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. WWE is already hyping up Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar meeting on next week's Raw with articles on their website. Samoa Joe showed no fear when he trapped Paul Heyman in Post-Raw: "Finn Balor appeared for the live crowd in Wilkes-Barre, PA. The dark main event segment saw Seth Rollins recover from his main event loss to Samoa Joe until Bray Wyatt came out to get in Joe's face. They faced off before double teaming Rollins. Balor then made the save to a big pop. Balor and Rollins cleared the ring and hit their finishers before Balor showed Rollins how to do his pose." (wInc) In this interview AJ Styles talks about WWE not making him change his name: "WWE didn't say anything about changing it. I just assumed it would probably happen, but a year prior, maybe a couple of months prior, Samoa Joe had went to NXT and they didn't change his name, so I thought, 'well, maybe there's a chance'. But, at the same time, I was like, 'ah, I don't care what they call me, Velocity, if you want to call me that, whatever.' But I'm glad they stuck with AJ Styles and it actually worked out for everybody." Misc. tweets and social media posts are below! The Money In The Bank Poster is MUNZ! #MITB http://pic.twitter.com/WqssPov8h7 - WellsMania (@WellsMania) June 5, 2017 On last night's Table For 3, Bruno Sammartino talked about how his eight year title run came to an end: "Close to working that schedule for eight years, I told Vince McMahon Sr., you better get somebody. My body is broke. Man, I was hurting from head to toe. And, eventually he did, and I felt bad because he got a guy that I respected very much as a performer. It was Ivan Koloff. I suggested to Vince, I thought Ivan Koloff would be great, because we had done great business all over. Vince said to me, 'What do you think?' I said, I think Ivan, I don't know for how long, Koloff had done so well. I told Vince, I think this guy could carry it."

He's somebody who's always believed in me, and he's had a huge influence on my career. Also, he's the whole reason why Chad and I were put together. It was his idea, and we definitely owe Dusty Rhodes a huge thank you, because if it wasn't for him, there might not be an American Alpha." WWE's July 7th card for Madison Square Garden has been updated with an AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens match. (PWI) * Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt Here's a highlight of Sonny Onoo's interview on Eric Bischoff's podcast: "New Japan is now owned by BushiRoad. I went to their office about a month ago. This guy by the name of Hanazawa is in charge of New Japan's version of kickboxing called KNOCK OUT. During that conversation with their executives one of the things I did I told the story of the first time I went to a Japanese wrestling office with Eric Bischoff. I said, 'One of the reasons we came there was to share our idea about having a kickboxing deal with them.' Here I am twenty years later talking to New Japan who just launched a kickboxing program on their TV shows. You talk about being ahead of our time. It's the same company that owned [Pride] it but they promote it separately. It's called KNOCK OUT. It's funny, Eric, because when I told them this story I said, 'If you ever want to bring the product to the United States you might want to see if you can reach out to Eric Bischoff. He'd be a great guy to do commentary on that show with since we have such history.' Who knows?" Ahead of this weekend's Dominion show, New Japan put up past editions of Dominion for free.

One would be a roller coaster held up by John Cena and a Kuka-arm style ride that sits in the middle of a wrestling ring.
