly, which MGK pretty much no-sold with his reply. He should have said something about how he can't wait to see Cena kick Owens' ass.
Update: MTV.com covered the angle, which is pretty awesome. I'm impressed with MGK taking the bump.
Someone commenting in the New York Daily News remembered the passing of Dusty Rhodes. That's pretty cool.
TNA will use the King of the Mountain match at Slammiversary for the first time in six years. I'm guessing that will be for the X-Division Championship unless they're adding a new title.
Raw jumped to 4.11 million for the post-MITB show. The road to Summerslam should be pretty exciting. I wonder where the likes of Owens, Ambrose, etc. will be on that card.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com's questions:
1. Hopefully Joe won't have to change his finisher as a result. Hopefully we also get Joe vs. Owens on the main roster after the feud with Cena ends. I don't know if they'd want both Joe and Zayn to move up in the coming months, but they're obviously natural feuds for the former ROH Champion.
2. Hell, watch his other NXT matches, too! His feud with El Generico pre-WWE is always recommended highly if you want to check those out, as well.
Nothing to add to 3.
4. As much as I'd love to see that match, there's very little chance we'd get Brock taking the Rattlesnake to Suplex City.
5. The legal process can be a slow one...
More wrestling tomorrow.
