More WotW matches set, Cappotelli update, Rock shouts out Nia, Raw audience, big matches for Smackdown, "Smacking Talk" debuts, Matt vs. GFW continues, Smackdown dark match, and Questions on Taker's biker look, Titantron troubles, anti-American heels on Smackdown, WWE's use of women, and what is and isn't lazy booking

ROH has announced the following matches for War of the Worlds UK:

Matt Cappotelli has launched a GoFundMe page to help treat his brain cancer. That's a really rough situation for him and his family. I hope he pulls through.

The Rock put over Nia Jax. She's definitely done great work. 

Raw drew 3.07 million viewers Monday, down a bit from the previous week. We'll see how things do after Summerslam.

Set for next week's Smackdown:
- John Cena vs. Shinsuke Nakamura to face Jinder Mahal at Summerslam.
- AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens for the United States Championship

Daniel Bryan and Renee Young did an episode of "Smacking Talk" with Chad Gable. Pretty funny. We'll see how long it will last. 

Matt Hardy took another shot at GFW vs. WWE: Tweet 1 Tweet 2 I'm absolutely ready for this to end. Either go to court over it or move on already.

John Cena vs. Jinder Mahal took place after Smackdown, with the Singh brothers running in for a DQ ending. That may or may not mean we're in for that match at Summerslam; neither man wrestled on the main show, so this could have just been giving fans those two in action. The Great Khali was not involved, so they're either saving him for special occasions or Battleground was a one-time only thing.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It could be Hell's Angels saw Taker as a legit enough badass to see him wearing their shirts as free publicity. It's not like Taker was just some guy trying to be tough; he's a big motorcycle fan.

2. I don't really have an answer for that. Who misses their cue that many times? Someone needs to be FFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.

3. LISTEN HERE, PAL. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS COUNTRY, YOU CAN LEAVE IT GODDAMMIT. WE'RE GONNA HAVE PATRIOTS IN THIS COMPANY AND NO ONE'S GONNA STAND AROUND AND LET SOME CANADIAN OR BULGARIAN OR INDIAN GET AWAY WITH DISRESPECT AND THAT'S A GUARAN-DAMN-TEE, PAL! I'm just glad they don't have Nakamura as an evil Japanese samurai or something.

4. WWE is pushing a lot of women at once. They're definitely not just throwing that many women together for the heck of it; they just have a good number of credible women they can put in the title picture.

5. It's only lazy booking if they're just doing that kind of thing because they don't want to put in any effort to do something different. The original angle with the three women's trios was pretty lazy booking. They just had Stephanie introduce some new characters and throw them in teams and everyone went along with it.

More wrestling tomorrow.
