Bucks' last indie date?, SDL star has parent pass, NJPW notes, new Untold coming, digital series added to WWE Network, Orton teases opponents, WWE names at E3, Raw preview, Crusherfest press, Goldberg update, upcoming Raw doing discounts, Impact/HOH injury, Montreal Screwjob play, Interview with Valentine, HHH set for Japan live event, and Questions on the Hemsworth-Hogan movie, the Doink character living on, what night AEW will air, who to blame for Taker vs. Goldberg, and if we'll see Taker vs. Sting

The Young Bucks are set for House of Glory's August 9 event in what is being teased as their possible final independent show ever ahead of AEW becoming a full-time promotion.

Andrade's mother passed away this weekend. That's very sad to hear. I wish him and his family the best as they navigate the days ahead.

NJPW Dominion notes:
- Jon Moxley announced he wants to enter G1, which means he'll be in Dallas.

- KENTA appeared and also entered G1. I hope he's able to rebound after his momentum stalled in WWE.

- Chris Jericho lost to Kazuchika Okada in the main event, but attacked Okada afterward. Hiroshi Tanahashi saved Okada, and Jericho cut a promo on both men. So, it looks like we haven't seen the last of Jericho in NJPW.

"WWE Untold" focusing on Kurt Angle vs. Shane McMahon from 2001 will air Sunday on WWE Network. Shane took a lot of punishment in that match.

WWE Network has added the "Where Are They Now?" digital series.

Randy Orton teased facing Aleister Black and Finn Balor. I'd like to see both!

AJ Styles, Xavier Woods, and Tyler Breeze appeared at Microsoft's E3 press conference, promoting "Gears of War 5's" multiplayer mode.

Raw has announced:
- Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins vs. The Revival for the Raw Tag Team Championship
- MizTV with Samoa Joe

Crusherfest got press from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, as well as local ABC and FOX affiliates.

Goldberg was legitimately concussed at Super ShowDown. That was an unfortunate likely end to his career.

Raw's July 15 episode is doing a "four tickets for the price of three" special. WWE really needs to address their attendance problems on a larger scale than marketing.

Ace Romero was legitimately hurt at the Impact/HOH joint show yesterday. There's no word on what exactly happened beyond the match being stopped early and him being checked out in the back. Romero competed in Double or Nothing's Casino Battle Royale.

The Montreal Screwjob is now the subject of a play from a former WCW publicist. That's pretty crazy.

Greg "The Hammer" Valentine gave a long interview.

Triple H has been announced for WWE's June 28 Japan event. More on this tomorrow. I'm curious if he'll work the next night as well.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I definitely haven't seen anything in a while. I imagine we're a long way from it happening.

2. Honestly there are a lot of "Doinks" out there, but at least Apollo has some legitimacy to the role.

3. Yeah I definitely expect Wednesday to avoid being shuffled around for basketball.

4. Whoever decided for Goldberg to make himself bleed by spearing a ring post for real. Terrible idea.

5. I'd like to think WWE will think twice about doing that given how Sting's last match went. But, of course, money talks, and WWE's going to want to load up future Saudi shows.

More wrestling tomorrow.
