Former Knockout Ayako Hamada was arrested and sent to prison in Japan for 18 months after testing positive for drugs. That's unfortunate. I hope she gets things together in the time to come.

New Day released a joint statement on Hulk Hogan being reinstated to the WWE Hall of Fame. They handled that pretty well.

- Titus O'Neil agreed with the statement, while targeting false rumors of his own actions in relation to Hogan's reinstatement.

- Titus then added his own statement. Obviously I wasn't at the meeting and don't know exactly what Hogan said, but there's definitely a big difference between apologizing for making the comments and apologizing for being caught making the comments.

UFC's Travis Browne expressed willingness to wrestle alongside Ronda Rousey, his wife.

WWE was honored with ESPN's Humanitarian League Award, with Roman Reigns accepting. Stephanie McMahon and Charlotte Flair also attended the ceremony.

- Charlotte also presented an award at the ESPYs.

- Stephanie and Roman gave interviews after their appearances.

Andrade Almas and No Way Jose have their first post-NXT t-shirts, while Lacey Evans has her first T-shirt in WWE.

Becky Lynch and Xavier Woods attended Rocket League's third birthday party. Rocket League sponsors WWE.

WWE is teaming with the band O.A.R. to raise money for Connor's Cure. That's a big move to help the charity's purpose.

Kane received an injury to his Achilles' tendon on the Smackdown Live before Extreme Rules. He's not expected back on WWE TV anytime soon as he focuses on his political future.

Deonna Purrazzo, Tegan Nox, Jessica Eleban, and Reina Gonzalez have all been added to the Mae Young Classic. All four are training at the WWE Performance Center.

- Deonna discussed entering the series.

Johnny Impact has been added to the Summerslam weekend cruise.

Slammiversary has officially sold out. It's unknown how many seats they've set up for, but that's hopefully good news given their previous problems with attendance.

WWE's headquarters will be lit up to promote the Special Olympics. WWE has done a lot of work with them.

Smackdown Live drew 2.29 million viewers Tuesday, getting a bit of a boost after Extreme Rules.

Ric Flair gave an update on his health. I hope he's in the clear for a while.

Brock Lesnar is advertised for the July 30 Raw, his first WWE appearance since the Greatest Royal Rumble.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I definitely think it's worth examining how many PPVs to run when the new TV deals kick in. If PPVs aren't drawing well and keeping subscriptions coming, it could very well be time to cut back.

2. The significance of Meltzer's match reviews for his overall work as a reporter have really been overstated. They're a minor part of what he does. I can see the argument that someone who has studied and reported on the business that long has a better idea of what and doesn't work as a good match, but overall it's not worth the level of attention it gets.

3. Star ratings aren't worth the headache, because hypothetically you have to measure each new match against what you rated previous matches. I like matches more when they have a good story to them and that story is executed well. The chemistry between/among performers is a key factor, too.

4. As was said, ROH's TV viewership is fractured into so many markets that it would be very difficult to get a good reading.

5. It could be decreased demand for that medium now that Honorclub is up and running. By the time a show will be on physical DVD, it's old news.

More wrestling tomorrow.
