A few rasslin notes before we get into things

WWE did some more tapings and during those tapings... Nia Jax caught another body or in this case one body for a 2nd time as she apparently cut open Kairi Sane hard way during a match that caused a temporary stoppage to taping while medics made sure Sane was ok

I imagine the only reason that was big rasslin news was due to the fact that it was Nia Jax... who has a history of causing unfortunate injuries to those she works with

Next... tonight could be Matt Riddle's final night on NXT TV as he's expected to get the call up to Smackdown in the very near future, perhaps as soon as this Friday night

And the reason Riddle's apparently going to Smackdown... so he can be on the main roster but not cross paths with Brock Lesnar since the 2 supposedly have legit heat with each other... maybe we'll finally get the big Riddle/Goldberg feud everyone wants

If you watched IMPACT Wrestling last night... you saw the "future endeavor'ed from WWE" Deanna Purrazzo make her debut... marking the 1st of WWE's "Black Wednesday" causalities to make a debut elsewhere (NXT competitors who were let go only had 30 day no-compete clauses, compared to the 90 day no-competes of the main roster personnel)

Now for tonight's previews...

AEW Dynamite is live in Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Fla.

With Cody Rhodes officially crowned as the 1st AEW TNT Champion... he now needs a #1 contender. And what better way to find said #1 contender than a battle royal so we'll do that tonight

Dr. Britt Baker DMD will give an update on the injury she suffered on last week's episode of Dynamite. The hope is maybe she'll only be out 4-6 months instead of up to a year as was feared

The Inner Circle, stinging from the Stadium Stampede loss at Double or Nothing, will hold a pep rally to lift their spirits... and hopefully it'll go a lot better than the Festival of Friendship

Mike Tyson will be back on the show for... reasons

Former Impact World Champion Brian Cage should make his Dynamite debut tonight after winning the Casino Ladder Match at DoN... the only question is not if, but how badly, will he murderize Darby Allin

AEW does need to build up Cage quickly since it's been announced already that Cage will challenge AEW Champion Jon Moxley at the next PPV, Fyter Fest

The reign of Shida begins in the AEW Women's Divison... how much better will the division be now that a genetic female holds the belt again

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NXT on USA comes from the Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla.

Speaking of the "future endeavor'ed" on Black Wednesday... 2 of those people will be used in tonight's show since they're still drawing a WWE paycheck during their no-compete times, Kurt Angle & Drake Maverick

Angle will serve as a special guest referee for the "NXT Fight Pit" cage match between the aforementioned Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher

Rhea Ripley & Io Shirai team up to take on the NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair and a partner of her choosing

Tonight was supposed to be an Undisputed celebration of Adam Cole's NXT Championship reign hitting 1 year long, but that has transitioned into a live negotiation between Cole and NXT GM William Regal about the future of the Velveteen Dream

The WWE/NXT Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament closes in on its grand finale as Group A gets decided in overtime with a triple threat match between the 3 competitors who all finished the round robin with 2-1 records each... Kushida vs. Drake Maverick vs. Jake Atlas

Whoever wins that triple threat will take on Group B winner El Hijo del Fantasma in the finals to crown the WWE/NXT Interim Cruiserweight Champion, most probably at NXT TakeOver: In Your House in 10 days

Guys... AEW's new Women's Champion is quite a looker... even if ladies of the orient aren't your thing

Too soon. They aren’t taking the belt off Mox for a new to the scene Cage...with Jerhicos tour postponed, why not just have him cash in his rematch?

Drew Gulak has resigned with WWE and will appear on Smackdown this week.

Tony Khan had a Memorial Day beach party and apparently Tony Schiavone got really drunk

We should be protecting Kairi at all costs, not making her fight a disgusting land whale.

That damn KO.

Fyter Fest was originally supposed to be in London so I would guess they had big plans for it. Now that its back in Jacksonville it will probably be a second tier ppv like last year's show so I don't see Cage winning. AEW hasn't repeated any main events yet at ppvs so we could still see Moxley vs Jericho or a Moxley vs Cage rematch at All Out.

Tony Khan also confirmed Brian Cage has indeed been signed since January so the rumors were true. Cage initially said he expected to be back around August from his surgery but maybe that was a work too. Anyway I'm sure they've been planning storylines with him for a while now.

I’d like to see Cage work with Omega and Dustin.

But my real hope is that he forms a faction with Spears, & his bff Tessa Blanchard.
