Davey Boy Smith Jr. has some nagging knee problems stemming from his bout this past week on FUSION. League trainers are monitoring the Bulldog on a day-to-day basis.

•After a grueling recovery involving extensive physical therapy, Konnan is back at 100% and rumor has it the legendary luchador will be in the house July 6 at Cicero Stadium.

Salina de la Renta has been having some big meetings in the Caribbean. What is the empresaria up to? If her track record is any indication, big moves are on the horizon for the house of Promociones Dorado.

Why has Austin Aries returned? What are his goals? The outspoken top level wrestler has been uncharacteristically quiet thus far. Aries has been training extensively with former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir in Las Vegas. 

•Ross and Marshall Von Erich are readying for their national television debut on MLW Fusion in 2 weeks. The 3rd generation grapplers have been chronicling their training on their Twitter (@RAMVonErich) and Instagram (@RAMVonErichfeeds. With MLW’s roster decimated by CONTRA, will the Von Erichs represent a new hope? 

•Heads are rolling within the MLW production division. The boss Court Bauer wants to know how CONTRA Unit’s propaganda keeps popping up during broadcasts. The production staff prides itself on presenting world class broadcasts yet aren’t sure why these “production glitches” are happening. One theory is that the satellite feed is being hacked. However, is something more nefarious at play? Has CONTRA infiltrated MLW’s operations? 

•Speaking of comings and goings, Aria Blake has returned to the side of MJF after wintering in the posh elite island of Palm Beach in Florida. While some have labeled Blake a gold digger, many believe her presence will be instrumental in the Dynasty’s continued success.

•Mance Warner beer koozies are coming this summer. Grab one at any upcoming MLW event so you can enjoy a cold light beer while watching ol Mancer hit lariats on MLW Fusion.

•Camera operator Charlie Bruzzese is recovering at home after nearly being hit in the face with a fireball. In the closing minutes of this week’s MLW FUSION, Bruzzese was covering the locker room attack by CONTRA when Josef Samael launched an explosive object towards the cameraman. The fireball hit the camera which Bruzzese used to shield his face from the attack. While luckily avoiding the same fate as Rey Feníx, Bruzzese wouldn’t escape unscathed with CONTRA pummeling the beloved cameraman in the wake of their destruction in Milwaukee.

League officials are adding more security to ensure the safety of the staff and athletes. The league has allowed the Lawlor-Fatu title match to continue under protest, citing the champion’s demand to make the match.
