Mon. #2 is HERE. Please follow us on Tumblr or Twitter, subscribe or like us! Don't miss Ian's SmackDown Live Recap at 8 PM ET, The Wrestling Nerdcast at 9 and Nick's 205 Live Recap at 10! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Tuesday's latest news.

Here even Jinder Mahal admits he was surprised by his fast ascent to the top: "I knew that I'd be able to climb the mountain, but in such a short period? I didn't think so. I mean, SmackDown Live is the land of opportunity, and I'm a living proof of that. But you know what? I was given the opportunity during the number one contender's match, and I took advantage of the opportunity. I could have the opportunity that was given to me, and I am very thankful for the opportunities. I was very excited when I was moved to SmackDown Live, because I knew it would be a fresh start. You know which it was, and it turned out to be (true). SmackDown Live is a great place, with a great roster, and many talented Superstars. I'm very excited to be a part of SmackDown Live."

In this interview Jose Aldo's coach Andre Pederneiras says his fight with Max Holloway wasn't stopped early: "He thought Big John stopped it early, but I don't have the same opinion. I'm sure that, when he watches the video, he will change his mind. I saw no way how he would recover in the fourth round after so many punches to the head. It would be hard Holloway not to hunt him after that."

Bruce Tharpe's trademark registration for NWA, the National Wrestling Alliance, has been partially suspended by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for "a likelihood of confusion with a registered mark and under Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45 for failure to show the applied-for mark in use in commerce with any of the specified goods in Class 25. The applicant was also informed that the marks in two pending applications present a potential bar to registration under Section 2(d), if registered. In addition, applicant was required to provide an amended definite identification of goods, provide information relevant to examination under 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b), clarify the mark description, provide clarification regarding the claimed dates of first use, and provide clarification regarding the applicant's claim of concurrent use." This is clearly throwing a monkeywrench into Billy Corgan purchasing the assets of NWA from Tharpe, although their talks are still ongoing. (PWI)

I'm not sure how or why he would have entertained this being a good idea, but Ric Flair got into a fight with a Golden State Warriors fan that left his face mashed and his hand in a cast. (sigh) Not a good look Naitch. Between this and being kicked out of a bar earlier this year I really can't understand what's going through his head... other than copious amounts of alcohol.

Last night's Main Event results are as follows: Lince Dorado defeated Drew Gulak, while Bo Dallas defeated Curt Hawkins. (wInc)
