Current rumor going around the net teases at a Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon match to occur at SummerSlam.
The original plans were supposed to have been Owens wins the US belt via cheating at Battlegrounds, Shane appears and demands the match to be restarted, and Styles wins after the restart.
Owens appearance at Talking Smack was meant to be him trashing Shane and starting to goad him into doing a match at SummerSlam.
Spoiler tag used since its related to rumored SummerSlam plans.

Another version that made the rounds last week is that Jarrett was being belligerent to Strowman. We are told the incident happened at a bar after Jeff Hardy's musical show following Raw in Nashville. A witness to the event told PWInsider, "It was a drunken conversation between two drunk people in a bar that got loud, nothing more."

The Patron suspension appears to be a decision Ed Nordholm is holding to and not something Jeff Jarrett or anyone from the wrestling side have continued to push. There has been communication between the two sides, almost daily. Nordholm did not respond to a PWInsider.com request for comment on the situation.

Ross last worked for WWE calling The Mae Young Classic with fellow Hall of Famer Lita in July. He will also be calling the live finale in September. Ross made his return to WWE at WrestleMania 33, calling The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns. Ross also called the WWE UK Title match between Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate at WWE NXT "Takeover: Chicago" in May. It was reported earlier this year that Ross signed a two-year deal with the company.

But, there was no "if you give me X, I will stay" conversation, according to that side. All signs are that the Hardys are preparing a lawsuit against Anthem.

On July 24th the WWE filed a new trademark for Taboo Tuesday. For those who may remember the WWE ran two PPV’s under the name Taboo Tuesday, the first being October of 2004, and the second in November of 2005.
The Taboo Tuesday PPV has fans vote online what stipulations and which opponents certain wrestlers should have. Past stipulations included outfit for a diva battle, weapon of choice match and what type of gimmick match should take place.
The PPV eventually changed it’s name to Cyber Sunday, with the last one taking place in Phoenix back in 2008.
