Paul reflects on Money in the Bank. The main event of WWE's 2025 Money in the Bank Premium Live Event was Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso versus Logan Paul and Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena. Days removed from the bout, Logan Paul has now reflected on it during the newest episode of his IMPAULSIVE podcast. He shared that he's developing a hematoma on his shin following his springboard moonsault onto Jey Uso through an announce table. Paul recounted being a part of putting the match together and he told Cena about his moonsault idea. Cena told Paul in a dare-ish tone that he could not pull it off. Paul said when he landed, he was unsure if his shins were broken or not. “Dude, I’m good besides this hematoma on my shin. Yeah, it’s getting worked up... It’s before the match and I’m telling John Cena, ‘Hey, I’d like to fit this spot.’ He looks at me and he goes, ‘You can’t make that jump,’ and I go, ‘I swear to God I can,’ and dude, John’s the best. But in full sincerity, he goes, ‘You can’t make that jump,’ and I’m like, ‘Okay, buddy!’ And I found out no one -- successfully? Not so much (has done the move) -- but believed I could make that jump. It was well-executed and I’m f*cking alive. But it was a really hard landing. Really hard… When I landed, straight up, I was not sure if I broke both my f*cking shins." While Paul was down on the outside of the ring, Ron 'R-Truth' Killings made his return to WWE. Truth was informed that the company was not renewing his deal but after a week of fans chanting his name and his colleagues supporting him, he was brought back to the company. Paul stated that he was not clued in about Killings' return. “Dude, I go through this table. I’m cooked. Cusp of death. I’m sitting there just selling but not selling because this sh*t’s real and it all hurts so bad but I hit the move so I’m excited. I’m sitting there like basically knocked out, and Cody (Rhodes) and John (Cena) are in the ring, I’m rooting for my guy John, ‘Get us that win John!’ And dude, out of nowhere comes f*cking R-Truth who I thought was fired. I thought the WWE let him go. Also, here’s the thing, no one told me R-Truth was coming. I didn’t even know. I didn’t even know. So bro, I’m sitting there and he comes back, I’m like, ‘What the f*ck is he doing here!?’ Yes, in the moment (I became a fan) and dude, I’m selling, I’m like, hey, then he hit John and we lost the f*cking match!"

Booker T sees a golden future for Ron Killings. Following his shocking return to the company at Money In The Bank, R-Truth made some more headlines for WWE on this week's episode of Raw, cutting off his braids and becoming Ron Killings. There has been a ton of conversation surrounding Killings; return, with Fightful Select dismissing online theories about the situation being a work. On the latest episode of his Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T commented on the online chatter. “I’ve been seeing so much stuff on social media, when I do look at it, about this — about Ron Killings. Pros and cons, you know what I mean, opposed to just being one of the guys that say, ‘Man, I’m just glad he’s back.’ You know what I mean? The thing is, if he wasn’t back in WWE, he’d be somewhere. He’d be working. All the chatter and all the people trying to quarterback this thing and figure out what happened because of what Triple H said. My thing is this, was it a work? [I don’t think so]. But, if it was, it would’ve been a damn good work, okay?" Booker proceeded to say that the company should've turned the situation into a work before talking about the optics surrounding TKO and their practices as a business. “You might as well. This business has always been about creating, am I right? I think firing him created a moment to actually have what we’re talking about right now. Was it designed that way? No. Was it designed for Cody Rhodes to win at WrestleMania, it wasn’t. But the outpour came out, well, we got to fix this. People go, was it a TKO thing or a Triple H thing. My thing is this, let me give people a little bit of insight on that. When the TKO people came in, Endeavor and all those guys, this was my first thought process. These guys may not know me from Adam, okay, so let me be proactive and get ahead of this thing because I could be next on the chopping block. The only thing I want to know is, guys, just give me a heads up. That’s it. Don’t think I didn’t talk to someone and say, ‘Hey guys.’ You know why? Because I understand, like so many out there perhaps do not, that this is a young man’s business. It’s a young woman’s business. Somebody at my age, if they’re not thinking about a phone call coming at some point in time, they’re delusional. They’re not thinking properly. So when it happened with R-Truth, I’m thinking just like I’m thinking right now when I’m talking to you. At this stage of the game, if I’m not thinking that way, I’m being delusional. No matter how many people out there with love and the outpour of support would hopefully come out and say, give the job back. Don’t think I would be expecting to get it, because I would know my number has come. That’s just fact. That’s it. Can’t sugarcoat it. I’m damn happy that R-Truth is back, damn happy. But people that was crying and trying to make this a race thing and whatnot, it pisses me off. It really does. I don’t think that’s what it’s about.” Booker finished off the topic by saying that he thinks Killings is going to win a world title. “He’s not R-Truth anymore. I like that too. We might see a totally different guy perhaps, almost like Mick Foley and Mankind and Dude Love. Let’s see what Ron Killings brings to the table. I see Ron Killings winning the World Heavyweight Championship. That’s what I see. Put the title on him. How crazy would that be? It would the the biggest thing since, perhaps, putting the title on Mick Foley.” Learn more about Truth's segment on Monday's episode of Raw by clicking here. R-Truth was last a world champion in 2004, as he had a 14 day reign with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

Jayne's first WWE singles title. It was on the May 27th edition of NXT on The CW that Fatal Influence's Jacy Jayne, with assists from Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx, dethroned Stephanie Vaquer to become NXT Women's Champion. Jayne is in week two of her reign and she guest appeared on Busted Open to reflect on this stretch of her career. She stated that the title win was validation because she always knew there was more for her than being a tag team wrestler. “I feel like it was validation, because I feel like I’ve always known I was capable of more than just being a tag team wrestler. It was just waiting for the right opportunity to show the world that. I feel like I have been in so many factions. I kind of just hopped around for a while so you never really saw that other side of me. But now I feel it is my chance to show the world that what you thought of me is not what I am and I am just getting started and I have so much more to show everybody.” Further speaking about the moment, Jayne said it did not hit her until a few days later. When she got some time to herself, she became emotional. “Yeah, I feel like it’s such a blur, to be honest with you (Jayne said about the night she won the NXT Women’s Title). That whole night I feel like is such a blur to me. I don’t know if I was just laser-focused or I was trying not to get in my head. I don’t really know what it was. But it really didn’t even hit me until like two days later. I came home from training one day and I just started bawling, for no reason. But, I feel like that was the first moment that it really hit me. Before that, I feel like I was just on autopilot. Just go, go, go, go, go.” There was an appearance by Fatal Influence on the 6/3 NXT and Jayne was confronted by multiple potential challengers. The lights then went out in the Performance Center and a singular light focused in on the newest arrival to WWE, former AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May. Jayne said when she first turned around, she thought May was Tiffany Stratton. “So at first, I thought it was Tiffany (Stratton). I was like, oh my God! Tiffany’s here. But, then I was like, okay. Well, she doesn’t have a title. Can’t be Tiffany. But I’m excited. I welcome anybody to our division. Let’s see if you can hang with our division and it’s just another shot for me to show everyone that I’m better.” Jayne's first title defense has yet to be determined. Among the names that confronted her before May's debut were Jordynne Grace, Kelani Jordan, Jaida Parker, Lash Legend, Lainey Reed, and Lola Vice.
