The UFC announced Lesnar's potential violation on Friday. In a statement, the UFC said it was not informed of the potential violation until Thursday which explains why Lesnar was able to compete at UFC 200 on July 9 in Las Vegas.

Might just be an accidental oversight based on the next sheet story but if not, would debunk the recent rumor about Cody's release being a "work" by the WWE to wash away the Stardust stink from his career.

Given how many promoters received cease and desists on the same day, it was obviously a strategy by WWE to hit everyone at once...and WWE is legally within their rights to do so as they would own any professional shots taken by their photographers.

Originally Lesnar was announced and advertised. He has been pulled from all advertising. They will be doing a ton of shooting all day for a potential WWE network backstage documentary.

Giving his blessing to The Club to use the "too sweet" gesture:

"If you're over enough to use that and the people don't sh-- on you, you're over. I don't mind it at all. I just didn't like them bringing in Doc and Anderson, then having that six-man elimination match [against Roman Reigns and The Uso's]. There is no reason to beat those two guys coming in the door. You're missing heel talent and you're going to beat these two guys? But they corrected it. It's almost like, 'No one can get over you except us,' even though you were over someplace else. They make the reference to AJ like he was a Japan guy–he was a TNA guy. He was in Japan for like a year. And the thing is, he's tearing the TV up."
Prior to Nash, Scott Hall gave his blessing for the Bullet Club to use the gesture since he also didn't care if others wanted to use it to help get over. Part of a recent interview Kevin Nash had with Sports Illustrated. http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016...t-brock-lesnar

Incredible match, a MOTY level performance by both men. Crowd was fired up and got hotter as it went. Amazing near falls and counters. Ibushi won with his powerbomb. Fans chanted for the WWE to sign them both after the match.

Alexander even had a curtain call and quick appearance by Triple H to put his arm on Alexander before taking him away. Loud reaction. Unbelievable match and star making performance.

- Akira Tozawa beat Jack Gallagher

- Noam Dar beat HoHo Lun

- The Brian Kendrick beat Tony Nese

- Rich Swann beat Lince Dorado

- Zack Sabre Jr. beat Drew Gulak

- TJ Perkins beat Johnny Gargano

Spoiler tag used since its related to last night's tapings for the 2nd Round of WWE's Cruiserweight tournament.
