Main Event Reax - 7/21/17, WWEPC shooter committed to hospital, LAX promotes GFW shows, Darren Young update, Interviews with Jinder/Charlotte, new first-time WWE/NXT Mattel figures, Impact audience, more classic territory footage on WWE Network, new title replica available, Alberto cleared as suspect, and Questions on past WWE HoF plans, Dr. D vs. Stossel, and Punk's wrestling status

-- Main Event:
- Truth vs. Hawkins:
Comedy match? Fine by me.

Ha. Truth has still got it, shaking Curt off like that.

Curt does his role pretty well. At least he's making main roster money instead of doing this in NXT.

This is a pretty solid little match.

Glad to see Hawkins scout the scissors kick.

So much for Curt ever getting a win. Fine by me, I guess. I doubt there are enough Hawkins fans to be that upset about him losing 99 straight. Hell, he probably doesn't even keep track of that.

- Club vs. Slater/Rhyno:
I'm looking forward to this one. We don't get to see much of Slater and Rhyno these days.

Fun stuff in the early going.

Both sides work together well.

Rhyno's still got some fire. This is a good use of him.

Straightforward tag action done well.

This is pretty solid!

Glad to see both teams getting to show what they can do. I like having a Sunday Night Heat kind of environment for people lower on the card to let loose.

I'm very glad we're getting this instead of something from 205 Live. It's something fresh.

The Club can be solid heels in the ring, but I wouldn't mind them turning face if it means WWE would use them more.

The man shot outside the WWE Performance Center in 2015 has been committed to a mental hospital and ruled incompetent to stand trial on the charges against him. I hope he can have peace there and will have no further legal issues.

LAX threw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game to promote the upcoming GFW live events. Between making money running a baseball stadium and not making money/giving people work, this is the right move for GFW.

Darren Young should be cleared to return to the ring sometime in August. I hope he can contribute to things in a meaningful way.

Jinder Mahal promoted Battleground:
- Oh yeah, Jinder still has a lot of work ahead of him to be an important player. There's no guarantee he won't go right back down the card once he's no longer champion, although his connection to India offers some protection in that regard.

- I do wonder what the plan is for Jinder, Cena, etc. for Summerslam, since I doubt they're doing Jinder/Orton IV there.

- It seems like just yesterday Cena and Orton were the ones trying to prove themselves worthy of being consistent main eventers/WWE Champions.

- Imagine 3MB on top of WWE. That could be AMAZING. Slater the goofy manager for the Modern Day Maharaja and the Scottish warrior would be a lot of fun.

Ken Shamrock, D-Lo Brown, and Wrestling Superstar Virgil all now have WWE Mattel figures for the first time. Mattel has a LOT of people to potentially make figures of.

- Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa got figures as well, as NXT's profile continues to rise.

Impact drew 322,000 viewers Thursday, so the boost from Slammiversary and the Alberto situation was short-lived. It happens; it's tough to get casual fans watching every week.

World Class Championship Wrestling episodes from 1982 and 1983 are being added to WWE Network. That's some pretty classic footage.

WWE is now selling toy replicas of the Universal Championship. So maybe now that title will be present at live events!

Charlotte promoted Second Nature at San Diego Comic-Con. It's risky getting an autobiography so early in your WWE career, but I think she's proven herself as someone who's going to be important for years to come.

Alberto El Patron has been cleared as a suspect in the Orlando airport incident. GFW has had a conference call with Alberto, but have not officially ended his suspension at this time. This is definitely a good break for the champion and promotion; this could have ended up a lot worse for both sides.

- Alberto being cleared, along with their recent statement about Paige, would seem to indicate Orlando police believe Paige was the aggressor. It's now up to the state attorney general to decide whether or not she will face charges. If she does, WWE will almost certainly suspend her, and release her from her contract if she's convicted of them.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I assume we'll still see DX inducted as a group at some point. It actually works out better that they didn't put them in the Hall of Fame that year, since now they could theoretically include Rick Rude and Chyna. There could be less flak for inducting Chyna in that circumstance.

2. Nowadays they would have had Stephanie smiling and talking about how great their family-friendly sports entertainment is. Things have changed a LOT since those days.

3. Punk owns it and is able to market himself/sell merchandise under that name.

4. He seems pretty adamant to continue his MMA career. He's still officially under contract to UFC and wants to fight again.

5. Probably something along those lines.

More wrestling tomorrow.
