Vampiro will be in the Legends of Lucha Libre action figure line's second wave.
EVIL's first double title defense will be against Hiromu Takahashi on July 25.
NJPW's Lion's Break Collision series will air on FITE.TV.
New Day's latest podcast features former WWE writer Mike Notarile, who worked with the group when they initially formed.
MLW now has official face masks for sale.
WWE Network additions this week:
- Best of Women's Evolution Monday
- Best of Extreme Rules Tuesday
- Day of Backlash 2020 Friday
- The Last Ride: Tales From The Deadman Sunday
Slammiversary will broadcast in Spanish on FITE. I hope that increases the show's reach.
Kevin Owens spoke to Sports Illustrated before Raw:
- It's got to be a tough decision for a lot of talents whether to put themselves at risk by returning.
- Wow. Bold of him to make that policy suggestion. I bet it got him some heat with some talents.
- Social media can be a great place or a really terrible one.
- It doesn't feel like they're overdoing Seth vs. Owens, though there was definitely a time where that was the case.
- I'm very curious what the next years hold for Rey, especially when he does finish getting in the ring. He can do basically whatever he wants wherever he wants; few have that option.
- Owens earned respect from me as a person from this interview.
WWE created a Rey Mysterio filter on Instagram. It continues to look like whatever Sunday's show will be called could be the last we see of him in WWE for a while.
AEW had a Road To Fight For The Fallen.
Tito Santana had a long interview.
Tony Khan spoke to PWInsider before Fight For The Fallen:
- AEW is very, very lucky to have someone as connected and passionate as Khan at the helm.
- We have seen some ingenuity from wrestling during the pandemic.
- Um yeah, I see why TNT likes their title!
- Yikes. It very much feels like Tony's patting himself on the back for not firing people. His actions have been commendable, but it comes across as a bit conceited.
- I've loved the Taz/Cage pairing.
- I'm still a little iffy on Sonny and some of AEW's colorful characters.
- Wow yeah Tony doubling down on the conceit with the talk about demos.
Raw next week will feature Randy Orton vs. Big Show in an unsanctioned match. I'm guessing they moved this from Extreme Rules to try to help sagging ratings.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Honestly I'm not qualified to weigh in on 1 or 2.
3. Given what the Divas usually wrestled in, that probably made sense for a more serious match!
4. Vince prides himself on putting on a show no matter what. As long as he can physically run an event with people competing in matches, he'll do it.
5. Vince will put on a show in front of fans as soon as he's allowed to have crowds of a certain size. He doesn't want to run in front of 300 people like those "bingo hall promotions."
More wrestling tomorrow.
