– Despite winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Sunday's Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view, Rey Mysterio does not appear on this week's episode of Friday Night SmackDown!. The reason for this is because he was given Tuesday's television taping off so he could take his family on vacation to Hawaii. Mysterio's contract with WWE gives him one weekend per month off from live events but he's supposed to appear at all television tapings and pay-per-view events.

– WWE's canceled it entire house show schedule for the weekend of July 4th due to poor ticket sales. The events have been rescheduled for December.

– An interview with Kofi Kingston is available at https://www.telegram.com/ He discusses where he got the money for wrestling school among other things.

– Mickie James will join NBA, NASCAR and NCAA basketball stars as well as PGA pros in a charity golf event to benefit The Hermie and Elliott Sadler Foundation on June 28. More details can be found at https://www.mcaptechdrive.com/
