(STINGER: WWE)

Tonight’s NXT will have the first fallout from TakeOver 36…

PLUS, the finals of the NXT Breakout Tournament: Carmelo Hayes vs. Odyssey Jones...Timothy Thatcher vs. Ridge Holland...and Hit Row vs. Legado Del Fantasma.

Last night’s Raw put a number of storylines into motion...leading to three pretty big matches being announced for next week.

The Miz ambushed John Morrison, putting an end to their partnership. Those two men will meet in a match on next week’s Raw.

The breakup went down after Xavier Woods beat Miz. Morrison tried to spray Woods with a drip-stick...but got Miz instead.

Doudrop formally cut ties with Eva Marie - although she’s keeping the name for some reason. Eva attacked Doudrop backstage to seal the split. Those two are also set for a match on next week’s Raw.

Last night’s show opened with the NEW United States Champion Damian Priest confronting WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. That eventually led to Priest & Drew McIntyre taking on Lashley & Sheamus. Lashley walked out on his partner...and Sheamus was pinned after a Claymore from McIntyre.

So, Lashley will face Sheamus in a non-title match on next week’s Raw.

The celebration for the NEW Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair was interrupted by Alexa Bliss...but she only wanted to say “Hi”.

As for the former champ, Nikki A.S.H. tagged with Rhea Ripley and beat Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler. Ripley pinned Baszler with the Riptide.

Riddle pinned AJ Styles with Bro Derek to win last night’s main event.

Also, Karrion Kross - with some snazzy new entrance gear - beat Ricochet.

Some details are emerging about the frustrating problems for the live fans in attendance at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for SummerSlam.

At one point during the show, the stadium’s cashless payment system went down, leaving fans unable to buy ANY concessions.

This was part of a nationwide outage to the credit card processor TSYS. PetCo Park, the home of the San Diego Padres, was also affected.

(STINGER: AEW)

An indoor mask mandate will be in effect for all three shows AEW is running at the Now Arena outside Chicago...culminating in the All Out pay per view.

The order covering all of Cook County, Illinois went into effect on Monday...in response to an increase in COVID-19 cases.

Dissension in Dark Order!

Colt Cabana, Alan “5” Angels & Evil Uno lost to Death Triangle in the main event of last night’s AEW Dark: Elevation.

A reversal late in the match led to Uno delivering a forearm strike to Angels...and Angels later took the pin. After the match, Uno was clearly upset at Angels. Cabana and the rest of Dark Order had to step in to cool off the situation.

No rest for Angels. He’s back in action TONIGHT on Dark...against Dante Martin.

Also on tonight’s Dark…Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor & Wheeler Yuta vs. Matt Hardy & TH2.

Cassidy, Taylor & Yuta beat TH2 & The Blade on last night’s Elevation. Cassidy pinned The Blade.

(STINGER: New Japan)

New Japan is running four straight days at Korakuen Hall starting Tuesday.

IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Shingo Takagi and BUSHI are NOT on any of the cards after they tested positive for COVID-19 last week. Neither are six other wrestlers pulled from shows last week due to their contact with Takagi and BUSHI: Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, EVIL, Yujiro Takahashi, Gedo, and Dick Togo.

This week’s shows will feature the debuts of two NEW Young Lions. Kosei Fujita and Ryohei Oiwa. They’ll face one another on all four shows this week.

(STINGER: ROH)

Two women are now in the semifinals of Ring Of Honor’s women’s title tournament. On this past weekend’s ROH TV, Rok-C beat Quinn McKay...and Miranda Alize beat Nicole Savoy.

The main event saw DEMONIC Flamita beat Rey Horus in a No Disqualification Match.
