Live. He hasn’t been pinned in a match since November’s Survivor Series and that was when he was the last man standing for his team. So where is
this all leading?

According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, there is a chance (with an emphasis on that word) that McMahon will be the one who defeats WWE
Champion Kofi Kingston to end his title reign. At the moment there is no indication that McMahon will be challenging for the title, though that
could change after their current feuds end. Kingston has been WWE Champion since WrestleMania 35 when he defeated Daniel Bryan.

I’ve asked what the payoff is to this major Shane McMahon push & TV time allotment. No one seems to have a solid answer. One source said he could
see (JUST HIS SPECULATION HERE) Shane being the one to defeat Kofi for the title. That would be something.

He won this so maybe he can win again. Check out McMahon’s biggest win to date:

Opinion: I mean, it is the logical way to go with this story. It may not
be a popular idea or something that is going to be well received in any possible way, but WWE has made McMahon the biggest villain on the show and
it wouldn’t be surprising to see this happening. I’m not sure how badly it would go for them, but at the rate the ratings are going, could it be that
much worse?

What do you think of the idea? Will WWE actually go through with it? Let
us know in the comments below.

NXT

Date: June 12, 2019

Location: APGFCU Arena At Hartford Community College, Bel Air, Maryland

Commentators: Nigel McGuinness, Mauro Ranallo

We’re on the road again for the first regular show as we head towards
Toronto in August. I’m not sure what to expect going forward, but we have about two months before the next Takeover, which hopefully is enough time
to set up something great. Hopefully things get back to normal around here, though even their off weeks are still good. Let’s get to it.

Opening sequence.

The announcers run down tonight’s double main event of Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch vs. the Undisputed Era and Kushida vs. Drew Gulak in a submission
match.
Io Shirai/Candice LeRae vs. Marina Shafir/Jessamyn Duke

Shayna Baszler is watching from the ramp. Shirai has a banged up shoulder
so Candice starts by running Shafir into the corner for a jackknife rollup
for two. Back in and Shafir hits a kick to the face so Duke can come in for
a kick to the back. It’s back to Shafir for a judo throw and something like
a torture rack but with Candice bent around the back instead of the
shoulders.

That’s broken up but Shafir kicks Shirai off the apron to keep Candice in trouble. Candice manages to send Duke into Shafir and an enziguri allows
the hot tag to Shirai. The 619 hits Duke and a springboard missile dropkick makes it worse. Shirai hits the Baszler arm stomp on Duke but Baszler pulls
her away from the moonsault. That’s fine with Shirai, who moonsaults onto Baszler instead. Candice dives onto Shafir and Duke and the match is thrown
out at 5:45.

Result: Candice LeRae/Io Shirai vs. Marina Shafir/Jessamyn Duke went to a double disqualification when all four brawled on the floor (5:45)

The huge brawl continues post match with Baszler getting involved as well. Referees have trouble breaking it up and can’t quite get them apart.

We look back at Tyler Breeze vs. Velveteen Dream at Takeover.

Dream talks about how it’s solid and dependable, but he doesn’t mean the title. Get ready for the next experience.

We look back at Drew Gulak vs. Kushida from two weeks ago.
Drew Gulak vs. Kushida

Submission match. Kushida goes with a bodyscissors to start as the
announcers get in their MMA terms. Gulak has to cover up and Kushida spins around his back to show off a bit. Back up and Kushida starts in on the arm before sending Gulak outside without much trouble. The armbar goes on but
Gulak reverse slams his way out of trouble. The Gory Stretch goes on with
both of Kushida’s arms being bent backwards until they almost touch each other.

That’s broken up so Gulak goes with something like a Boston crab to switch over to the back instead. An armtrap headlock (Mauro: “As annoying as a robocall.”) keeps Kushida down before Gulak switches over to a regular armbar. Kushida gets out of that as well and it’s a hiptoss into a basement dropkick. A springboard tornado DDT sets up the cross armbreaker but Gulak
gets a foot on the rope.

They roll around into what would have been a pinfall reversal sequence in a regular match but this time Gulak gets into an ankle lock. Kushida escapes again and takes it to the apron for some kicks to the chest. They slug it
out back inside with Kushida hitting a handspring elbow. Kushida
headscissors him down and slaps on the Hoverboard Lock for the quick tap at 10:07.

Result: Kushida b. Drew Gulak Hoverboard Lock (10:07)

Post match Kushida applauds him and Gulak shakes his hand.

Aaliyah and Vanessa Borne don’t like the idea of Mia Yim thinking she
should get a title shot. They don’t think she looks like a champion so they’ve got her some books, including books on fashion, English and grammar.

In two weeks: Shirai vs. Baszler for the Women’s Title in a cage.

We look at Mansoor winning the battle royal at Super ShowDown and his post match speech.
Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch vs. Kyle O’Reilly/Roderick Strong

Lorcan and O’Reilly grapple to start with Kyle taking him to the mat for a broken up leglock. With that not working, they hammer on each other in the corner until O’Reilly kicks him in the face. Everything breaks down and it’s a big slugout with the Era being sent outside for the running dive
from Lorcan.

Burch sends O’Reilly into the half and half suplex from Lorcan with Strong having to make a save. It’s back to Strong for the loud chops in the corner and the first backbreaker keeps Lorcan in trouble. A running knee to the
back makes it even worse and Lorcan’s throat is catapulted into the bottom rope. The chinlock goes on but Strong lets go so he can knock Burch off the apron in a smart move. Another slugout goes to O’Reilly but Lorcan is right back with a running Blockbuster.

That’s enough for the tag off to Burch so house can be cleaned. A powerbomb into the Crossface has O’Reilly in trouble but Strong makes a quick save. O’Reilly hits a Dean Ambrose rebound lariat for two with Lorcan diving in
for a save. Everything breaks down and it’s a four way knockdown so here’s Jaxson Ryker, who beats up security on the way to the ring. The distraction lets Burch roll O’Reilly up for the pin at 9:45.

Result: Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch b. Kyle OReilly/Roderick Strong Rollup to OReilly (9:45)

Results

Candice LeRae/Io Shirai vs. Marina Shafir/Jessamyn Duke went to a double disqualification when all four brawled on the floor

Kushida b. Drew Gulak – Hoverboard Lock

Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch b. Kyle O’Reilly/Roderick Strong – Rollup to O’Reilly
