The TNT title has been vacated as Adam Cole is out injured and unable to compete in today’s match against Kyle Fletcher.
The news was announced during the Zero Hour show.
But a new TNT champion will be crowned on the show today as AEW President Tony Khan revealed a replacement match: a four-way between Kyle Fletcher, Sammy Guevara, Daniel Garcia, and Dustin Rhodes.
It’s unclear what kind of injury Cole is suffering from but the fact that this will not be for an interim title suggests that he will be out for a longer period.
Bill Goldberg’s in-ring wrestling career will come to an end tonight with one final match in a city that he knows too well: Atlanta, Georgia.
The former WCW champion was promised a retirement match by Vince McMahon when Goldberg agreed to take on Roman Reigns in Saudi Arabia several years ago, but that promise was never kept by McMahon and instead, the new WWE regime led by Triple H and Nick Khan made good on the promise, giving Goldberg one last ride.
Goldberg’s last match came in 2022 in Saudi, a defeat against Roman Reigns in a six-minute match at the Elimination Chamber. Prior to that, he wrestled three times in 2021, twice in 2020, twice in 2019, three times in 2017, and once in 2016, which was his return match after 12 years out.
Before returning in 2016, defeating Brock Lesnar in just 1 minute and 25 seconds at the Survivor Series, Goldberg’s last match was also a win against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XX, which had Steve Austin as the referee.
Goldberg had two title wins since his return, beating Kevin Owens at Fastlane in 2017, and then The Fiend at Super ShowDown in 2020. Both runs – with the WWE Universal title – lasted just a month each, losing the titles to Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman respectively.
Tonight at Saturday Night’s Main Event, Goldberg has a chance to add the WWE World Heavyweight title to his collection, but standing in his way is the Austrian Gunther. The program between the two kicked off last October at Bad Blood but that was put on the back burner until Goldberg started intense training to get back into ring-shape for his final match.
With rumors persisting that Hulk Hogan is nearing his end, rumors fueled mainly by his former friend Bubba “The Love Sponge,” Hogan’s wife Sky took to social media to clear the air and dismiss the rumors.
Bubba keeps claiming that friends close to Hogan are lying about his condition and is fighting for his life in hospital following neck fusion surgery.
Eric Bischoff was the first to rebuff those rumors a few weeks ago saying that Hogan was experiencing a reaction to the surgery, but he’s all well and good.
Yesterday, Sky wrote that Hogan is definitely not in a coma and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage as it’s being reported. She was responding to a comment by a user who asked if Hogan was indeed in a coma.
“He’s been recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process,” she wrote. “If you look it up, you’ll see what the last six weeks have involved… not just for his spine, but also for his vocal cords, and the eating/breathing tubes that are clamped over during surgery.”
She did say though that they have been in and out of hospital since then to “support that recovery” and there should be no need “for the drama or panic some people try to stir up.”
Sky concluded by saying that they’re taking it one day at a time as he heals with love, strength, and patience.
Jelly Roll and Logan Paul got physical on last night’s Smackdown as the two look set to be involved against each other at SummerSlam.
While Jelly Roll was singing one of his songs as advertised, the former WWE United States champion interrupted mid-way.
“Everyone is here to see real WWE Superstars,” Paul said as he walked down the aisle. “Surely not to listen to music made for people who have tattoos of their children but don’t have custody of them!”
Paul ran down Jelly Roll and said WWE doesn’t need a jelly roll, but they need Logan Paul. Roll told him he’s in his home town of Nashville and around here, no one gave a damn about his podcast.
As the two went face-to-face, Randy Orton came out to berate Logan Paul but as he was getting heated up, Drew McIntyre showed up from behind and leveled him with a claymore kick. Security officials interfered to prevent further attack but then as McIntyre retreated, Logan Paul started attacking Orton.
Jelly Roll, standing in the ring, then went and grabbed Logan Paul and got him off Randy Orton. Logan tried to get back in the ring but security prevented that from happening.
Paul then took out his frustration by destroying Jelly Roll’s musical equipment at the top of the stage.

A new interim women’s ROH TV champion was crowned yesterday during the ROH Supercard of Honor.
Crowd favorite Mina Shirakawa defeated Persephone, Yuka Sakazaki, and Miyu Yamashita in a four-way match to get the title, with Shirakawa winning the match after she submitted Yamashita with the figure-four leg lock.
The match came together within a few days after AEW President Tony Khan announced that the champion, Red Velvet, was out of action due to injury and could not defend the title on the show.
Rather than stripping her of the title, Khan announced that an interim champion instead would be crowned at Supercard of Honor, with the match only made official before the show started.
Shirakawa and Velvet will now meet at a later date once Velvet is cleared to compete to determine the champion.
The Smackdown tag team division has a big problem as The Wyatt Sicks won the WWE Tag Team titles last night from The Street Profits.
It was the team of Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy who took on Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins during Smackdown and they needed the help of Erick Rowan to finish the job.
As Rowan took out Ford following a distraction, Dawkins took out Rowan by bulldozing him over the barricade near the time keeper. Ford recovered and went to his frog splash finisher but this time he missed as Lumis moved. He tagged in his partner Gacy and the two performed their finisher on Ford, with Gacy pinning him for the victory.
The rest of the Wyatt Sicks then joined in the ring for the celebration.
This ends The Street Profits’ 118-day reign as champions, winning them from #DIY on an episode of Smackdown in December of last year.
It’s the first titles of any kind for both Lumis and Gacy in WWE.
Here are the results from last night’s Supercard of Honor 2025 which took place from the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
ZERO HOUR: Blake Christian defeated Jay Lethal; The Dark Order defeated The Frat House in a six-man tag team match; Diamante defeated Lady Frost; The Von Erichs defeated The Premier Athletes.
PPV: Hechicero defeated Michael Oku; AR Fox defeated Adam Priest, Atlantis Jr., and Lee Johnson in a $50,000 four-way match; Lee Moriarty defeated Blue Panther to retain the ROH Pure title; The Sons of Texas defeated The Infantry to retain the ROH Tag Team titles; Nick Wayne defeated Titan to retain the ROH TV title; Mina Shirakawa defeated Miyu Yamashita, Persephone, and Yuka Sakazaki in a wild card four-way match to become the new interim ROH Women’s TV champion; Athena defeated Thunder Rosa to retain the ROH Women’s title; Bandido defeated Konosuke Takeshita to retain the ROH World title.
TNA star Trey Miguel announced that he will be taking some time off after Slammiversary to undergo surgery.
Miguel said that he will have hernia surgery following next week’s TNA pay-per-view and was given a choice and he chose to be there.
“I will give it my absolute best because that’s what @ThisIsTNA deserves and you the fans,” he wrote.
He will be teaming up with Zachary Wentz in a four-way tag team ladder match for the TNA Tag Team titles on the show against The Nemeths, The Hardys, and Fir$t Cla$$.
Miguel added that a full recovery is expected as this is a minor surgery.
“Thank you all for the well wishes and messages. Apologies to anyone I missed and didn’t get to reply to,” he concluded.
HGTV announced that a new show titled Junk or Jackpot is coming to the network which will be executive produced by current WWE champion John Cena.
“Yes, that John Cena,” the social media post said.
Junk or Jackpot will feature host Bobby Berk following collectors as they discover the true monetary value of their extremely unusual trinkets. From rare puppets to dolls and superhero figurines, surprises await at every turn.
“What we collect is a reflection of who we are and what we love,” Cena said. “Grateful to @HGTV and Bobby for making this project come to life!”
Fans who purchased tickets in certain sections at State Farm Arena for Evolution received e-mails from Ticketmaster saying that their seats were upgraded to a better view.
The reality is that a lot of the upper sections which were originally opened for sale were closed off and those who purchased tickets in those particular sections had to be moved.
The 15,000-seater arena will have its smallest wrestling attendance yet as only just over 6,000 tickets for Evolution were distributed as of now according to @WrestleTix.
Evolution is the last of three WWE shows happening in Atlanta this weekend, with NXT Great American Bash at Center Stage and Saturday Night’s Main Event at the State Farm Arena both happening tomorrow.
Saturday Night’s Main Event is doing much better in ticket sales, with over 12,000 tickets out so far. Booking Evolution on July 13 was not a brilliant idea from WWE considering Beyonce is running a concert across the road at the same time at the much-larger Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The first Evolution in 2018 drew 10,900 fans at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
Gail Kim, who worked for several years with TNA Wrestling leading the Knockouts division, reacted to TNA President Carlos Silva’s comments from earlier this week on The Ariel Helwani Show.
Silva said that releasing Kim was a very hard decision, his hardest one so far since he took the reigns of TNA, but one he said which was necessary to “reinvigorate” the division.
“I want to let it be known that I was pushing for that for a year plus before Carlos Silva came in,” Kim said in a post on social media. “To grow homegrown talent and do more with the KO division. I was fighting for that since Scott departed.”
Apart from heading the Knockouts division, Kim was also a producer and worked in the talent relations. She was dismissed in March along with three other TNA executives.
“My loyalty and passion towards the KO division should never be questioned and how I wanted that division to be upheld,” Kim continued. “I fought for them on the weekly. Just wanted my thoughts to be clearly delivered.”
Kim remains without a job officially but has been working backstage at NXT lately.
The All In go-home episode of Dynamite had 637,000 viewers, up 53,000 viewers from last week’s episode. The show drew a 0.16 rating in 18-49, up 0.01 from last week and was #1 on the top 50 cable chart for the night. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)
Texas wrestling legend Kevin Von Erich has signed a contract with AEW, described by his sons like a legends deal similar to the one which Sting has.
The news was revealed by Ross and Marshall Von Erich during their latest episode of The Claw podcast.
“So my dad’s coming with us. I don’t know if we should, or if it has been announced or anything, but my dad is officially AEW,” Marshall said. “He’s on the team. He’s with AEW now.”
He said that the two of them were also surprised that it happened but said it’s awesome that AEW are able to do “cool stuff like that.”
Ironically enough, The Von Erichs are not officially on the card for tonight’s Supercard of Honor. They currently hold the ROH Trios titles with Dustin Rhodes.
The Costco Guys are bringing back the boom tomorrow night as Big Boom AJ, Big Justice, and The Rizzler will be appearing on AEW’s biggest show of the year.
Big Boom AJ, a former independent wrestler himself, will also see some action as he will be teaming up with Tomohiro Ishii, Hologram, and Kyle O’Reilly to take on Trent Beretta, Lance Archer, Rocky Romero, and Hechicero in an eight-man tag team match during the Zero Hour show.
All three appeared on Collision last night after Big Boom AJ hinted on social media that he would be going to Texas this weekend for All In.
This will be his third match in AEW, and his third Zero Hour appearance.
A vignette for Real1, the artist formerly known as Enzo Amore in WWE, aired on TNA Impact last night.
The vignette was “paid for by Fourth Rope,” the promotion which he holds the Flyweight title for.
In the promo, he said that TNA are in his backyard next week for Slammiversary and he always has a guy on the inside. He said he can buy a ringside ticket and show up but then mentioned an angle which took place several years ago at the world’s most famous arena.
“Remember what happened at MSG,” he asked, saying that he wouldn’t recommend that. He was referring to the time when he and Big Cass attacked The Briscoes in an angle worked like a shoot at Madison Square Garden when NJPW and ROH teamed up for an event during WrestleMania weekend.
Amore also pulled a stunt at the Survivor Series in 2018 when he was sitting a ringside facing the hard cam under disguise until he was recognized and eventually ejected. He was fired from WWE earlier that year after he faced sexual assault allegations.
NXT drew 695,000 viewers this week for the Great American Bash go-home episode, an increase of 68,000 viewers compared to the prior week. The show had a 0.16 rating in 18-49, up 0.01 from last week. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)
