Kevin Owens Reportedly Not Injured

Dave Meltzer speculated on Friday’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that Kevin Owens may be injured and that is the reason WWE decided to have him drop the United States Championship to AJ Styles at Friday’s Madison Square Garden event.

In an update, Meltzer discussed Owens US Title loss once again on Sunday’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer is now claiming that there is “no indication” that Owens is injured. He said that the reason they had Styles drop the title was simply a booking decision by the company.

It still remains unknown exactly if WWE plans on having Styles defend the championship in a re-match at WWE Battleground. They have removed the listing for the match so they may have other plans.

We will keep you updated.

Major Update on Austin Aries’ Release from WWE

It was previously reported via Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio that Austin Aries asked for his release from WWE and the company granted it. However that doesn’t appear to be the case.

In the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Radio, Melzter claimed that it was actually WWE’s idea to release Aries from his 3-year contract with the company. The word is that a lot of the writing staff didn’t like him and he appeared to be thrilled when he was handed his release because he wasn’t happy with his current position on the roster.

In regards to his future, Aries can still use his name outside of WWE because he used it prior to signing with the company. Aries is locked into a 90-day period where he is being paid by WWE and can work dates that WWE proves during that time.

Main Event Plans for This Year’s SummerSlam

While the current betting odds favor Braun Strowman to defeat Roman Reigns at tonight’s WWE Great Balls of Fire event, Dave Meltzer claimed on Wrestling Observer Radio that the plan is still for Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar at this year’s SummerSlam event.

As previously reported, original plans called for Reigns to walk out of WrestleMania 34 as WWE Universal Champion, however WWE made a decision to move the match to SummerSlam instead. These plans were changed sometime around the time Braun Strowman returned to WWE programming.
