Sun. #2 is HERE. Please follow us on Tumblr or Twitter, subscribe to AngryMarks on YouTube or like us on Facebook! Don't miss Ian Clark's WWE Raw Recap at 8 PM ET and Raw clips at 11! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Monday's latest news.

In this interview Jim Ross praises Kenny Omega again: "Kenny keeps striving to get better. He doesn't put himself in a comfort zone for long, which is unlike a lot of guys you see on American television, who have the same basic structure for all their matches on television. I Kenny Omegadon't know if you're doing your best effort or if you're being a real pro if you're having the same basic match every Monday or Tuesday night on television. I don't see Kenny Omega having the same match every week, and I call a lot of his matches on AXS TV's New Japan. Granted, there are some high-profile matches that we're able to bring the fans on Friday nights, but Omega is continually going out and tweaking his game, trying new things, and refining what he's doing. It's a good time to follow a guy like Kenny, who, some day, will be a WWE guy. There's no doubt. I'm glad that he came back to New Japan for another year, and I would think that after he stars at Wrestle Kingdom in 2018, then he very well could be the most coveted free agent that WWE has tried to sign in years."

Brock Lesnar gave Kevin Owens a one-sided beating at yesterday's MSG house show, suplexing him all over the ring then hitting a F5 to finish him off. (wInc) Lesnar is also expected to be on Raw in Detroit tonight. (WZ) Video footage of the aforementioned match is below.

Sami ZaynEven though Stephanie McMahon claimed WWE listens to its audience, the fact they plan to stop pushing Sami Zayn screams EXACTLY the opposite. It appears they've decided that with Finn Balor returning, Seth Rollins returning and Chris Jericho turning face, Sami "just isn't needed" and they're not going to push him on Raw any more. (WO)

Sheamus is appearing today at Cricket Wireless in Madison Heights, Michigan on 48 E 14 Mile Road from 11 AM to 1 PM local time. (PWI)

WWE house show results from Toronto, Ontario, Canada courtesy Mike J are below. (PWI)

* The Golden Truth, The Big Show and Sin Cara beat The Shining Stars, Jinder and Bo Dallas.
* Neville beat Rich Swann to retain the Cruiserweight Championship.
* Sasha Banks and Alicia Fox beat Nia Jax and Dana Brooke.
* Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows beat Sheamus/Cesaro, The New Day and Enzo/Cass to retain the Tag Team Titles.
* Bayley beat Charlotte to retain the Women's Title.
* Roman Reigns beat Braun Strowman via DQ.
* Finn Balor, Sami Zayn and Chris Jericho beat Triple H, Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens.

WWE has announced a return to Madison Square Garden on July 7th. (PWI)

On his latest podcast Eric Bischoff says Rick Rude wanted to wrestle in WCW: "Rick had been involved in a Lloyd's of London policy. He had gotten hurt. He had gotten a pretty big payday out of Lloyd's of London but one of the conditions I believe, I don't recall the details of that settlement with Lloyd's of London, was that he was never going to wrestle again. In order for Rick to get in the ring and put the boots on he would have had to payoff the Lloyd's of London policy that paid him out. So he was restricted by virtue of the settlement that he had with Lloyd's of London from ever wrestling in the ring again. Now, he could be a manager. Which is how I brought him back. As a manager. Rick wasn't happy with that. It was very stressful for Rick and as a result... me. Rick really, really, really wanted to get back in the ring."

Backstage at WWE events turn into cool special moments with superstars sharing very kind/inspiring words about how my career has inspired theirs. Grateful for their words. Great to meet (finally) The Champ herself, @itsmebayley. WWE life is a HARD life, and for the women superstars, it can be even harder. Mad respect and luv I have for them in this male dominated world. You're doing great Bayley! No substitute for hard work, so keep working hard and above all else have fun. And by fun, I mean when it's time to "do the honors" and drop the title, do like I did and look at Triple H, laugh and say "F*ck that noise, I ain't doing that bullshit tonight" and then walk away. Then come back with a big smile, give him a hug and say "Cool what's the finish?" #HaveFun http://www.instagram.com/p/BROrH57F0N8/ - A post shared by therock (@therock) on Mar 4, 2017 at 12:16pm PST

In this promo at an indie show, Shane Douglas ripped on Vince McMahon, Dixie Carter, Ric Flair and more: "While Vince McMahon was creating cartoonland, the type of stuff the little kiddies here in the audience here like, we started a company called ECW. I told Vince where he could shove it, and told bimbos like Dixie Carter how she was screwing it up. For those of you who weren't a part of the era of ECW, understand, you're looking at the guy that made ECW what ECW was. So, simply put: I'm as close to royalty in this sport as it comes. You can go shove your Ric Flairs. Whoops, I mean Dick Flairs. You can pound your Hulk Hogans. Your Bret Harts can lace my boots. Your Shawn Michaels can lose his smile, and he's so afraid of me, he comes out and hands me his belt. Spineless!"

Apparently Rusev is getting shoulder surgery and may miss WrestleMania 33, which could help explain the finish of his unannounced match at Fastlane with Big Show.

Also it seems WWE is not the only one planning a women's tournament - "Sweet" Saraya Knight (Paige's mom) has announced her plans to do the same. "Bellatrix will hold the first Female tournament over 2 shows to crown the first LEGIT FEMALE WRESTLING CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. email me sweetsaraya@hotmail.com and let's join every country in the whole world for one day to crown the best of the best. The Champion of Champions. Friday May 12th will see history being made."

In this interview JTG says he and Shad Gaspard got yelled at by John Cena before their WWE release - all because of how Shad had reacted to the finish of a match: "Our agent, Barry Windham, called Shad, he didn't want to speak to me because it wasn't me that had a problem, so he called Shad to the back and yelled at him in the locker room. He called Shad into the room, yelled at him, then when Shad got out, and he got done getting yelled at by Barry Windham the agent, John Cena let him have it. John Cena let us both have it. And then on the way back, John Laurinaitis called us, let us have it, and the next day we got released at Raw."
