OVER 43,000 TICKETS SOLD FOR MITB WEEKEND IN TORONTO

- WWE will have three back-to-back-to-back shows at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto starting tonight with Friday Night Smackdown. The shows continue tomorrow with Money In The Bank and then Sunday with NXT Heatwave before the company heads to Ottawa for Raw on Monday night. Tonight's Smackdown has over 16,000 tickets distributed already, making it one of the biggest Smackdowns of the year. Money In The Bank is the most-sold with over 17,000 already out and will be legit sold out by the time the show kicks off tomorrow. Sunday's NXT Heatwave has over 10,000 distributed, which is fantastic for NXT considering their weekly TV is in front of less than 400 people. With over 43,000 tickets sold in total, it will be another very, very successful weekend for WWE, a company which continues to smash record after record. Their next premium live event, SummerSlam, has over 46,000 tickets already booked.

CODY RHODES COMES TO RESCUE FOR FAN WHO WON MITB TICKETS BUT COULDN'T ATTEND

- WWE champion Cody Rhodes came to the rescue of a disabled fan who won tickets for Money In The Bank and was later told that accessible seats were sold out and he would not be able to go. Mike Ashkewe won a Toys 'R' Us Canada competition for MITB tickets but he received bad news when he was told by Toys 'R' Us that accessibility seating were all out and there was no way for him to go. "At this time we can offer you the cash value for the prize ($301.99) as indicated in the rules and regulations of the contest, or the current admission tickets. Please let us know your preference and we will expedite your prize," the e-mail notification said. Ashkewe voiced his disappointment on X, tagging WWE, The Usos, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes, saying he was going to miss out on a cool experience because he's wheelchair-bound. But hours later, the situation was rectified. "So @CodyRhodes just called me. I am in shock and awe," he wrote. "Like, the American Nightmare made a Canadi
an dream. Like wow. I am speechless. Thank you @wwe for everything and making this happen." Replying to his post, Rhodes told him to enjoy the show and credited WWE and Scotiabank Arena for jumping in to help. Ashkewe also added that WWE contacted him directly to apologize for what happened and assured him that he would be going to the show with all his accessibility needs covered.

TRISH STRATUS AT MONEY IN THE BANK TOMORROW

- WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus wrote on X that she will be at the Money In The Bank premium live event tomorrow live from her hometown of Toronto. Stratus also posted a video getting in a Ferrari - with STRATUS as the license plate - as she drives in the streets of Toronto and stopping right in front of the Scotiabank Arena, the home of tonight's Smackdown, tomorrow's MITB, and Sunday's NXT Heatwave. "See you tomorrow Toronto," she wrote, tagging the WWE and TKO accounts and using the #MITB hashtag. Stratus returned for an extended time last year but exited after she lost a cage match to Becky Lynch at Payback. After the match, Zoey Stark turned on Stratus after the Hall of Famer slapped her.

HENDRY AND KAZARIAN ADVANCE TO SLAMMIVERSARY MAIN EVENT

- Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian were the last two TNA stars to qualify for the TNA World title six-way elimination match at Slammiversary after last night's Impact on AXS TV. Kazarian defeated Mike Santana in the first qualifier while Hendry defeated Jake Something in the main event to advance, and will now join Nic Nemeth, Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin, and TNA World champion Moose in the match and main event of Slammiversary. Slammiversary will take place on Saturday, July 20 live from the Verdun Auditorium in Montreal, Canada.

DYNAMITE RATING

- The Forbidden Door fallout episode of Dynamite this week drew 688,000 viewers, up 8,000 viewers from the prior week. The show had a 0.23 rating in 18-49, up 0.01 from the previous episode, and considering it was on the eve of Independence Day, it has to be considered a very good number. No cable rankings are available. (Ratings credit: PWTorch.com)

MXM COLLECTION COMING TO ROH

- MxM Collection, the artists formerly known as Maximum Male Models in WWE, will soon be arriving in Ring of Honor after their vignette aired on ROH TV last night. The duo, Mace and Mansoor, were released from WWE in September 2023 and continued with their model gimmicks while wrestling on the independent scene. They are now going with the names of Mason Madden and Mansoor. "We put the 'Ho' in Ring of Honor," Mansoor wrote on X after the vignette aired. They had been rumored to be coming to either AEW or ROH for quite a few weeks now and credit to them, they have continued to get over with the crowd with a questionable gimmick which they were given in the first place. The two also appeared for Soft Ground Wrestling in Uganda, helping the wrestling-mad group raise money for their promotion.
