The three hours were:

8 p.m. 2.88 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.08 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.78 million viewers

Stewart helped Rollins win, with the storyline reason being that he wanted to stop Cena from breaking Ric Flair’s World Championship record.

The death of professional wrestler Jon Rechner, popularly known by his ring name Balls Mahoney, has been ruled natural, Monmouth County law enforcement officials said.

Rechner, a native of the borough, suffered a sudden death on April 12 at his 601 Central Ave. home due to hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, said Charles Webster, spokesperson for the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.

"In other words, he had a heart attack," Webster said.

He felt like he spoke the truth, they're all dweebs, there are a few OGs there, but the majority are dweebs, and said you know the WWE wrestlers are all tuning in Saturday and he's giggling his way to the bank. Actually a lot of WWE people may be watching something else on Saturday night.

Now, given WWE's affiliation with the media party, it is very possible there could be some talk with people in WWE, but his coming isn't anything more than one of a number of media appearances agreed to in his video game deal.

Michaels has previously been involved in training wrestlers, operating the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy that notably produced Daniel Bryan and Brian Kendrick.

ROH's announcement touted the relationship with CMLL as a global effort in collaboration with New Japan Pro Wrestling. The promotions had been natural partners due to their strong ties with NJPW but hadn't been officially aligned until recently.

The crossover between the promotions began last month when CMLL's Stuka Jr. appeared at ROH's TV tapings in Philadelphia. CMLL's Dragon Lee will also make his ROH debut at the promotion's All Star Extravaganza VIII pay-per-view later this year, and ROH's Matt Taven will make his way to Mexico for CMLL on September 9th.

Ben Masters, who has been around wrestling for more than 30 years posted that guys weren't getting paid as the money guy said there was no money after he had told people he had a $10,000 advance. He noted none of the fault was the wrestlers nor fans. He said almost nobody was paid and the money from the house show was split with the guys who worked the show.

When Ferrero made contact with security, he bit one of the guards on their forearm but thankfully, the guard did not need medical attention.
Had he waited a moment later, would have been able to attack Rollins during Balor's entrance since the lights were off.

As previously reported, Ibushi is expected to work Summerslam weekend. This means he will likely make an appearance at NXT TakeOver: Back to Brooklyn. The report adds that Ibushi could be brought in periodically to be spotlighted as a way for WWE to display that they want to showcase and sign Ibushi to NXT.

Having a mental breakdown when forced to retire:
"I had to go out to Florida (to shoot Total Divas) and we're in John Cena's house for four weeks or whatever and there's cameras just on you all the time. I just had this horrible mental breakdown."

Retreating to nature to help cope with his extreme sadness:

"That's what I needed. I needed to get away from all of that and just get out to be by some trees. It's hard for me. I don't do really well in cities, which is crazy given that we're flying in and out of these major cities every week. Brie (Bella, his wife) describes it as anxiety. And she would be accurate. I get this anxiety in cities and places like that. When you grow up in kind of a small town and when you grow up around a lot of green and trees and nature and that sort of thing, sometimes I think it's a little mentally disconcerting to be around this concrete."
