WWE's UK Performance Center is having a women's tryout this week. Candy Floss, as well as Ireland's Debbie Keitel and Valkyrie, are expected to be present.

Lacey Evans spoke to Sporting News before Raw:
- I really wonder where she gets her wardrobe.

- It is great that she's showing the value of hard work, believing in yourself, etc.

- I'm VERY glad her life turned around.

- There are definitely the makings of a babyface character here, but I'm glad she's a heel right now.

- Her character is so authentic with some of the lines she comes up with. I definitely don't think someone from Connecticut is telling her these expressions.

MLW will feature Dr. Wagner, Jr. and El Hijo del Dr. Wagner, Jr. at their July 6 TV taping. They're doing a great job showcasing lucha talents.

Best in the World has added Dalton Castle vs. Dragon Lee and Rush vs. Flip Gordon. Should be good.

Eli Drake has announced he is a free agent. There was concern Impact would seek to prevent him from working elsewhere after terminating him for refusing to wrestle Tessa Blanchard at United We Stand. Thankfully, that's not the case.

- Eli and Impact came to an agreement on the situation that allows him to now sign anywhere he would like.

Raw drew 2.41 million viewers Monday night, bouncing back from Memorial Day.

WWE's BOOM! Studios comic is wrapping up with its 25th issue.

205 Live's Vic Joseph established a memorial scholarship for a childhood friend with muscular dystrophy. That's awesome!

OWE wanted to use four Chinese wrestlers at Double or Nothing, but couldn't due to visa issues. The promotion hopes to be able to use local talent at All Out. AEW has an opportunity to showcase something pretty unique if they can get things sorted out here.

AEW's Hikaru Shida will not appear at Fyter Fest because she'll be working her final Japanese tour at that time. She's expected to be in AEW/the U.S. full-time afterward.

Sting is set for Starrcast III. If he could ever get medically cleared for a big Saudi show, I think we'd have a chance to see him vs. Undertaker.

Nick Aldis will defend the NWA World Championship at MCW's July 13 event, Shamrock Cup XIX.

Impact Wrestling has announced:
- Rob Van Dam and Sabu vs. The North for Thursday's TV taping. I wouldn't be shocked in the least to see them pick up Rhino later this year.
- Taya Valkyrie vs. Rosemary for Friday's TV taping

Kongo Kong is no longer part of Impact Wrestling. He last worked there in March. I don't expect him to pop up in any other prominent promotion at 39.

Before Smackdown Live, Heavy Machinery defeated The B-Team. I see why Bo and Curtis are going after the 24/7 title!

After Smackdown Live, Bayley retained the Smackdown Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. As indicated, I'm under the impression they've got a small number of staff taking on a large number of tasks. So, things slip through the cracks.

2. Not at all. It's not like they were booked strongly before becoming champions in the first place! At least now they appear on both shows.

3. I definitely think they'll try to make NXT the best product possible, but I really don't see it being marketed strongly to the Raw and Smackdown Live audience, since Vince obviously has a very different vision of wrestling than what is presented in NXT.

4. It's only been two shows so far, but obviously there is the concern of AEW being "BTE the promotion" essentially. I can understand building around the talents you know aren't going anywhere else anytime soon in the early going, and the AEW talents beating the "guests" who aren't under full-time deals (or, in Dustin's case, are likely not going to be long-term prospects). Hopefully once things are stable going into 2020 they'll feel more confident letting others share the spotlight.

5. I'm a little surprised they don't meet that often, but given how far apart they live and how much they can get done without being in the same room, there's not a lot of reason for them to see each other frequently.

More wrestling tomorrow.
