King Jey Uso may be a real thing, Vince McMahon case takes major turn, wild CM Punk rumors

The episode opens with a recap of an earthquake during a New Japan Noah wrestling show in Tokyo, followed by excitement about the New York Knicks' championship win and WWE's partnership with them featuring Danhausen. Solomon then addresses the massive amount of false rumors surrounding CM Punk, including alleged steroid use, political maneuvering at WrestleMania, and supposed legal threats over a pay cut. He reports that Fightful's investigation found no credible sources within WWE supporting these rumors, and that Punk is expected to return on Raw in Chicago on or before July 6th, likely moving to SmackDown as part of his comeback. He notes that creative plans were adjusted following Randy Orton's injury, which impacted Punk's timeline.

Regarding the King of the Ring tournament, Solomon discusses the controversial finish in the main event where Jey Uso won despite a weak booking choice among four finalists. He predicts Brock Lesnar will interfere in the finals to cost Oba Femi the crown, potentially setting up either Lesnar vs. Oba at SummerSlam or allowing for a last-minute replacement scenario. He expresses concern about the SmackDown brand's weakness, with zero SmackDown representatives advancing in the King of the Ring tournament, and advocates for Punk's placement on Friday nights.

On the legal front, Solomon provides detailed analysis of the Vince McMahon sex trafficking case, explaining how Janelle Grant unexpectedly moved to private arbitration after previously fighting for a public trial. He speculates this could open doors for McMahon's return to WWE, noting that Ari Emanuel previously stated the Endeavor acquisition was contingent on keeping McMahon involved. However, he expresses bewilderment at fan and talent enthusiasm for McMahon's potential return, dismissing the notion that an 80-year-old could be a creative savior.

Solomon covers Liv Morgan's stalker case, detailing how Sean Chan was found not guilty by reason of insanity and will be deported to Canada after attempting to enter Morgan's home and appearing at the WWE Performance Center. He discusses the broader issue of wrestler safety following WrestleMania incidents in Las Vegas.

For AEW content, he criticizes the Forbidden Door concept as having lost its novelty, arguing that interpromotional matches now happen regularly on television, making a standalone pay-per-view feel forced. He analyzes the card including the cage match, Ospreay vs. Swerve Owen Hart final, and notes that Kenny Omega vs. Zack Sabre Jr. announcement lacked proper buildup.

New Japan's Dominion show saw five title changes: Yota Tsuji regained the IWGP World Championship from Callum Newman (who may have suffered a shoulder dislocation), Shota Umino won the IWGP Global Championship, Yo won his first IWGP Junior title, Aaron Wolfe regained the Never Championship, and Great Okan and Hanare won the tag titles. Solomon provides details on the G1 Climax tournament beginning July 11th.

Additional coverage includes Drew McIntyre's absence due to film commitments, Rhea Ripley's knee injury evaluation, speculation about potential SummerSlam matchups, and Vince Russo's revelation that Conan underwent double leg amputation with WWE covering his medical bills.
