* AJ Styles vs. Roderick Strong vs. Kyle O’Reilly

* ACH vs. Adam Page
Opinionated View- Awful main events. I thought Briscoe losing the belt meant his main event run was over. Adding OBD and Martini doesn't help anything. The IPPV main event isn't any better Lethal may have the belt but it doesn't change the fact he's done nothing of value since turning heel. And Strong is super boring always has been always will be.

Update on TNA and Destination America
According to Pwinsider.com, here is the latest on TNA’s status with Destination America. At this time, the promotion is moving forward as if they will be on the network after the September. It had been reported (through an internal memo that circulated a month or so back) that Destination America could opt out of airing Impact in September, and that they would due to advertising issues with the show.
Destination America executives were at TNA’s tapings last week and were involved in the process of producing the TV. TNA executives will be meeting in New York this week to discuss future plans for the promotion. The company is operating under the philosophy that they have not been told they are canceled, and that things are business as usual.
The feeling is that while Destination America was looking to opt out of the deal in September, they may continue to air the show through December. ROH’s deal runs through December, so Destination America may give the new block of wrestling time to grow an audience.

Update on Kurt Angle's Health
The Wrestling Observer has another update on the health and update of Kurt Angle, who recently announced during a promo on Impact Wrestling that he has a tumor on his neck, and he will be going in for surgery. Per the Observer, the surgery is not a major operation, and Angle is expected to make a return to the ring in about three weeks after the procedure.
This could mean Angle will be ready to return for the next set of TNA Impact Wrestling TV tapings set for next month (July 22 and 29).

TNA Offical Disputes Report of More Talent Leaving
Bob Ryder of TNA Wrestling took to Twitter this afternoon disputing a report by Dave Meltzer that the contracts of both Taryn Terrell and Awesome Kong were expiring this weekend and that both would be finishing up at the Slammiversary PPV tonight.
Ryder, in a tweet to The Wrestling Observer stated, "Neither of their contracts are up for several months. Amazed you would report something so totally wrong."
He then responded in another tweet adding, "This shows how little credibility he should have. He has never been more wrong on anything he has ever 'reported.'"

Opinionated View- Sadly you have morons that are stupid enough to say Dave has more credibly. Those people are what we call idiots.

Update on TNA James Storm and Magnus
– PWInsider has an update on the pending exits of James Storm and Magnus from the TNA roster. According to the report, both James Storm and Magnus asked for their releases because TNA is running fewer shows than they did previously. As a result, both Storm and Magnus have been making less money.
In addition, Storm and Magnus will have opportunities to work elsewhere and both wanted to try and make more money for their families. TNA reportedly understood both men’s issues, since talent are making less money due to less shows. Per the report, TNA is facing a new reality where the company is largely producing a TV instead of being a full-time wrestling company that regularly runs live events too. TNA now has to change the way the company operates to reflect its current situation.
Currently, TNA’s plan is for both men to come back and continue working the tapings and to be a part of the TV shows while both men work on finding other shows to supplement TNA appearances. TNA is said to be willing to risk allowing WWE to make a run at either talent because the company has so much respect for Storm and Magnus.
Besides Storm and Magnus, Austin Aries’ contract is also expected to expire following the Slammiversary event tomorrow. Per the latest report, TNA still wants to work with Aries in the future.
Opinionated View- Well if they are still on TV that is not really leaving. I mean yeah you run a risk but for people that don't want them to leave this is better than nothing

WWE Files Change of Venue Motion For Viscera Lawsuit
– WWE has filed a change of venue motion in the lawsuit brought by Cassandra Frazier, the widow of Nelson “Viscera” Frazier. The company’s motion requests that the venue be changed from the Western District of Tennesse to Connecticut, noting the similar change of venue motion granted in Billy Jack Haynes’ suit to strengthen their argument.
Frazier is suing claiming that her late husband’s injuries while working for the company contributed to his death, arguing that injuries, “financial losses, pain and suffering, expenses, loss of enjoyment of life, and intangible human losses” were suffered “a result of WWEs willful, wanton, reckless, and grossly negligent and other conduct and omissions, which resulted in Mr. Frazier suffering repetitive serious head injuries, brain trauma, concussions, other serious injuries, and eventually the heart attack which took his life.”

Family of Matt "Doink" Osborne sues WWE over head trauma
The family of the late Matt Osborne filed a lawsuit against WWE in federal court in Dallas, Texas on Friday. The lawsuit, filed by Michelle James on behalf of Osborne's children, claims that traumatic brain injuries resulted in "depression and drug abuse, which ultimately resulted in his untimely death."
"When forced to acknowledge the risks to which it subjects its wrestlers — by script, on a daily basis — WWE took inadequate steps to correct the problem or to address its injurious conduct, the full consequences of which are still coming to light," reads the suit. "Indeed, WWE continues a course of conduct designed to mislead its wrestlers, and designed to mislead Matthew Osborne until his death, about the injuries they sustained while wrestling for WWE by failing to disclose pertinent facts or offering misleading truths." The dollar amount the family is seeking in the lawsuit was not disclosed. Read more on the story at DallasNews.com.
Opinionated View- This will be a hard case for the Osborne family. One he didn't die to a head injury directly it was due to a drug OD and heart problems. Also this was a guy that started in 1978 and he wasn't just a WWE guy he worked for numerous companies during the course of his career. How can they prove it was just or mainly his WWE run that did his damage.

6/25 WWE Smackdown Report
WWE: Then. Now. Forever.
We see footage of Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman from RAW to open the show. Heyman explains how after Brock apologized to JBL and Michael Cole, it is now time to apologize to Seth Rollins for the beating he will obtain at Battleground. Heyman says Rollins has a one way ticket to "Suplex City."
We then see footage from RAW of Seth Rollins sucking up to his former "family members." Triple H tells Seth that he needs to apologize to The Authority members, but as he begins Brock Lesnar interrupts and Seth Rollins is left alone in the ring with Brock. Kane then attacks Lesnar leading to multiple suplexes on Rollins until Kane takes the upperhand giving The Authority an opportunity to take out Lesnar.
Jerry Lawler, Tom Phillips and Jimmy Uso on commentary with Byron Saxton helping on Tough Enough.
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins opened the show with Kane and Joey Mercury by his side. "The Authority is back" proclaims Rollins. Rollins claims he burned suplex city to the ground. Seth gives us another history lesson as he recalls his time in The Shield. He talks about how Jamie Noble suffered three broken ribs on RAW. We see footage of Noble being speared by Brock Lesnar. Rollins said he is dedicating this episode of Smackdown tonight to Jamie Noble.
Kane then says that the Big Show was taken out by a coward in Ryback. We see footage of Ryback and Big Show fighting backstage on RAW where Show was laid out on a pile of pipe. Ryback is called out setting up Ryback vs. Kane later tonight. Ryback is given a lesson on champion conduct by Seth Rollins. Ryback calls Seth Rollins a sell out and says that Ambrose should be champion. They start to walk up the ramp and Rollins doesn’t make it all the way up as he wants to finish the job with Dean Ambrose. Rollins calls out Dean Ambrose for tonight. Rollins and The Authority stand united at the top of the ramp.
Tonight’s matches include:
*Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler
*Alicia Fox vs. Naomi
*Ryback vs. Kane
*WWE Tag Team Champions The Prime Time Players & The Lucha Dragons vs. The New Day & Bo Dallas
*WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose
We see Dolph Ziggler and Lana walking in the back as we go to commercial.
UP NEXT: Dolph Ziggler vs Sheamus
-Commercial Break-
Back from the break we see Dolph Ziggler and Lana in the ring. Lana and Ziggler lock lips and Lana lets her hair down. Sheamus’ music hits and the crowd boos emphatically for the Money in The Bank briefcase holder.
Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler
The match begins with Sheamus sending Ziggler into the corner hitting a series of kicks and punches to the body. Sheamus sends Ziggler into the ropes and Ziggler ducks Sheamus countering with a sleeper hold in the middle of the ring. Sheamus fights out of it and Ziggler wants to hit him with a super kick but the attempt is void as Sheamus ducks out of the ring. Ziggler gives chase hitting Sheamus with a kick sending him off the apron. Sheamus lies outside the ring and we hear a voice from the speakers.
We then see Rusev coming down the ramp with crutch in hand, telling Lana to stop it. Lana meets him half way and Rusev says to stop this and come back to him.

Update on Dolph Ziggler’s WWE Contract Status
Here is the latest on Dolph Ziggler’s status with WWE. His contract is expiring in the next few months, and people close to him have stated that he is considering exploring his non-WWE options when his contract ends. Ziggler has talked with people outside of WWE about his potential if he leaves WWE. There is interest in him from both New Japan and Lucha Underground, and TNA would also likely be a player to sign him.
There is a feeling that if he could work a deal with ROH/New Japan like AJ Styles and the Young Bucks, and then work the major UK events and or big AAA shows that he could earn upwards of $300,000-$400,000 a year. He would also have less road expenses as transportation and hotels will be paid for. He would also work fewer dates, but would likely have to work harder due to the high expectations of the New Japan and US Independent fans combined with the fact that he would have less restrictions on his work
Opinionated View- Well Dolph needs to leave WWE. It's clear he's been beaten down by years of miss use and all the usual WWE BS. And I think he's stopped trying

Will TNA Induct Jeff Jarrett Into Hall of Fame This Year?
Wrestlezone reports that TNA will likely want to induct Jeff Jarrett into the TNA Hall of Fame this year. Their original plan was to bring back AJ Styles but Styles turned down the deal as he’s fine with working in ROH and NJPW.
Jarrett will be in the King of the Mountain match on Sunday, so the announcement would probably happen then. The actual ceremony would happen during Bound for Glory weekend later this year.

Update on Jeff Jarrett’s Relationship With TNA
According to f4wonline.com, the details on the relationship between Jeff Jarrett and TNA are still sketchy at this time. Word is that it will include some form of TNA participation at the July 24th Global Force Wrestling TV tapings in Las Vegas, NV. Magnus is believed to already be booked on the show, and others from TNA could be added. More details as they become available.
Opinionated View- Interesting. Like I said last night if TNA and Global Force can get along it's good for the talent and good for the fans.

Daniel Bryan’s Injury Is Concussion-Related
– According to WON, Daniel Bryan’s injury is a concussion that occurred during his match with Sheamus at the Smackdown tapings after WrestleMania. The issue is described as career-threatening. People within WWE have known about it for some time but were told to keep it quiet and WWE issued denials after the initial reports came out when Bryan was sent home from the European tour.
It is believed that the concussion issues were denied because Bryan worked some matches after it was suffered, which would reflect badly on the company.

Young applies a rear chin lock. When Melendez breaks free, he’s powered down to that mat – and Young attempts to rip off the prosthetic leg again! Melendez fends him off, but Young proves too much when he nails a piledriver for the win.
Winner: Eric Young
