The WWE Shareholders lawsuit against Vince McMahon is scheduled to begin on June 8. The shareholders believe McMahon sold WWE to Endeavor to help himself stay in power and shut out potential buyers that may have been more suitable. Last week, McMahon and WWE President Nick Khan were sanctioned by Judge J. Travis Laster for their handling for Signal messages, which were allowed to “disappear”. McMahon, Khan, and other TKO executives are expected to testify during the trial.

On “Grilling JR”, AEW’s Jim Ross weighed in on the upcoming trial. “Where there’s smoke there’s fire and there’s fire here, I think. That’s a very unique case that’s going to expose a lot of conversations.” Due to a lot of money being involved, he expects it to be very hostile. Ross notes that he doesn’t know Khan, but he’s been successful with WWE. He says his former boss “has a noose around his neck.” Ross said “it’s not a case that will be over quickly, I don’t think. Because of verbiage; ‘what did you mean by that?'” He also says it’s taking important people away from their work for an extended period of time and they can’t afford to be distracted.

B.J. Bethel reports that the trail will begin on Monday and run through Wednesday. The court will have an off day on Thursday and the trial will end on Friday. POST Wrestling’s Brandon Thurston confirmed the schedule. He notes that a judge will not make a judgement for several months. 

The WWE shareholder trial begins Monday. At the Delaware Court of the Chancery. It runs through Wednesday with a day off Thursday and the final day on Friday.

Last night on “AEW Dynamite,” MJF retained the AEW World Championship against Rush in a No Count Out Match, and though he escaped with the victory, he picked up an injury that will cause him to miss time in the ring.

This Friday, MJF was scheduled to compete against Bobby Orlando at Beyond Wrestling’s Break The Walls Down in Cranston, Rhode Island. However, on Thursday, Friedman informed Beyond Wrestling that he will be unable to compete at the show after injuring his knee against Rush.

“Unfortunately @The_MJF hyperextended his knee during his match last night & is not medically cleared to travel or compete. He will not be in Cranston tomorrow night but assured me he will wrestle for Beyond Wrestling as soon as his schedule allows. We wish him a speedy recovery.”

Although the AEW World Champion promised Beyond Wrestling that he will compete for them once he’s healthy, his match against Bobby Orlando was going to be his last appearance on the independent wrestling scene in America for the foreseeable future. Earlier this week, MJF claimed that he’s shifting all of his attention to AEW going forward, and came to this decision after losing the world title to Darby Allin in April. Additionally, MJF was intending to put the AEW World Championship on the line against Orlando.

Earlier this year, MJF stated that he was finally feeling healthy again following the torn labrum he suffered near the end of 2023. Hopefully the knee injury MJF suffered on Wednesday is not as severe, but there’s currently no update on the timeline for his return.

Ever since he debuted in AEW, there have been many questions about Mick Foley’s role in the promotion, and he recently outlined several roles for which he believes he would be a good fit.

Foley returned to pro wrestling at AEW Double or Nothing, where he hosted the pre-show with Renee Paquette. The WWE Hall of Famer stated that that role is something he would be well-suited for in AEW, while also listing a few other roles he could take on.

“Well, I think my role is to be the Swiss Army knife of AEW, and I’ll work in wherever I can and wherever they need me best. There’s quite a few things I can do. I can host those shows with Renee. Renee is so much fun to work with. I think I could do a good job on publicity, for being sent out a day or two early to get some publicity. I believe I could take on a managerial role for, you know, a handful of misfit babyfaces or heels, and try to take some of the guys in the middle of the card and give them a little boost up a little closer to the top of the card,” he said on “The Ariel Helwani Show.”

Foley praised the way AEW and Tony Khan handle the promotion’s mid-card, stating that they do a better job than WWE in that area. He also added that AEW places greater emphasis on tag team wrestling, which is another aspect in which it is better than WWE.

Another role that Foley could have — and is open to — is getting back in the ring for a farewell match. AEW CEO Tony Khan left that decision up to Foley, while the WWE Hall of Famer — who hasn’t wrestled since 2012 — hinted that it could be a possibility in AEW.

JBL has backed the returns of Baron Corbin and Enzo Amore to WWE.

The WWE legend recently spoke on the “Something To Wrestle” podcast, where he hoped that the rumors of Corbin’s return are true. He feels that the former WWE star has the talent to get over with the fans, which he feels is something not every wrestler can do.

“I was hoping that Baron wouldn’t just retire or then decide, you know, the heck with it, I’m done with wrestling because I thought he had a lot to offer. And you see from what he’s done with MLW and what he’s done on the independents, he does have a lot to offer,” he said. “Baron Corbin has gotten over, and guys like that are rare. And for him to leave and go off and do good things, it just makes him more valuable. He can be a top guy, and he has been a top guy, but he can also be anywhere on the card because he’s a good talent. Baron’s a smart guy. He’s a good wrestler. He’s a tough guy, which helps because people know it is legit, and it helps when people look back into his background and realize that this guy is a legitimately tough guy.”

The most recent reports about Corbin’s return to WWE stated that the company is keen to re-sign him, with him reportedly wrapping up his commitments with other promotions.

JBL, while giving the thumbs up to Baron Corbin for a return to WWE, also believes that another former star, Enzo Amore — who has had a controversial past — should be brought back to the promotion. He stated his surprise at WWE not re-signing him after allegations against him were proven to be false.

“I think it’d be great. I was there when Enzo came in, and I saw him get over. The guy could talk. I mean, the guy has just an innate charisma about him, and he got over. He got over really well. Cass did as well,” he said. “I was really surprised they didn’t [bring him back] after the allegations turned out to be false, but I think it’s a great time for Enzo. He’s been doing great stuff with Fourth Row. I think he would be a lot better now than he was, and I thought then he was very good.”

Recent reports have suggested that Amore could already be back in WWE and was rumored to have been spotted at the WWE Performance Center. He is rumored to feature in “WWE NXT” following his return to the promotion.

Chad Gable possibly had his greatest night at AAA Noche de Los Grandes, but Bully Ray wonders if he will be allowed to showcase his new demeanor on the WWE main roster.

Gable wrestled as El Grande Americano against the imposter El Grande Americano in a mask vs. mask Match, which told a tremendous story that has been praised unanimously. Ray, while speaking on “Busted Open,” said he is eager to see how the character progresses once Gable returns to the main roster.

“I’m very interested to see where this goes because the most over Chad Gable has ever been in his career was what he just did in Mexico. He’s been doing El Grande Americano on the main roster for a while. Did it resonate with the US fans the same way it resonated with Mexican fans?” he asked. “So we’re asking all of the United States or the rest of the world to be as emotionally involved, invested in Chad Gable without the mask on, as Mexican fans were invested in him with the mask on.”

Ray hopes that fans in the United States and around the world are as invested in Gable now as Mexican fans were when he donned the mask. Gable’s wrestling ability has been lauded by many, and Ray hopes WWE will be able to use that to draw fans in. He feels Gable’s character worked within the bubble of AAA, but wonders whether it can succeed in WWE.

“We need to be able to get into Chad Gable, the wrestler, as much as we were able to get into Chad Gable, the luchador. Will they give him that opportunity on the main roster? I know why it succeeded in Mexico. I understand why in that bubble it really worked. Now you’re going to step out of that bubble,” he added. “Mexican wrestling in Mexico has always been in and of itself.”

He’s keen to see how the Gable character does once he’s left the bubble of Mexico and returns to WWE.
