Kevin Owens still in NXT, Joe vs Balor, Vince tweets Ronda Rousey
- Although most people expected Kevin Owens to become an exclusive main roster superstar after losing the NXT title to Finn Balor in Japan, he is still booked on shows and will be having a rematch for the belt the night before Summerslam. The Wrestling Observer notes that this could cause booking issues for Owens, who needs to be kept strong.
Meanwhile it's believed that a Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor feud will happen sooner rather than later. Vince McMahon reportedly wants Balor on the main roster as soon as possible, so it makes sense to capitalize with Joe right away.
- In a rare Tweet Vince McMahon congratulated Ronda Rousey for her success at the recent ESPN ESPY Awards:
Congratulations to @RondaRousey for her @ESPYs victories as #BestFemaleAthlete & #BestFighter. @ESPN pic.twitter.com/kXTqGgwCal
