SummerSlam:

Finn Balor vs Baron Corbin is official, as is Daniel Bryan vs Miz.

WCW:

Double J says he does not believe we will see a relaunch of WCW...

"I don't believe so. I think you'll see bits and pieces. I think that the War Games, the things that, you know, Starrcade last year, but I think they'll take bits and pieces of that nostalgia and monetize it. But as an overall brand, I think NXT speaks for itself how a smashing success that is that if they're going to invest in a new brand, it's gonna be new. And that makes a lot of sense."

Injury:

Ruby Riott is back after 5 weeks on the bench.

Batista threatens to quit 'Guardians':

Batista has rowed back on his commitment to honour his contract for the 'Avengers' and 'Guardians' films and now says if the director of the first films is not reinstated, he will quit the role of Drax...

"Nobody's defending his tweets, but this was a smear campaign on a good man. I spoke to Chris Pratt the day after it happened and he's a bit religious so he wanted time to pray and figure it out, but I was more like: 'f--k this. This is bulls--t.' James is one of the kindest, most decent people I've met. Where I'm at right now is that if Marvel don't use that script, then I'm going to ask them to release me from my contract, cut me out or recast me. I'd be doing James a disservice if I didn't."

Disney & Marvel are stuck on the precipice of a major PR disaster if they do re-hire him though. In another case of someone scrolling through years of a celeb's social media posts, Tye Dillinger and Cedric Alexander were affected earlier in the week, Gunn's long past jokes about rape, particularly hinting at his sexual activity with young boys, such as posting a tweet that he had just seen a video of a monkey masturbating on a sleeping child's face, which he said he found very funny, could make it impossible for the two media giants to continue to be associated with him, given the current climate in Hollywood.

WWE Impact:

Madison Rayne has revealed the impact WWE's call for her to do the MYC this year had on her...

"I cried. I turned into such a crier the last couple of years. I don't know if it's because I'm a mother, but I cried and cried. It just feels really good after 13 years of really hard work and trying to find out who exactly I wanted to be in the ring and figure out exactly what I wanted my career to look like and what story I wanted to tell. I feel like, after everything I've done, not to say this is the ending point, but this is such an awesome later chapter in the story of my career."

Sami Zayn:

Sami Zayn has had a second surgery on his shoulder.

Wrestler banned:

Sam Adonis has been banned from working for an indie company after they were offended by a promo he cut.

Part time monster:

Kane says he will never close the door on WWE, but his role as mayor is now his priority...

"WWE is always going to be part of me and hopefully I'll always be part of it. I haven't ruled out making special appearances every now and then. My main priority is being mayor, of course. WWE does bring a lot of attention to Knox County, so that's cool. It's just a matter of making sure everything I do — WWE or any other outside stuff — does not impact my role as mayor."

Renee talks why TD was not right for her:

"It was a cool experience, but I think when I was in the middle of it and even when we started and I get the call, 'You're going to be on Total Divas', I was like 'Okay…', because I knew I was going to have to broach this subject with my significant other. Now listen if it was destiny, it probably would have been a little bit different, but I also might not have been on the show if it was just me. It was hard, it was really hard and even now when I see the girls and their on the road, and you've got a camera in your face, and you're taking these vacations that aren't really vacations, it's exhausting, it's really a lot of work. I commend them all for doing it. For the people that it's great for, its great for, but I think the problem that I essentially ran into was that I'm not a private person and my husband is. I didn't want to make him do something that he didn't want to do."

Batista vs Disney:

Batista has called Disney ''Nauseating" ''Fascists'' and ''CyberNazi's'' after firing James Gunn, his director in the 'Guardians' films for social media posts.

"It's a long time, especially when you can't do anything. My dates for wrestling started the day that I could wrestle again. The first show that came after that I was on and I've worked non-stop since then. I was very determined and excited to get back in the ring and do it on my own time and schedule and to get out there and work for all these companies around the world. It's been really rewarding, doing everything and feeling alive and excited by wresting again. It's just going to get bigger and better."

Melina compares theft to rape:

WWE Alum Melina says the theft of intimate pictures of her made her feel like she had been raped...

"That was kind of a horrific experience in my life,. Because that was something very intimate that I was sharing with the love of my life. For somebody to steal that kind of stuff and put it out there. That was really horrible. That's kind of the way it was comparable to my rape in a sense because it was violating. So the person who stole those pictures that I sent to someone I cared about and love, it was an intimate thing between two people who love each other. It was a horrible thing for someone to do. It was something that I needed to learn like I had to cope with, I just don't want it to happen to anybody else. I'm thankful that I was able to overcome that like my mind was able to process that to be able to be okay with it. That's a horrible thing too especially as a woman.''

Alum blames police:

X-Pac is furious over the death of Grand Master Sexay...

"I'm really pissed about this, really pissed. Because I've been in that situation in more than one way. And you don't take someone that's not done something violent or isn't a danger to others. Even then, you don't put somebody in solitary confinement. You don't put people in solitary confinement for that long that didn't do s--t and then go, 'Oh, it wasn't solitary confinement.' It's f--king solitary confinement! I've been in it, if you've never actually been in it I don't want to hear it from you at all. It's torture. It drives you crazy, you don't have to be suicidal, you become suicidal. You stay in there with no one to talk too staring at the walls for that long. I've been there and I've hung myself and so I know. I have a pretty good idea of where Christopher was and it's just about the worst place you can ever imagine. Not only are you in the lowest possible place but you die that way. You never come up out of it... I love Christopher, I was tight with Brian in WWE. He was crazy as f--k no doubt, but if you knew him like I did you would know he's a real wonderful guy."

The Lawler family attorney also seeks answers...

"What's been put out is this is a suicide or attempted suicide. So yes, I would say the family is certainly shocked and surprised at that. I accept the reports for what they are and to the extent that they represent a report. Obviously in this day and time, many places, particularly jails have video cameras in just about every corner. So it would be interesting to see the actual events."

WWE star robbed:

David Otunga had a scare last night...

''I had a close call last night when I was leaving the gym. Having just finished a killer shoulder workout, I was all pumped up as I walked out to my car. When I opened my car door, I discovered a man sitting in my driver's seat stealing my things! I startled him just as much as he startled me and he jumped up in my face. In that split second I had a million thoughts running through my head as I assessed the situation: "Does he have a gun? A knife? It's either going to be him or me who walks out of this, and it damn sure is going to be me!" So my reaction was to yoke him up! To my surprise, he responded by pleading to me for mercy! WTF?! He begged me not to hurt him and to let him go! He then frantically handed me back my AirPods, a portable charger, and an old bottle of lotion that had been in my car (Random. I know). I watched him scurry away terrified and then I noticed that in his haste, he left behind a knife sitting on the armrest. That showed me just how close I was to things possibly turning out differently as he could have easily used it against me. I couldn't figure out why he didn't use the knife and my buddy said to me, "Are you serious? Do you know what you look like in the gym? If you walked up on me with those muscles and grabbed me, I'd plead for my life too!" Lol. I guess my delt pump helped save my life last night (I'm still trying to figure out how he got around the alarm and electronic locks to get into my car in the first place. It sounds like an inside job, if you know what I mean.)''
