Jushin "Thunder" Liger will compete at the Super J Cup events in non-tournament matches. I'm glad he'll be in action on those shows.

AAA's U.S. events will stream live on FITE. I hope those shows are successful for both sides.

Chavo Guerrero is on Stone Cold's latest podcast, discussing Alberto El Patron's new project, GLOW, and more.

"Stone Cold" "Steve Austin" and "Give WWE Women A Chance" all trended in the U.S. on Twitter during Raw. The first two aren't surprising; I'm curious what the response will be to the latter.

Shawn Michaels spoke before Raw Reunion.

WWE has trademarked "WWE After the Bell," which could easily be the FS1 studio show.

Batista discussed whom he'd like to Batista Bomb and more. That's technically wrestling-related despite the political answer.

Stone Cold put Ric Flair over to TMZ Sports. That's pretty cool to see.

- Austin also spoke to ESPN about Raw Reunion and Summerslam.

Kofi Kingston spoke to a French outlet about WWE's new executive directors and more.

The WWE Performance Center has Pat Buck of WrestlePro/Create-A-Pro and Danny Cage of The Monster Factory as guest coaches this week. Cool to see them helping out.

Scott Hall did not enter the ring during the Raw Reunion beer bash due to his history with alcohol. I hope he's doing well in that regard.

Ricochet was originally going to be in the DX/OC segment. I can see how that would have been overkill.

The Bella Twins were invited to Raw Reunion, but Nikki was already scheduled to be out of the U.S.

NXT stars were backstage at Raw Reunion, as the WWE Performance Center is close by.

Former Raw Tag Team Champion Nicholas was backstage at Raw. He could have been 24/7 Champion!!!!!!!

WOW's Chloe Hurtz was backstage at Raw with Rob Van Dam.

Pat Patterson is now the oldest person to hold a championship in WWE at 78.

Raw Reunion got local press.

Impact and Twitch have renewed their agreement, which will see more Impact content on the platform going forward. That's obviously great for both sides.

Jon Moxley vs. Pentagon, Jr. is set for Northeast Wrestling's August 16 show. Rey Fenix, Darby Allin, Penelope Ford, and Private Party are also booked there before AEW's TV debut.

- Jerry Lawler and David Arquette will be in a mixed tag at that show. Lawler is teaming with Keith Youngblood against Arquette and King Brian.

"Dark Side of the Ring's" second season is set to have ten episodes. Dino Bravo and Brawl For All will be the subjects of episodes, with Jim Cornette and Butterbean interviewed for the latter.

- There are also plans for a Chris Benoit episode.

Raw Reunion drew 3.09 million viewers Monday night, a big jump from 2.45 million the previous week. That's the biggest audience since August, and shows a decent level of lapsed fans were curious about the special episode.

Summer Supercard has officially announced Matt Taven vs. Alex Shelley for the ROH Championship. That's a fresh match; I'm curious what level of interest there will be in it.

All Out has added Joey Janela vs. Jimmy Havoc vs. Darby Allin. It's smart to do the crazy hardcore stuff there since they won't be doing it on TNT.

MMA's Kayla Harrison was at Raw Reunion.

Rush has challenged Dalton Castle to a no disqualification match at Summer Supercard. Rush is a star in the making.

Jungle Boy paid tribute to his father. Glad to see it.

Before Smackdown Live, Heavy Machinery beat the B-Team. I miss Bo and Curtis!!

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Banned, no, but I definitely see the idea that a talent should have the previous talent's blessing to use a finish that was strongly associated with them. It has been long enough since Stone Cold's heyday for someone else to use the stunner, and it fits Owens well enough.

2. Some of them are there to fill out live event spots and get practice in case other names go down to injury. Other times there's kind of a feeling that maybe their time will come at some point. And of course there's also the fact WWE's making so much money that they can keep a bunch of people under contract and not use them!

3. What separates AEW from NJPW, ROH, and MLW is having a much bigger budget and a much bigger TV deal to showcase their product. That said, I think there are lapsed fans of different varieties. Some want to see more great in-ring wrestling on weekly TV and others want to see angles like what were mentioned here. AEW's got a lot of former and potential future fans to potentially attract, and many want different things. There could need to be some serious experimentation in the months and years ahead to see what mix of which elements brings in the most people.

4. The referee would try to send them back to the tag rope. I suppose it could be ruled a no contest? Yeah I see the criticism of that being a logic hole!

5. I've also lost track! He seems to be trying to go back to Big Money Matt/Iconic Matt, whatever version that was. He does like to keep reinventing himself!

More wrestling tomorrow.
