Impact Wrestling will return to Mexican TV on 52MX on Saturday nights beginning July 7 at 9:30 p.m. It's good to see them get a deal to expand coverage to there. I would think this would mean a greater Latin presence on the product, which has been a solid plan so far.
C.M. Punk talked about talking to Ronda Rousey before WrestleMania and his lack of interest in returning to the ring. I believe Punk is focused on making the most of his MMA career (even outside of UFC), but of course, you never say never in wrestling. I wouldn't expect him at All In or anything, but I'd also be surprised if we never saw him do anything in wrestling again.
Lana and Sonya Deville were at a GLAAD event. Good to see WWE supporting people of all backgrounds.
Rey Mysterio is on JR's latest podcast.
Curt Hawkins discussed his legendary losing streak. I'm glad he's embracing it. People are definitely talking about him more than Mike Kanellis or some of the other people still employed who never make TV.
Kenny Omega and Xavier Woods will play Street Fighter V against each other at the upcoming E3 event. Hopefully that's good press for both of them.
EC3 is on Edge & Christian's latest podcast.
Drew Gulak has a new shirt on Pro Wrestling Tees. It's good he's able to get merchandise there.
The Nasty Boys did a signing at Pro Wrestling Tees' store today. Yikes. I'm surprised PWT booked a team with such a bad reputation.
Kurt Angle dousing Stone Cold and Stephanie McMahon with milk is now going to be an action figure set. That's AMAZING.
Impact Wrestling drew 296,000 viewers this week, slightly up from last week's 283,000 viewers. That's not a good boost for a show featuring a big fight in the woods between Edwards and Callihan. It looks like that angle has peaked.
The former Nixon Newell is now Tegan Nox in NXT. She had previously gone by Stefanie Newell. That's an odd name, but we'll see what she does with it.
Ronda Rousey is booked for Raw's November 3 and November 4 shows in Spain, as well as the November 9 and November 10 events in Italy.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I hope she's able to get back to contributing to WWE at some point.
2. Basically what they said: focus on being the best doctor he can be. If he's going to use social media accounts, they either need to be private or under a name that can't be associated with him.
3. I can't add anything to their answer there.
4. I think WWE's holding them off for a little while so other teams can get something of a spotlight for a bit before they go for the tag titles. WWE doesn't want to cut off Matt, Bray, or The B-Team's momentum.
5. I will not watch or cover the games, as I have no interest in football. As long as Vince and company are willing to put enough money into it, it will presumably keep going.
More wrestling tomorrow.
