ROH TV focus, another WWE event on FS1, Lana reveals family COVID diagnoses, Interviews with Royce+Spears/Kross/Nyla/Kidd, McMahon family member passes, Keith Lee dedicates GAB win, conventions canceled, Impact preview, more on FTW title, Great American Bash + Fyter Fest audiences, Street Profit family expands, Armstrongs honored, and Questions on wrestling stipulations and a WWF title change that was canceled

ROH's TV show this week focuses on Vincent.

FS1 will air Summerslam 2016 on July 21.

Lana announced her mother and father have both tested positive for COVID-19. That's very unfortunate. I wish the whole family the best.

Peyton Royce and Shawn Spears spoke to Chris Van Vliet.

Karrion Kross discussed NXT and more. I hope great things are coming for him.

Nyla Rose is on the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast.

Dynamite has been featured on watch parties with Japan's Gatoh Move.

Linda McMahon's mother passed away at 93. Condolences to the entire McMahon Family. 

Keith Lee dedicated his Great American Bash win to "Killer" Tim Brooks. Lee visited him a few days before his passing. Keith is a great representative for WWE. NXT is in good hands.

80s Wrestling Con in New Jersey and Wrestlecade have been canceled due to COVID-19.

Impact has announced:
- Contract signing between Jordynne Grace and Deonna Purrazzo
- Moose and a partner vs. Tommy Dreamer and Crazzy Steve
- Taya Valkyrie, Rosemary, Kimber Lee, Kiera Hogan, and Tasha Steelz vs. Havok, Neveah, Susie, Kylie Rae, and Alisha Edwards

The FTW Championship used at Fyter Fest was the original championship belt. Taz has kept the title in his possession since it was last seen in ECW, and he owns all rights to it. We'll see if he makes the obvious move to sell merchandise.

El Rey Network is airing classic lucha movies:
- El Santo and Blue Demon vs. Dracula and The Wolf Man on July 11
- El Santo and Blue Demon vs. Dr. Frankenstein on July 18

Matt Hardy was on Highspots' latest virtual gimmick table.

Great American Bash Night Two drew 759,000 viewers, surprisingly down from the last two weeks for what was billed as the most important match in NXT history.

Fyter Fest Night Two drew 715,000 viewers, also a little bit down from last week. Notably this show didn't feature Jon Moxley vs. Brian Cage for the AEW Championship as originally planned, which surely had an effect.

- Tony Khan tweeted after Dynamite drew fewer viewers than NXT for the third week in a row: Tweet 1 Tweet 2 Tweet 3 Tweet 4 While he's correct that AEW is drawing better than expectations, I can't help but view this as defensive, and it makes me wonder what happens if NXT continues to draw more viewers for an extended streak. 

WWE will report their 2020 second quarter financial results on July 30.

Drew McIntyre will have an episode of "WWE 24."

TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd) spoke to Alicia Atout.

Angelo Dawkins' son was born.

The Armstrong Family has been honored by the Southeast Wrestling Hall of Fame.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to add to 1, 4, and 5.

2. Ultimately I think it would be up to "WWE Management" or whomever books the match in question. Generally titles don't change hands unless it's a pinfall or submission, though. 

3. Ouch. And we think Vince makes sudden booking changes in modern times!

More wrestling tomorrow.
