The rivalry between Sami Zayn and Johnny Knoxville continues, as the latter crashed Zayn’s comedy show in Toronto on Thursday night.
Earlier this week, Knoxville took to Twitter to tease that he was heading to Toronto. This led to Zayn replying with, “WTF is this …?!”

During last night’s Sami Zayn & Friends Comedy Show, the Jackass star showed up and attacked Zayn. Knoxville snuck up on Zayn during the curtain call and gave him a low blow kick.
As of this writing, there is no word on if Knoxville will be showing up at Saturday’s WWE Money in the Bank 2024 pay-per-view event.
In addition to Knoxville, Trish Stratus, Bayley and Cody Rhodes appeared at the comedy show.
Minoru Suzuki provided a positive update on his status after the NJPW legend suffered a concussion mid-match on Saturday. Suzuki was wrestling for Tenryu Project at their Osake Crush Night show on July 6, a trios match pitting Suzuki, Kengo and YASSHI against Tomohiro Ishii, Yuji Hino, and Don Fuji for the Tenryu Project WAR Six-Man Tag Team titles. But the match was stopped by referee Keigo Yushino when, as he would explain on social media, Suzuki did not respond to initial calls.
Yushino noted that Suzuki wanted to continue, but it was determined that he would not be safe to do so and the match was thrown out. In an announcement posted by Tenryu Project, it was revealed that Suzuki was diagnosed with a concussion after hospital examination, he has since been discharged and the promotion confirmed it would be keeping tabs on his condition over the next few days. The statement made note that Suzuki is walking and talking properly, not showing any significant symptoms and did not suffer any bleeding on the brain.
“Murder Grandpa” has since taken to social media himself, stating he’d had a CT scan which reflected no particular issues, further assuring fans that there was no need to worry. He said that he remembered everything about the incident, including the moment he collapsed. Tenryu Project said in its statement on the matter that it apologized for the abrupt finish to the match, and that it will endeavor to book a rematch once the 56-year-old is ready to return. Suzuki had been active this week leading into his collapse, wrestling twice during Hiratsuka Shinshiku Yokocho Tanabata Matsuri on July 5. He has been teased for an upcoming clash against AEW’s Chris Jericho, confirming he wouldn’t team with Jericho at Forbidden Door last weekend for the first time, and that he would be seeking a shot at the FTW Championship when they do meet.

The TNA World Champion and the NXT North American Champion have been teasing a clash. WWE and TNA have staged appearances from one another’s rosters as of late, with Jordynne Grace challenging for the NXT Women’s Championship and then defending her TNA Knockouts title just days later against “WWE NXT” star Tatum Paxley.
As such, North American Champion Oba Femi earmarked TNA World Champion Moose when asked who he’s looking to face in a potential crossover. Not one to take the challenge lightly, Moose has taken to social media to call Femi’s bluff.
“Ok Oba Femi my Nigerian brother. Get your boss Shawn Michaels the chef to call my boss and I’ll gladly take down “NXT’s” juggernaut. #TrustTheSystem,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The Wyatt Sicks continues to scare Chad Gable and make fans question their motives after appearing in the opening segment of Monday’s episode of “WWE Raw.” Money in the Bank ladder match contender Jey Uso opened up the show, but was interrupted by Gable and the pair faced off, arguing about their respective families and stables, as well as the Wyatt Sicks, before beating each other down.
Gable rolled out of the ring before Uso could hit his signature splash, but the lights in the arena went dark and the familiar piano tune signaling the Wyatt Sicks’ arrival began. The camera swung around and revealed that Uso was no longer in the ring, and smoke began filling the area. Gable hopped the barricade and started backing away into the crowd, but encountered the former Joe Gacy as Huskus the Pig, Dexter Lumis as Mercy the Buzzard, and Erick Rowan as Ramblin’ Rabbit, all backlit and menacing as Gable continued to attempt to escape. He jumped another barricade and ran up the steps of the arena, as the broadcast cut down to ringside, avoiding another implied beatdown by the stable.
Abby the Witch, formerly known as Nikki Cross, appeared in the fog and gave Michael Cole another VHS tape that was revealed to say “play me” on the side when the commentator revealed it later to the audience. Last week’s tape featured Bo Dallas seemingly holding a therapy session with himself, speaking to his Uncle Howdy character about his late brother, Bray Wyatt, whose ideas the Wyatt Sicks stable was based on.
When the taped was played on “Raw,” it showed Uncle Howdy and Dallas once again seated across from each other in what appeared to be the Firefly Funhouse. Dallas asked Howdy how much longer they were going to keep “doing this,” and why they were even there. Howdy then Dallas if he honestly believed he brought him to life, to which Dallas responded he was “destined to do this.” He told Howdy that they are the ones that “everybody wanted to forget about.”

The most important part of the interaction came when Dallas said the other members of the Wyatt Sicks weren’t chosen, just willing, and they’ve become a family. Dallas seemed to imply that the faction is going after Gable for a reason.
“Even now, the false prophets parade, belittling their family for their own gain,” Dallas said. “It’s disgusting. They must pay for their sins.”
Howdy asked Dallas why he thought it was his responsibility, to which Dallas replied, “I am the voice of the reckoning,” and Howdy quickly responded, “I am the reckoning.”
The video then cut to Howdy and Dallas seemingly forming together, repeating the phrases, “I am nobody,” “I am all of us,” “I freed them from the cave,” and “I gave them family.” As they chanted, Howdy disappeared and fans only saw Dallas sitting in the Funhouse by himself. Howdy then reappeared and Dallas was then gone. “There you are,” Dallas’ voice said to end the video tape.
