CZW Ruins Riddle Surprise? – Not that we needed any help in finding this out, but CZW did Tweet out an image of Matt Riddle with a caption implying that he was making his last with the company before “…signing with the WWE”.  CZW then re-posted the same image, but minus the WWE reference. Now, this isn’t necessarily a spoiler; as CZW may just be speculating.

The long running rumored has linked both NJPW and WWE to Riddle, but the betting line has Riddle going to the WWE, and debuting in NXT in August.

James Ellsworth Firing a Work? – Yes, it was.  Obviously.  However, the real question was did Ellsworth really get let go so fast for a reason, or was it a short run?  It was a short run people.  Ellsworth was never under WWE contract for his second run, and was only brought back for this portion of Carmella and Asuka’s feud.  Big Davey-Boy Meltzer shared this as well, tweeting out;

He wasn’t under contract so was only meant for limited appearances. The TV version was a work. He’s so good at his role I’d be surprised at some point he’s not back. https://t.co/tvB2YxThfU
