MATT HARDY TEASES APPEARANCE IN NXT BATTLE ROYAL

- Matt Hardy has teased the idea of being in the 25-man battle royal to become the #1 contender for the NXT title. In a post on X, Hardy wrote that after he "procures the TNA title of the world on Friday," he might just delete 24 other obnoxious ants and also become the NXT champion. Hardy will be wrestling for the TNA title tomorrow night at Against All Odds in Chicago against Moose. The NXT battle royal will take place on Tuesday on USA Network and will also feature other wrestlers from a "different locker room."

LOGAN PAUL INTERVIEWS DONALD TRUMP

- United States champion Logan Paul interviewed WWE Hall of Famer and former U.S. President Donald Trump for his Impaulsive podcast/YouTube series which will drop this week. Trump hyped his appearance by uploading a video on his TikTok having a face-off with Paul as Paul's co-host held the WWE U.S. title in the center. A photo of a smiling Trump and Paul both holding the United States title was also published. The champ said he also reached out to the White House to have President Joe Biden as a guest ahead of the presidential election. You can see the photo at

A FEW THOUSAND TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE FOR SMACKDOWN IN GLASGOW

- With just one more day to go, there are still a couple of thousand empty seats at the OVO Hydro for Friday Night Smackdown in Glasgow, Scotland. Prices did go down a bit, with the cheapest set at ?116.20 each and you can now get ringside seats for ?201.35 each. The timing of the show is also not helping: tomorrow, Scotland's football team plays in the opening match against Germany in the Euro 2024 tournament and that is airing at the same time head-to-head with Smackdown. The Scots love their football and apart from the originally high prices, it's adding to the problem of Scotland not breaking any records for Smackdown.

NXT RATING

- Despite an appearance by Cody Rhodes and no major sports against it, NXT didn't capitalize when it came to viewership and the show drew 718,000 viewers, down 50,000 from the prior week. It had a 0.22 rating in 18-49, which was the same as last week's broadcast and was #1 for the night on cable. This was the second #1 ranking in a row for the show. (Ratings credit: SpoilerTV)

CM PUNK JOINS PARADIGM TALENT AGENCY

- Deadline.com is reporting that WWE Superstar CM Punk has signed with talent agency Paradigm for representation in all areas, especially that of entertainment. Just recently, the same talent agency has added Tiffany Stratton and current WWE World Heavyweight champion Damian Priest to their roster as well as more Superstars look to venture out beyond the world of professional wrestling. The Deadline article writes that after Punk made his spectacular return at the Survivor Series, he moved more than $1 million in merchandise sales in just over 24 hours and continues to be one of the top sellers for the company.

CLASH AT THE CASTLE: SCOTLAND STORE OPEN

- The Clash at the Castle: Scotland store opened in Glasgow this morning. Located at Unit 024 inside St. Enoch Shopping Centre at 55 Enoch Square, the official WWE store has the largest collection of WWE Clash at the Castle: Scotland merchandise under one roof as well as exclusive merchandise, including replica WWE championship titles, Superstar apparel, signed memorabilia, collectibles, mini-titles and so much more! The WWE Clash at the Castle: Scotland Store is a Fanatics experience and is free and open to the public. A separate Clash at the Castle Title Belt Store is also located around 15 meters away from the regular store and it will house the largest selection of replica WWE title belts. Store hours are Friday and Saturday from 10AM to 8PM and Sunday from 10AM to 5PM.

BLOOD & GUTS RETURNING ON JULY 24

- The Blood & Guts match is returning as The Elite - Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, Jack Perry, and Kazuchika Okada - challenged AEW's "best" for the match. The foursome tried to recruit champion Swerve Strickland to be on their team but Strickland blew them off and they attacked him. Of all people, The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn came out to make the save and even the odds, although it's highly unlikely that this trio will be on The Elite's opponents list. Blood & Guts Dynamite will take place on Wednesday, July 24 from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, with tickets going on pre-sale tomorrow at AEWTix.com. The inaugural Blood & Guts match was presented in 2021 and featured The Pinnacle vs The Inner Circle. In 2022 it was The Jericho Appreciation Society vs Blackpool Combat Club and last year we had The Golden Elite vs Blackpool Combat Club.

JACK PERRY ADDED TO TNT TITLE LADDER MATCH

- Jack Perry earned a spot in the TNT title ladder match at the upcoming Forbidden Door pay-per-view after he defeated Dustin Rhodes on Dynamite last night in the qualifying match. The man formerly known as Jungle Boy now joins Konosuke Takeshita and Mark Briscoe in the match, with other participants still yet to be added. AEW has not specified how many competitors this ladder match will have. The TNT title was vacated after then-champion Adam Copeland broke his leg coming off the top of the cage at Double or Nothing. He has since undergone surgery and is targeting a return for later in the year.

NEW nWo BOOK TO BE RELEASED NEXT YEAR

- ESPN reporter Marc Raimondi has announced a new book on the nWo titled Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Pro-Wrestling's New World Order Changed America. Set to be published on March 25 by Simon & Schuster, the 352-page book will have a narrative history exploring professional wrestling’s most popular faction and how their existence influenced American culture like never before. Marc Raimondi is currently an NFL reporter for ESPN and is a longtime former combat sports reporter, specializing in mixed martial arts and professional wrestling.
