Main Event Reax - 7/28/18, Interviews with Konnan/Gargano, Elias documentary on WWE Network soon, WWE promotes PROGESS/EVOLVE tour, Starrcast schedule released, more ROH UK matches, BFG ad note, NXT live event note, and Questions on the Harts honoring Owen, Sable's whereabouts, WWE collectibles, and Summerslam options

-- Main Event:
- Ryder vs. Kanellis:
This isn't bad so far.

They're telling a fine story.

Fine match overall.

- Ascension vs. Jose/Gable:
I didn't realize I wanted a Jose/Gable team until now.

Honestly they might as well make the Ascension goofy at this point. I ain't even mad.

This isn't bad. 

Pretty solid overall.


Konnan put Impact over on his most recent podcast, praising the booking, video packages, and changes in venue. They're definitely putting things together well now.

An Elias documentary will follow Monday's Raw.

Johnny Gargano promoted NXT's Sunday live event in Arizona. I'm curious where he goes from here. There are going to be high expectations post-NXT.

WWE promoted PROGRESS and EVOLVE's August U.S. tour, featuring NXT UK stars. It's still wild to see them actively promoting outside companies, but they're WWE partners at this point.

Starrcast's full schedule was released. There's some pretty interesting stuff there.

Punishment Martinez vs. Delirious in a Proving Ground match and Tenille Dashwood vs. Chardonnay have been booked for ROH Re-United's August 18 event. I'm surprised Delirious doesn't book himself more often. At least it's probably just going to put Punishment over.

The Bound For Glory ad apparently has hidden messages. Hopefully we'll know more going forward.

Drew Gulak worked NXT's July 28 Florida live event, defeating Dan Matha. Matha is much more than 205 pounds. I'm a little surprised they protected Gulak against someone that big.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. The other Harts can absolutely honor Owen however they want.  If WWE wanted to have Bret et al induct Owen, they could do so, but they don't want to stir up any further animosity with Martha.

2. She's completely moved on from the business and being Sable. She has been at UFC events at times, including UFC 200.

Not much to add to 3.a. and I don't collect anything really or spend money on much of anything of the sort. I enjoy wrestling, but it doesn't dominate my life.

4. I absolutely think all of those things are potential directions other than Brock vs. Roman not going on last. That's the match everyone's going to be talking about one way or another.

Nothing to add to 5 or 6.

More wrestling tomorrow.
