WWE arrest:
Just days after being mocked for his criminal convictions, by John Cena, Jimmy Uso has been caught DUI again this morning. He was found to be speeding and driving erratically. When police managed to stop him he reeked of alcohol, but refused to take a sobriety test.
Punk shoots down AEW links:
"No. I know they like to talk about me a lot. If I text Matt Jackson, 'Hey, have a great show tonight,' which I did when they had their big show in Vegas, that somehow turns into Tony Khan telling people he has a great relationship with me. I've said in the past I've talked to them, but nothing ever came of anything."
WWE Japan:
WWE have donated $1400 to Yoshihiro Takayama's benefit fund. The money was raised by fans at shows on their last tour. Also on the tour, HHH met with the Dragon Gate promotion.
JR reveals main reason he said no to Raw reunion:
"Well, it wasn't in anger that I refused or turned it down. I appreciated the opportunity to come back to Tampa to see all my buddies and so forth. There's a couple of things that led to this decision, and the main thing for me was if I had gone there, there would be a certain segment of the social media society that would've said, 'Uh oh, there's trouble in paradise, JR's looking to bail already, he's already back with WWE, something's wrong with AEW.'"
