WWE RAW Card for 5/20:
- Sami Zayn vs. Chad Gable
- Queen of the Ring Semi-final: IYO SKY vs. Lyra Valkyria
- King of the Ring Semi-final: Gunther vs. Jey Uso
Sarah Logan’s Gas: Liv Morgan revealed in an interview with Open Thoughts that she has never passed gas in the ring, but the same is not true for her former partner, Sarah Logan. The current Valhalla used to apparently let them rip all the time during their Riott Squad days, leaving Morgan with the task of not reacting to the smell she had to work in.
Austin Addresses Another Match: In a special episode of Biography on A&E, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin addressed the possibility of competing in another match. Austin stated that he is satisfied with his WrestleMania 38 bout and feels he has nothing left to prove.
”I walked away. I’m happy with what I did. There are people who have done more and lasted more, but I’ve had a good career and I’m happy with it. I have nothing to prove to anyone.”
Honoring The Cowboy: Over the weekend, “Cowboy” Bob Orton was honored in St. Louis, Missouri. The WWE Hall of Fame legend and father of Randy Orton was inducted into the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame on Saturday, May 18, 2024. The event was part of the SICW Fan Fest II at the Aviator Hotel in St. Louis and included Class of 2024 inductees Leilani Kai, Judy Martin, and Wendi Richter. Announcer George Abel and businessman Harold Koplar were also posthumously inducted. During the ceremony, Randy Orton paid tribute to his legendary father in his speech.

AEW:
Chris Jericho’s Reacts To Heat From Fans: At AEW Dynasty, fans berated Chris Jericho with a ton of negative chants in his direction. He had to admit that he saw those chants coming, especially the ones asking him to retire.
Saraya Returning To The Ring: Next week’s AEW Dynamite will mark the final build before the Double or Nothing pay-per-view. It has been announced that Saraya will team with Harley Cameron to face Toni Storm and Mariah May. This will be Saraya’s first match in over three months; her last match was on the February 7 edition of AEW Rampage, where she teamed with Ruby Soho against Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale. During that match, Ruby Soho betrayed Saraya, ending their association with The Outcasts.
Fozzy All Night: AEW All In is scheduled for August 25th this year, generating significant anticipation. In light of this, Fozzy’s official Instagram page announced the ‘All In All Night London’ performance on August 23rd at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, featuring Swerve Strickland and Flash Garments.
