Cena anniversary, Henry book news, new NXT matches, Tessa update, Road Dogg's mother passes, Bret Hart launches series, Interview with WWE exec+Charlotte, Australian show postponed, musical press, and Questions on WWE vs. AEW at handling COVID

John Cena celebrated 18 years since his WWE debut.

Mark Henry is working on an autobiography. That could really be great.

Great American Bash this week has added Timothy Thatcher vs. Oney Lorcan. I'm all for that one.

- The show's women's fatal four way is now an elimination match.

WWE is recruiting Tessa Blanchard. She could absolutely be a top player in NXT.

Road Dogg and Scott Armstrong's mother passed away Sunday. Their father is still battling bone cancer without chemotherapy. This is a very difficult time for them, and I wish them the best.

Bret Hart has launched a subscription online series. I feel like he could be used in an important capacity somewhere behind-the-scenes.

WWE EVP John Brody and Charlotte Flair discussed WWE continuing to run shows with SportHiatus.

Australia's PCW postponed its return to July 25 due to COVID-19 cases increasing.

"Rockquiem For A Wrestler" got press.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That would be a tough argument to make given what we know now with positive cases.

2. Either he isn't taking the pandemic as seriously as others would like, or he doesn't want to deal with the time/resources/expenses of full-on testing. Vince wants the show to go on his way pretty much no matter what, dammit.

3. As far as COVID preparedness goes, sure. Ultimately WWE is still seen as the place to get the most exposure and make the most money, but I expect this situation is helping AEW look as an attractive alternative.

4. I don't blame him for doing what he's doing.

Nothing to add to 5.

More wrestling tomorrow.
