One year after AEW's most embarrassing night at Brawl Out, Tony Khan has FIRED CM Punk from All Elite Wrestling in a bombshell announcement. Solomonster has all the details that we know about, including Tony's claim that his life was put in danger by Punk's actions last weekend, what exactly is alleged to have happened backstage at Wembley Stadium, what sparked the incident with Jack Perry in the first place, how this situation could get even messier, why it was the right move to make and why a CM Punk return to WWE may not be as obvious as some may think. ALSO... we've got a full preview and PREDICTIONS for AEW All Out 2023, including the planned main event and the return of Bryan Danielson, earlier than expected from his broken arm... FALLOUT from WWE Payback 2023 with two excellent matches and Cody Rhodes bringing Jey Uso to the Monday Night Raw roster, plus where it may be leading... more tragic details on the death of Bray Wyatt... the former tag team on their way back to WWE and the brand they're expected to be on... and Road Dogg blames THE FANS for cheering for Becky Lynch at Summerslam 2018 when they should have been booing her. Who knew that we were the real heels all along!

Solomonster reviews the go home edition of WWE Smackdown for September 1st the night before Payback. John Cena is back and has a confrontation with Jimmy Uso who, by the end of the night, seemingly wants back in The Bloodline... or does he? Bobby Lashley offers an explanation for recruiting The Street Profits that doesn't pass the test, LA Knight and Miz shine on the mic in one final face to face confrontation and PREDICTIONS for Payback.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for August 30th coming off the heels of their biggest show ever at Wembley Stadium. It was a show missing a lot of names due to illness and travel issues, and it suffered for it, but they also had four days to promote All Out this Sunday in Chicago, which didn't help matters. He also speaks out on the CM Punk and Jack Perry situation, their reported suspensions and why it's time for Tony Khan to make the tough decision that he has so far resisted making when it comes to Punk. It's just not worth it anymore.

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for August 28th, a solid effort heading into Payback this Saturday with several long matches, including a Falls Count Anywhere main event with Becky Lynch and Zoey Stark. Gunther laid down the challenge for Raw next week to defend his Intercontinental title against Chad Gable, and there's plenty to say about the decision to hold the match off the PPV for TV instead. And there were even more emotional tributes to Bray Wyatt on the show, plus heartbreaking news details about his death last week.

Solomonster reviews the biggest show in AEW history, All In London from Wembley Stadium before a crowd of more than 80,000 fans. What they witnessed was a largely enjoyable show with an excellent main event, but no matches that stood out as MOTY or all-time classics. And nearly a year after the Brawl Out drama, CM Punk once again finds himself in the middle of a backstage fight. At what point does Tony Khan say enough is enough?

Sometimes, life is just unfair. That was certainly the case this week with the shocking news that Bray Wyatt had passed away, only 24 hours after WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk passed away. Solomonster has a lot to say about both men, their careers, their most memorable matches and moments and the impact they made on the industry. He also shares his thoughts on the death of former Price is Right host Bob Barker, who died today and once made a very memorable appearance on Monday Night Raw. But it's not all doom and gloom... he runs down the full card for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium with PREDICTIONS for the biggest show in AEW history, including who walks out as champion between MJF and Adam Cole, the likely match for CM Punk at All Out next weekend, Chris Jericho attacking Will Ospreay at today's RevPro show and how to book Eddie Kingston now through Grand Slam in NYC... the latest chapter in THE MANY LIES OF HULK HOGAN as he makes the rounds to promote his new CBD line... Edge REFUTES a Pro Wrestling Torch report about WWE rejecting his contract request and how likely it is that he ends up going to AEW... The Judgment Day problem plaguing Monday Night Raw... Devon Nicholson SUED by the referee he mutilated two years ago at an independent show... and NXT HEATWAVE thoughts on the amazing match between Ilya Dragunov and Trick Williams, the Global Heritage Invitational with NXT running it's own G1 Climax-style round robin tournament and the names already announced for it!

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for August 25th, paying tribute to Bray Wyatt and Terry Funk who both passed away this week. LA Knight and Finn Balor did battle in the main event as two of Wyatt's past rivals, and Cody Rhodes made an appearance to talk about one of his father's greatest rivals in the Funker. They will be missed.

AEW presents All In London with more than 80,000 fans expected to pack Wembley Stadium this Sunday, but first, they had one final episode of Dynamite to get through to really sell the show as their biggest of all time. Solomonster recaps the final build for MJF vs. Adam Cole, an excellent contract signing with Chris Jericho and Will Ospreay and a couple of talent changes to matches on the PPV, including the return of Santana and Ortiz.

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for August 21st with yet ANOTHER main event featuring Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn against The Judgment Day. I sometimes feel like I'm watching a replay of the same show every week. At least the crowd in Quebec City was livlier than they were in Winnipeg last week, plus we had a very good Intercontinental title match between GUNTHER and Chad Gable with a finish that keeps the issue between them going into Payback. We also found out what Shinsuke Nakamura whispered to Seth Rollins last week in what was the best promo of Nakamura's career.

WWE and AEW both set impressive business records this week that should be applauded, but it wasn't all good news for Tony Khan. One half of his tag team champions was arrested on an aggravated assault charge stemming from an incident last month that those in AEW may not have even been aware before the news broke. I've got details on the incident where Cash Wheeler is alleged to have waved a gun at someone, his court appearance, what it means for FTR's match with The Young Bucks at Wembley Stadium and why this is a no-win situation for Tony Khan. But the drama continues... with new reports of CM Punk BANNING people from AEW Collision, including the company's head of Talent Relations, a previously unreported backstage incident with Ryan Nemeth at Dynamite and more on Punk's comments last week about Hangman Page. This is a mess of Tony Khan's making that only he and he alone can fix, but will he? Plus, some good comes out of the worst match in AEW Dynamite history, and Darby Allin "shoots" on the state of the TNT championship... why EDGE may have just wrestled his last match, rumors of him possibly showing up at AEW All In and why it won't happen, and where he ranks all time... Lacey Evans GONE from WWE, the many failed attempts at getting her over and why she got Sgt. Slaughter and his daughter so upset... Asuka goes on a BIZARRE Twitter tirade on the Japanese media and how STARDOM was created to personally destroy her... an idea on how to get Cody Rhodes back in the ring with Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania WITHOUT having to win the Royal Rumble... the latest legal update on Tammy Sytch and why she is now facing up to 25 YEARS behind bars... and YOUR QUESTIONS on potential Dark Side of the Ring episode topics and the five greatest matches ever held in Canada!

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for August 16th with Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett in a Texas Chainsaw Masssacre Deathmatch, a match we would find out later was for a good cause. Sadly, that good cause did not include the viewing experience, and it will go down as the worst match in Dynamite history. Sure, there may have been some awful matches before, but none that dragged on for as long. But on the bright side, MJF and Adam Cole did the best promotion yet for All In at Wembley Stadium, while the rest of the card was fleshed out with very mixed results.

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for August 14th with a crowd in Winnipeg that wasn't buying what they were selling. Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus had a bad match with a worse finish to keep their feud going even longer, while Shinsuke Nakamura didn't have much to offer beyond the obvious when it came to explaining why he attacked Seth Rollins last week, and The Judgment Day got its killer instinct back by the end of the night.

Welp, here we go again. After an excellent main event on AEW Collision last night, CM Punk couldn't help but take shots at Hangman Adam Page, which ended up overshadowing the show itself. Were his comments all part of a plan to get Punk and Page back in the ring at All Out next month? I would certainly hope so, but if not, Tony Khan is getting exactly what he paid for. And as AEW continues to break attendance records for it's Wembley Stadium show in two weeks, I've got a lot of thoughts about the card for the show so far, and the impact of running back-to-back PPVs like they're doing. Plus... when the Endeavor deal for WWE is now expected to be completed, Triple H being left off the new Board of Directors and why this "story" is really a whole lot of nothing... the latest on Bray Wyatt's recovery from his "life-threatening" illness, Randy Orton's return to the ring and Sonya Deville's ACL surgery, including my thoughts on how to handle the situation with the Women's tag team titles... Jimmy Uso explains himself on Smackdown, Jey Uso "leaves" WWE, thoughts on them possibly stretching this story out until WrestleMania 40 and the one thing I hope to see WWE do out of this with Roman Reigns... the end of Austin Theory as United States champion and what to do with him now... thoughts on the end of the G1 Climax, Sanada's injury and why Eddie Kingston has been the best story in wrestling this past month... and a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING season finale review on the cautionary tale of Marty Jannetty, including why The Rockers were fired after only two weeks in WWE, the incident with Chuck Austin being paralyzed in the ring, the vicious hotel room fight between Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, the Barber Shop Window incident, why their WrestleMania VIII match never happened, his short-lived WWE returns in 2005 and 2006 and what led to the end of both of them, and his Facebook tale about having murdered a man when Jannetty was only 13 years old... and YOUR QUESTIONS on how to get the Intercontinental title off Gunther at the Royal Rumble, is LA Knight this generation's DDP, what would have become of Brian Pillman had he returned to WCW, what to do if LA Knight continues to gain popularity and Cody Rhodes starts to falter, and what's the greatest unplanned moment in wrestling history?

We had Shinsuke Nakamura turning heel and laying out Seth Rollins, JD McDonaugh being worked into the ongoing Judgment Day drama with Finn Balor and Damian Priest, LA Knight verbally jousting with The Miz and Chad Gable earning a future Intercontinental title match with GUNTHER. Plus, breaking news on Sonya Deville's ACL injury and a suggestion on what to do with the Women's tag team titles.

Jimmy Uso returns to betray his brother during Tribal Combat, IYO Sky cashes in her Money in the Bank to win the Women's championship, Cody Rhodes finishes the story with Brock Lesnar and Shayna Baszler triumphs over Ronda Rousey in an MMA Rules match that completely shit the bed.

It's the biggest Sound Off in YEARS with the fallout from last night's Summerslam, including a disappointing main event and The Bloodline story possibly jumping the shark with Jimmy Uso betraying his brother Jey, IYO Sky cashing in her Money in the Bank and more... Vince McMahon served with a federal grand jury subpoena and search warrant for his home and what it could mean... Paul Heyman calls himself the GOAT, his comments on Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and ranking the top three managers of all time... news on the latest WWE announce team shakeup and Kairi Sane's return to the company... lots of WWE talent frustration from Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus on down to Sheamus and Kevin Owens... Big E gives an update on his future inside the ring... Tony Khan signs The Elite to new contracts and how close they really came to leaving for WWE... breaking down the drama between LuFisto and the members of the AEW women's roster, the troubling accusations and the unified response that came on Friday... BIG new matches made official for Wembley Stadium and thoughts on the Ricky Steamboat angle on AEW Collision... thoughts on the Cody Rhodes documentary on Peacock, including Cody's comments on his AEW departure, Triple H calling them a "secondary promotion" and Tony Khan's response... and a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING review on WCW Bash at the Beach 2000 including Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo each telling their version of what happened that night, Hulk Hogan exercising his creative control clause, the decision to put the WCW title on Booker T and what the original plan was for a tournament and a Hogan return at Halloween Havoc, the promo that upset Hogan and the lawsuits that followed. What a mess. But then again, those words best describe the dying days of WCW.

Plus, thoughts on Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus and Rhea Ripley all being left off the Summerslam card, and final predictions for the PPV.

Brock Lesnar returned for another paint by numbers segment with Cody Rhodes, and Chad Gable lasts five minutes with Gunther.

Solomonster is back with a LOADED EPISODE talking major surgery for Vince McMahon and injury scares for three WWE stars this week, and then a full preview and PREDICTIONS FOR SUMMERSLAM, including LA Knight's spot on the show (and how Shawn Michaels may have saved his WWE career), Grayson Waller and The Rock, possible Money in the Bank cash-ins and Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. Plus, thoughts on an excellent AEW Collision last night with CM Punk revealing the "real" World championship, the special enforcer for his match with Ricky Starks next week, and why Tony Khan has another 6-12 months of matches before he even gets to Punk against MJF... Adam Cole and MJF fail to win the AEW tag team titles and where things go from here, including an interesting free agent sighting backstage... thoughts on the drama surrounding Britt Baker, Taya Valkyrie and the AEW women's division this week, why women's wrestling isn't a priority for Tony Khan, talk of talent with "too much power" and trash-talking that goes on, and who's responsibility it is to put an end to it... Will Ospreay's rumored opponent for Wembley Stadium and it's NOT Kenny Omega... thoughts on Gable Steveson's first live promo on NXT and GREAT AMERICAN BASH PREDICTIONS for tonight's show... and a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING review on the life and career of Bam Bam Bigelow, including his brief stint as a bounty hunter, the famous story of him saving a bunch of kids from a burning building, how Paul Heyman was able to promote his very first match, heat with Andre the Giant and why his first run with WWE abruptly ended, his match with Lawrence Taylor at Wrestlemania XI and why it is NOT the worst Wrestlemania main event of all time, his heat with The Kliq and a wild road story involving Hall & Nash that nearly got them all killed, his forgotten MMA fight in Japan, his ECW Living Dangerously match with Taz and their famous ring break spot, his motorcycle accident and the circumstances around his death. This is not one to be missed.

Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for July 27th, which was mostly a swing and a miss after last week's Blood & Guts show. A couple of good matches and MJF promising an AEW World championship match to Adam Cole, but the best part of the entire show were probably the two seconds MJF took to call Roderick Strong a "default CAW". Also, still waiting on some match announcements for All In, and all eyes seem to be on Collision this Saturday with FTR defending the AEW tag team titles against Cole and MJF.

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for July 24th with an overdose of The Judgment Day, once again all over the show, news on legitimate injuries for Kevin Owens and Liv Morgan and several Summerslam matches made official. Still no stipulation for Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar though. I'm thinking Brock may hate Cody's neck tattoo and maybe that's why he attacked him all those months ago. Hey, it's better than giving no reason at all.

Solomonster reviews AEW Collision for July 22nd as the show continues to highlight some of the best tag team wrestling anywhere on television. This week, it was CM Punk and Darby Allin against Ricky Starks and Christian Cage with Starks stealing another win from Punk as the tease of a heel turn continues. Also, FTR has a message for Adam Cole and MJF ahead of their tag team title match next weekend.

LA Knight fever has been sweeping across WWE for months now as the chants grow louder each week. Despite this, he doesn't appear to have a match on this year's Summerslam card. Solomonster addresses the latest rumor of a planned post-Summerslam push and several signs why Knight is actually in a VERY good position right now, but also why that could change quickly if WWE fails to capitalize on things. He also addresses a PWTorch report about Vince McMahon and Triple H being fans of Knight's work, with a warning about the one thing that could end up derailing his planned push, and he doesn't shy away from the past controversies around Knight that led to his first departure from NXT and his exit from Impact Wrestling. This is a segment that everyone should hear. ALSO... Dominik Mysterio wins the NXT North American title and why it was the right move... Seth Rollins dealing with a lower back injury... a Bray Wyatt return rumored for Summerslam and details on the creative for the planned Wyatt 6 faction earlier this year... Nick Aldis said to have interest from WWE, but not as a wrestler... AEW BLOOD & GUTS thoughts and some interesting story points coming out of it I didn't pick up on after it happened... Kota Ibushi debuts in AEW and why he no longer looks like the Ibushi of old... what should Tony Khan do with MJF and Adam Cole... Teddy Hart arrested AGAIN for a predictable reason... a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING review on Abdullah the Butcher: Legacy of Blood, including the controversy involving Devon "Hannibal" Nicholson allegedly being infected with hepatitis C from wrestling Abdullah, which he claims cost him a WWE contract, the lawsuits that followed and Abby's claim that he doesn't know how to read or write, why neither of them come across as sympathetic characters, the infamous referee incident in Texas with Nicholson and why there should be no place in wrestling for people like that... plus, YOUR QUESTIONS about Tony Khan's recent comments on The Dan Le Batard Show regarding Saudi Arabia and they could affect his TV negotiations with Warner Brothers Discovery, why CM Punk and John Cena outclassed The Rock on the microphone during their feuds, and my Mount Rushmore for each of the "Big Four" WWE PPVs.

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for July 21st with Roman Reigns and Jey Uso agreeing to TRIBAL COMBAT at Summerslam and LA Knight LOSING a US Title Invitational match against Rey Mysterio, Sheamus and Cameron Grimes. A few weeks ago, on LA Knight, Triple H told us "good things come to those who wait." We're going to find out very soon if he was just paying lip service to the fans or if he meant what he said.

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for July 17th with Brock Lesnar assaulting Cody Rhodes in front of his mother and accepting his challenge for Summerslam, new Women's tag team champions being crowned, a Viking Rules match that was more fun than it had any right to be and more. A very good episode of Raw, and I don't get to say that very often.

It's been a hellacious weekend of wrestling with AEW Collision, Impact's Slammiversary PPV, the start of the G1 Climax and TripleMania with Kenny Omega against Vikingo, but we also lost Mantaur.

Seth Rollins' comments about being frustrated by the complacency of the NXT roster a few years ago... the possibility of The Rock returning to WWE for a segment with Grayson Waller and how the ongoing actors strike could influence it...

Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for July 10th, otherwise known as, three hours of The Judgment Day. Cody Rhodes also delivers a message to Brock Lesnar, who wasn't there, and Ricochet addresses Logan Paul, who may soon be under investigation by the FDA. I hope they don't remove his PRIME energy drink from store shelves as I may soon need them to stay awake for these shows.

WWE is bringing Survivor Series to Chicago this year, but conspicuous by its absence is any reference to WAR GAMES. Solomonster discusses whether the match should be revived again and other ideas for this year's show, including the possible return of brand warfare... the Ronda Rousey/Shayna Baszler segment from Raw Monday night... Natalya ranks her Raw match with Rhea Ripley as one of the best of her career, and thoughts on what the top three matches of her career would actually be... Roman Reigns and Jey Uso set for a Summerslam showdown and thoughts on the Tribal Court segment from MSG, and LA Knight being left off the show... thoughts on Kevin Nash calling LA Knight a "total ripoff" of The Rock and a reminder that the entire wrestling business is based off people patterning themselves after stars that came before them... longtime Vince McMahon lawyer Jerry McDevitt RETIRING later this year, some background on him and how he started working with WWE... the latest on Kota Ibushi debuting for AEW in the BLOOD & GUTS match next week and CM Punk offers to take Bryan Danielson's spot in the match against The Elite?... the latest update on how many tickets AEW has moved for Wembley Stadium and the WWE record they may be on the verge of shattering... why Eddie Kingston should be on the list of challengers for MJF's AEW World championship... Jon Moxley comments on blood in pro wrestling, why he's in favor of it being used MORE frequently and why his take is off the mark... FTR and Bullet Club gold steal the show on AEW Collision, which continues to drop in the ratings... a new Japanese women's promotion launching in the US soon?... thoughts on The Judgment Day coming to NXT and the first ever NXT Underground match... and YOUR QUESTIONS on Cody Rhodes and Edge swapping brands, Giulia from STARDOM kicking down the Forbidden Door, and should Randy Orton form his own version of Evolution?

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown from Madison Square Garden for July 7th, 2023 with Roman Reigns going to TRIBAL COURT, which ended in disaster for The Usos, and Jey Uso coming back to challenge Roman to what will be our Summerslam main event. It was another in a long line of excellent Bloodline segments, but it came at the expense of everything else on the show. Even worse, they followed up MITB with no time for LA Knight anywhere on the show. How does that happen?

We open this week with news on the death of Darren Drozdov at age 54 and the catastrophic injury that ended his WWE career, but did not stop him from living his life. Then it's the MONEY IN THE BANK FALLOUT with thoughts on John Cena teasing the idea of a London Wrestlemania, why the AEW Wembley effect is very real and what it will actually take to get the show across the pond... Jey Uso handing Roman Reigns his first pinfall loss in more than three years, where it's leading and why last night was the peak of the Jey Uso story arc... why Damian Priest winning MITB made the most sense story-wise and why LA Knight, despite what others will tell you, is NOT buried, where the man was a year ago compared to now and what to do with him at Summerslam... news on Ronda Rousey's WWE status and why the shocking Shayna Baszler betrayal at MITB suddenly makes a lot more sense... Bryan Danielson suffers a broken door at Forbidden Arm and what it means for the Blood & Guts match on July 19th... Sting takes another wild bump on Dynamite and my concern for him going forward... AEW Collision thoughts, including CM Punk against Samoa Joe next week and where things could be headed for All In & All Out with Punk, Jay White, MJF and Adam Cole... LONE WOLF Baron Corbin returns on NXT... a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING review on the rise and fall of The Junkyard Dog, including the racism he encountered over the years, his success working for Bill Watts in Midsouth and the way he left for the WWF, the drug problems that ultimately led to his downfall, the night New Jack attacked him backstage in ECW and the sad circumstances around his death... plus, YOUR QUESTIONS on doing Danielson vs. Okada over Ospreay vs. Okada at the Tokyo Dome, what was the Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat equivalent in WWE, why Sean O'Haire would NOT have had the career Batista did if he joined Evolution instead, the best WWE video packages ever, and the best TV moments where the villain got what was coming to them.

Solomonster reviews the go-home edition of Monday Night Raw for June 26th, less than a week out from Money in the Bank. A better third hour than most weeks, but outside of a couple of fun matches, not a whole lot here to get excited about. We did get the Raw debut of the NXT champion, Carmelo Hayes, in a losing effort 24 hours before his title defense against Baron Corbin, and another big debut of a former four-legged AEW star.

It's FORBIDDEN DOOR SUNDAY and I've got a full rundown with predictions for tonight's card, including Danielson against Okada and Omega against Ospreay, as well as who's winning this year's Owen Hart Foundation tournaments... CM Punk NOT wrestling KENTA and why it didn't happen, Meltzer reports on someone's BAD MOOD backstage about Punk and it's just exhausting at this point... thoughts on another excellent AEW Collision last night... why we won't be seeing Jeff Hardy for a while... Tony Khan speaks to CNBC about using ChatGPT and other AI to generate promos or book shows... then over on the WWE side, Seth Rollins brings in big numbers for NXT... Vince McMahon makes BIG changes to Smackdown on Friday night and causes frustration behind the scenes... Carlito's WWE status, including when and where we might be seeing him... MONEY IN THE BANK 2023 PREDICTIONS, including who wins the Men's MITB match and my answer might surprise you... LA Knight speaks about his age being a factor in giving him the Max Dupri character... a full DARK SIDE OF THE RING review on the Matt Borne episode and what happened to Doink the Clown, including the out of control drug and alcohol problems that derailed his career, the Mid South fan incident that led to lawsuits and the end of his run there, what he really thought of the Doink gimmick and why the finish of his Wrestlemania match with Crush bothered him, his claim that he was supposed to work with Hulk Hogan at Mania in 1993, his Borne Again gimmick in ECW, his infamous independent "match" with Hacksaw Jim Duggan in 2010 and why his daughter thinks he was murdered... and YOUR QUESTIONS on the anniversary of the Benoit tragedy, could a Bloodline-type story have worked with Bret and Owen in the Hart Foundation, did Survivor Series 1996 plant the seeds for the Attitude Era, why didn't Owen Hart JUST SAY NO to the Over the Edge stunt and go to WCW, and is Paul Heyman right when he says Roman Reigns' current title run is the greatest of all time?

Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for June 23rd, with several changes to the card made by Vince McMahon, including Bayley's match being completely removed. Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler have unified the WWE and NXT Women's tag team titles. LA Knight picked up a big win over Rey Mysterio after the match fell apart in the closing moments. The Usos had a message for Roman Reigns, but after last wek's excellent Bloodline angle, this show tonight was a bore.

Solomonster reviews the final AEW Dynamite before Forbidden Door this Sunday and they announced a lot, and I do mean a LOT, of matches for Rampage, Collision and Forbidden Door, if you can keep them all straight. Okada showed up to confront Bryan Danielson at the end of the show, CM Punk made a surprise appearance in Chicago and dissecting the brackets for the men's and women's Owen Hart Foundation tournaments this year, including Punk's match for Sunday.

Solomonster reviews Monday Night Raw for June 19th with Logan Paul returning and qualifying for Money in the Bank in a hard fought matc...oh, who am I kidding, he was handed a spot in the ladder match just by asking. The open challenge they announced for Seth Rollins and the World Heavyweight Title never happened after Finn Balor attacked him and Tommaso Ciampa is back. Otherwise, a very missable episode that wasn't very exciting.
