Mon. #2 is HERE. To help out the site subscribe to Mistah MegaManFan or support us on Patreon. With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Tuesday's latest wrestling news.

John CenaDuring Raw last night WWE announced that John Cena would return to the show on June 27th to celebrate his 20 years with the company. That's two weeks and six days away.

In an interview with Tokyo Sports, Hiroshi Tanahashi invited CM Punk to face him at Wrestle Kingdom next year. Thanks to @golden_kuma for translating Tanahashi's comments: "January 4th. Wrestle Kingdom. Punk owes me one. I'd like to invite him to Japan. I've been to the US a lot, so come here with a special price. Tokyo Dome is a prestigious stage." I'm going to assume that "special price" means he should put something on the line, like the AEW World Title if he survives the unification match after he returns from injury.

Raw highlights and new WWE related videos are available below.

In addition new All Elite Wrestling related videos are below.

Take this for what it's worth but some people higher up in WWE looked at Stephanie McMahon's departure and "wanted to bury her on the way out." Her leave of absence was her own decision, but there was pressure on her due to the perception the company wasn't growing as much as it should with her in an executive role. Dave Meltzer even hinted that the burial "was going to come from the top" and that there's "a much bigger story" here. (WO)

Apparently Fozzy is touring the Uk from November 4th-14th, which means Chris Jericho would miss a few AEW television dates.

Here Freddie Prinze Jr. talks about working on a Total Bellas special for A&E: "I just did this documentary for A&E about the Bellas and their debut and their contribution to the business and I don't know who all they had on there but hopefully they got Finlay because he was sort of the champion for all of the women's wrestlers back then when they were called up. I mean, this was the guy who was trying to let them do the same techniques and moves the men do, every single production meeting. Hopefully they get Freebird Michael Hayes on there because he was the one that ran into the room when we were about to lose them because Brie Bella called John Laurinaitis and was like, 'Look, our contracts are up, either put us on TV or we're gone' and Laurinaitis called Freebird and was like 'You gotta find a way to get the twins on TV, right now!' And Freebird runs in the writers' room and is like, 'The twins, we gotta get them on TV!' And all the writers were like 'What? Are we even allowed to watch the FCW tapes because you said I wasn't.'"

In this interview PCO explains when his current Impact Wrestling contract will end: "I'm under contract with IMPACT Wrestling and, to be honest, I really like what's going on there right now. I'm really happy with the way that things are going and the way they approach the character and everything. I think they've done a great job so, I don't know. I've got this contract lined up. I've always been very loyal, too, when I sign a deal somewhere. I'm the type of guy that's gonna ask maybe for special permission to go and try somewhere else and see how it goes and how it is. We'll see down the line because my contract is finishing up in October, it's just around the corner. We'll see what's going on there."

Last Friday's SmackDown did a 0.47 18-49 demo with 1.939 million viewers, up 9.3% and 3.3% from the previous week's 0.43 demo rating and 1.878 million. (Wrestlenomics)

It was confirmed on commentary by WWE last night that Cody Rhodes will get surgery on his torn pec on Wednesday.

Impact will be holding events August 12th and 13th in Chicago, and August 26th and 27th in Dallas. The specific venues have not been announced nor what they will tape at those shows. (IW)
