“Bomber” Dave Mastiff is on a collision course with Gallus’ Joe Coffey
After several weeks of rising tension inside and outside the ring, a collision course of massive proportions is about to take place when “Bomber” Dave Mastiff goes one-on-one with Gallus’ “Iron King” Joe Coffey. The animosity between the two titans has reached epic levels, and the potential damage is therefore immeasurable. Who will survive as the “Bomber” steps into Gallus’ kingdom?
Plus, Piper Niven pairs up with Xia Brookside against the nefarious Jinny and her very lucrative investment, the brutal Jazzy Gabert.

We noted back on May 23 that Riott underwent surgery to repair the same injury on her right shoulder. It was confirmed then that she would need to undergo the same operation on her left shoulder at a later date, and that was today.
There’s no word yet on when Riott will be back in action. Riott last wrestled on the April 22 WWE Main Event tapings before RAW, losing to Dana Brooke. She hasn’t been used much since The Riott Squad was split up in the 2019 Superstar Shakeup.

Fightful first reported Lashley was dealing with an undisclosed injury and that his projected return date was in early November.
Lashley last wrestled on the July 15 RAW, participating in a Battle Royal that Seth Rollins won. He lost the Last Man Standing match to Braun Strowman the night before at Extreme Rules.

Can anyone beat Drew Gulak?
Last week, Mike Kanellis nearly became the next challenger for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in an Unsanctioned Match against WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick. However, The Opportunist failed to claim victory, thus leaving Drew Gulak without an opponent for The Biggest Event of the Summer.
After his victory, Maverick declared that he likely wouldn’t continue to compete in the Cruiserweight division, but he would instead focus on his duties, namely finding the next challenger for the title.
As the champion awaits – ready to face anyone who dares step into the ring with him – how will Maverick determine who will challenge Gulak?

Goldberg made an appearance last night on RAW during a MizTV interview segment after it was explained that the contract Dolph Ziggler signed wasn’t for a match against The Miz as previously announced or against Shawn Michaels who was on hand for the segment.
