Jericho said he will not be working TV or pay-per-view events on this run but could return to those events soon. Jericho said he’s only working live events this run because he still has Fozzy touring to do and some family vacation this summer.

Jericho also said there won’t be another live WWE Network podcast for a while due to how busy he is now.
Jeff Jarrett’s Global Force Wrestling will be having a press conference Wednesday at 1pm EST at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas to reveal the GFW roster. Apparently there will be a special guest. GFW tweeted the following:
It appeared that Sami Zayn injured his shoulder during his RAW debut last night in Montreal in a match against US Champion John Cena. The injury apparently occurred during his entrance before the match with Cena even began. As Zayn was heading to the ring, he was raising his arms to hype the crowd and it looked like something happened to his shoulder then.
Zayn worked the match anyway. During the match, the referee threw up the X symbol and a WWE trainer checked on Zayn before he was allowed to finish the match. Zayn did appear on the stage for the post-RAW Pat Patterson Appreciation Night segment but his shoulder was banged up.
Zayn will be having a MRI today on his injured shoulder to determine the stint of the injury.
Even though last night was Zayn’s official RAW debut, we don’t yet know if this means that he’s on the main roster for good. Zayn is scheduled for more upcoming WWE TV tapings but that could change depending the MRI results.
During a press conference for this August’s WWE tour of Australia, Hulk Hogan claims he stopped Vince McMahon at a WWE show and told Vince that he would be wrestling at WrestleMania 32.
Hogan stated that he told Vince that he would be on the show wrestling whether that he meant a farewell match or whether that meant he was winning his next WWE title. Hogan said Vince shook his hands and said, “I look forward to it.”
Hogan last competed at a WrestleMania against Vince at WrestleMania 19. Hogan last wrestled at the 2011 TNA Bound For Glory PPV.
