(STINGER: WWE)

Friday Night SmackDown is in front of LIVE fans...for the first time since March of last year...as WWE returns to live touring.

Friday night’s show at Houston’s Toyota Center is SOLD OUT. Around 15,000 fans are expected to be in attendance.

It’s the last stop before Sunday’s Money In The Bank pay per view.

Bianca Belair will defend the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Carmella.

The Universal Champion Roman Reigns & The Usos will tag up against Edge and Rey & Dominik Mysterio.

Plus, a 4-Way Match involving SmackDown’s Money In The Bank ladder match participants: Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura, Big E and Seth Rollins.

WWE quietly announced the 8th entrant in the women’s Money In The Bank ladder match. It’ll be Tamina.

The NXT UK Championship match between WALTER and Ilja Dragunov being promoted for next week has been called off. WWE announced Thursday that WALTER can not compete due to a severe injury to his left hand. WWE also claimed that the injury was the result of a backstage altercation involving WALTER and Dragunov.

There were TWO title matches on Thursday’s NXT UK.

Tyler Bate beat Joe Coffey to hold onto the Heritage Cup Championship. Bate hit a Tyler Driver 97 in the Fifth Round to secure the win.

Meiko Satomura beat Amale to retain the NXT UK Women’s Title.

Also, Teoman & Rohan Raja beat Ashton Smith & Oliver Carter. Teoman submitted Carter.

(STINGER: Impact)

Thursday night’s Impact Wrestling was the final stop before Slammiversary...and one match was added to Saturday night’s card.

Brian Myers will team with Tenille Dashwood against Matt Cardona...and a mystery female partner.

Dashwood attacked Cardona as he and Jake Something were brawling with Myers and Sam Beale.

Scott D’Amore later met up with Cardona backstage and made the match.

(D’Amore Cardona Slammiversary)

That clip from last night’s Impact.

Earlier in the show, Dashwood & Kaleb With A K lost a tag match to Jordynne Grace & Rachael Ellering. All appears to be well between Grace and Ellering.

Competitors in the Ultimate X Match at Slammiversary clashed Thursday night.

X-Division Champ Josh Alexander, Petey Williams, Trey Miguel & Chris Bey beat Ace Austin, Madman Fulton, Rohit Raju & Shera. Bey pinned Shera with a schoolboy. After the match, Bey battered Shera with a steel chair. And he didn’t stop there. Once the ring was cleared of the opposition, Bey used the chair to smack Alexander and Miguel as well.

Havok pinned one half of the Knockouts Tag Champs Tasha Steelz ahead of Fire n’ Flava’s title defense against Havok & Rosemary.

Joe Doering pinned Fallah Bahh to win a 4-Way main event that also included Doc Gallows and Willie Mack.

Moose blew through Hernandez in a matter of minutes.

Getting back to D’Amore, he told PWInsider that Matt Striker will be back on commentary for Slammiversary.

(STINGER: New Japan)

The Tag Team Turbulence tournament begins on Friday night’s New Japan Strong...with four first-round matches: Yuji Nagata & Ren Narita vs. Fred Yehi & Wheeler Yuta...Brody King & Chris Dickinson vs. JR Kratos & Danny Limelight...Kevin Knight & The DKC vs. Jorel Nelson & Royce Isaacs...and the Good Brothers return to New Japan for a first round match against TJP & Clark Conners.

Back in Japan, the Summer Struggle tour resumes on Saturday...with two singles matches on top of the card: Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Taiji Ishimori...and Rocky Romero vs. El Phantasmo. That’s a preview of the Jr. Heavyweight Tag Title match at the Wrestle Grand Slam show later this month.

(STINGER: ROH)

Ring Of Honor broadcaster Quinn McKay steps into the ring once again on this weekend’s ROH TV. If she can beat Mandy Leon, McKay will take her spot in the upcoming women’s title tournament.

Also on this weekend’s episode...an 8-Man Tag. All four members of The Foundation vs. Shane Taylor Promotions - with newly minted member O’Shay Edwards alongside Taylor and the Soldiers of Savagery.

Plus, Rey Horus vs. Fred Yehi.

We’ll get into the big events coming up this weekend in a moment, but first...

(STINGER: WWE)

WWE has lost a top star to a major injury.

Bayley will be out of action for approximately 9 months after hurting her knee. WWE said it happened during a training session on Friday.

Bayley was set to challenge Bianca Belair for the Smackdown Women’s Championship in an “I Quit” Match at Money In The Bank. Obviously, that will NOT be happening now.

Instead, Belair’s title defense will be moved up to next Friday’s SmackDown - the first in front of LIVE fans since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her challenger will be Carmella.

Now...Carmella was set to be in the women’s Money In The Bank ladder match. But she’s now out of that match and will be replaced by Liv Morgan.

The final two entrants in the men’s Money In The Bank match were decided on last night’s SmackDown. Seth Rollins qualified by pinning a bloodied Cesaro...and Shinsuke Nakamura is also in after he scored another win over Baron Corbin.

At least three women from NXT are joining the SmackDown roster. Shotzi Blackheat & Tegan Nox debuted last night - announced simply as “Shotzi & Nox”. They were the surprise opponents for the WWE Women’s Tag Champs Natalya & Tamina...and they got the win. Shotzi pinned Natalya after a senton from the top rope.

The third call-up is Toni Storm. A hype video last night announced that she’s “coming soon”.

Jimmy Uso did appear on last night’s SmackDown. He and brother Jey took a beating from Edge and the returning Rey and Dominik Mysterio at the end of the show.

Jimmy Uso was arrested and charged with D.U.I. earlier this week. A formal arraignment is scheduled for later this month.

We now know that WWE’s Extreme Rules pay per view will be held on Sunday, September 26th...at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

Major League Wrestling is back in front of live fans Saturday night at the 2300 Arena in bucolic and pastoral South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s Battle Riot III.

The Battle Riot match is a 40-man battle royal with wrestlers entering in 60-second intervals. Eliminations are by pinfall, submission or going out over the top rope to the floor. The winner gets a shot at the MLW Heavyweight Championship held by Jacob Fatu.

Davey Richards is gonna make his MLW debut. He’ll compete in the Riot match...and he’ll also go one-on-one against TJP.

Richard Holliday will defend the Carribean Championship against King Muertes. Cesar Duran - the former Dario Cueto - will be in attendance in Philly.

Plus, a Bunkhouse Brawl between the Von Erichs and Team Filthy’s Dominic Garrini & Kevin Ku.

The show will be broadcast on BeIN SPORTS starting at 10PM Eastern.

(STINGER: ROH)

On Sunday, Ring Of Honor presents its Best In The World pay per view.

Rush defends the ROH World Championship against Bandido.

Jonathan Gresham puts the Pure Title on the line against Mike Bennett.

Dragon Lee challenges Tony Deppens for the TV Title.

HOT SAUCE Tracy Williams & Rhett Titus defend the ROH Tag Titles in a Fight Without Honor against Chris Dickinson & Homicide.

There will also be TWO matches on Hour One of Best In The World, which will be free to watch on multiple platforms: DEMONIC Flamita vs. Rey Horus...and PCO & Danhausen vs. The Bouncers.

(STINGER: New Japan)

New Japan confirmed Friday that its Wrestle Grand Slam show in Tokyo Dome will go on as scheduled on Sunday, July 25th...despite a new COVID-19 related state of emergency in Tokyo. The declaration will mean that New Japan will cease ticket sales for the show on July 11th.

New Japan’s Summer Struggle tour begins Saturday...with the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title being defended in the main event.

Sunday’s show has the tag titles being defended. Tetsuya Naito & SANADA will challenge Taichi & Zach Sabre Jr.

Plus, KENTA returns to action. He’ll tag with Yujiro Takehashi against Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yota Tsuji.

Impact’s X-Division Champion Josh Alexander was on last night’s New Japan Strong. He pinned Rocky Romero in the main event. Backstage, Alexander declared he’s not leaving New Japan anytime soon.

Pro-Wrestling NOAH has a big show on Sunday...with Naomichi Marufuji defending the GHC Heavyweight Title in the main event against Takashi Sugiura.

(STINGER: AEW)

The return of live touring for AEW last night in Miami. And there just had to be some trouble. A fan apparently tried to rush the ring during a face-to-face between Chris Jericho and MJF. Jericho could be seen taking a swing at the fan on TV before the fan was subdued by security.

There was a big surprise during Dynamite. The former Aleister Black - who was identified on-air as both Tommy End and Malakai Black. He surprised Cody Rhodes and Arn Anderson. The arena lights went out without warning...and when they came back on...Black was in the ring. He hit his signature spinning kick on BOTH Arn and Cody.

Another instance of the arena lights going out happened earlier in the show during Cody’s strap match against QT Marshall...but it was played off as a technical glitch. Cody won that match, by the way.

The Young Bucks are still the AEW Tag Team Champions. They narrowly escaped with the titles...but did find a way to beat Eddie Kingston & Penta El Zero Miedo in a Street Fight. This match saw Michael Nakazawa, Brandon Cutler, the Good Brothers and the ELITE HUNTER Frankie Kazarian all get involved. There were also thumbtacks.

AEW Champion Kenny Omega was confronted in the ring...first by Evil Uno and Dark Order...and then by the #1 contender himself Hangman Page, who laid waste to the Good Brothers before Omega slipped away.

Getting back to Jericho and MJF...the hurdles were laid out for Jericho to get another match against MJF. He’ll have to wrestle...and defeat...every other member of The Pinnacle in matches that will each have their own unique stipulations.

The Pinnacle’s Wardlow, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler beat Inner Circle’s Jake Hager, Santana & Ortiz. FTR hit the Big Rig on Hager and Wardlow got the pin.

Andrade El Idolo’s AEW in-ring debut was a win over Matt Sydal.

Orange Cassidy & Kris Statlander beat The Blade & The Bunny. Statlander pinned The Bunny with the Big Bang Theory.

Stars from the MMA world were in attendance. Jorge Masvidal, Amanda Nunes and Dan Lambert. Lambert took the mic at one point and talked trash on AEW...only to be put down by Lance Archer.

New matches announced for next week’s Fyter Fest special:

Jon Moxley is set to return to Dynamite and defend the IWGP United States Championship against Karl Anderson.

Yuka Sakazaki will return to AEW...in a match against Penelope Ford…

And Christian Cage will go one-on-one against Matt Hardy.

(STINGER: WWE)

A future shot at the NXT UK Tag Team Titles is on the line on today’s NXT UK.

Lewis Howley - one-half of the champs, Pretty Deadly - will face Mark Andrews. If Andrews wins, he and Flash Morgan Webster get a shot at the belts.

Also on today’s show...Trent Seven vs. Eddie Dennis...and Nathan Frazer vs. Kenny Williams.

WWE will air matches from the Rolling Loud rap festival in Miami on the July 23rd episode of SmackDown.

(STINGER: ROH)

Major League Wrestling announced Wednesday that Dave Prazak - the founder of Shimmer - is joining the league...to lead the launch of a women’s division. MLW says it plans to premiere its women’s division sometime this summer.

All Japan announced that both Shuji Ishikawa and Black Menso-re tested positive for COVID-19. TAJIRI and ring announcer Ryo Okuda were in close contact with them. All four are now pulled from upcoming shows.

Similar issues in Tokyo Joshi Pro. Pom Harajuku tested positive for COVID-19. Miyu Yamashita and Yuki Aino were in close contact with her. All three are off this weekend’s shows.

The Japan Times reports the Japanese government will declare another COVID-related state of emergency in Tokyo - running through August 22nd. That would cover the full duration of summer Olympics which begin on July 23rd.
