– WWE has a new poll asking fans which champion would they like to see John Cena challenge when he returns as a free agent on July 4th – WWE Champion Jinder Mahal or WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. As of this writing, 59% voted for The Modern Day Maharaja while the rest went with The Beast.
– Johnny Gargano will debut a new theme song when he makes return to WWE NXT TV. Gargano taped an in-ring segment at Friday’s Full Sail University tapings, which should air on this week’s episode or the July 5th episode. The theme has new lyrics and was described as a fun remix of the DIY theme. Gargano has been off TV since being attacked by former partner Tommaso Ciampa at NXT “Takeover: Chicago” on May 20th.
– Tuesday marked 6 years since CM Punk’s big “pipe bomb” promo on WWE RAW in Las Vegas. Paul Heyman tweeted the following on the promo:
