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.

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.

Matt Cardona isn’t messing around with Shotzi Blackheart. Cardona has taken issue with Blackheart’s return to the independent scene, as she has frequently referred to herself as the ‘New Indy God’. In an effort to stop Blackheart from using the name, Cardona took to social media to remind the ‘Ballsy Badass’ that he has ‘Indy God’ and ‘Death Match King’ trademarked. Cardona even threatened to send Mike Dockins, the ‘Gimmick Attorney’, after Blackheart. .@ShotziWWE has 24 hours to publicly apologize to me and take down all posts referring to herself as Indy God and Death Match King.

Speedball looks back on thier match with Kazuchika Okada at AEW Double Or Nothing. At AEW Double Or Nothing earlier this year, Kazuchika Okada and Speedball Mike Bailey would face off for the AEW Continental championship. After a battle in the ring, Okada would walk away with the victory, but Bailey believes it was a beautiful finish to the match. While speaking to Denise Salcedo in a new interview, Speedball was asked about their match with Okada at AEW Double Or Nothing and how he approached it. "Calm, fully relaxed and Zen. Because that is how Okada approaches it. That is how he is as a person and you kind of have to match those vibes if you want to be able to be in the ring with Okada. I feel like that happens a lot with him. People kind of get nervous. Not just around him, but just around pro wrestling, and he does not, and if you don't keep your heart rate as low as his, you kind of can't improve. But he is... he's one of the best for a reason. He's surprising. He's explosive. He's athletic. He knows exactly when to turn it on. He knows exactly when to chill. I think that... Man, that all came to play in that dropkick he gave me at the finish of that match. Very regrettably. A fantastic match. But he caught me out of nowhere with that dropkick. Mid-shooting star double knees. I mean... It's, uh, it's bittersweet because it always hurts to take a loss. But man, did that look beautiful." Speedball Mike Bailey's partner Kevin Knight recently commented on the match with Okada. You can read more about that here.

Goto would love to go into G1 season and Forbidden Door as champion. Hirooki Goto has been reigning as IWGP World Heavyweight Champion since February. He's had six defenses of the belt with his next coming up against Shingo Takagi at Dominion on June 15th. To promote his upcoming defense, Goto was interviewed by NJPW1972.com. AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on 8/24 in London, England was brought up. Goto stated that he'd love to still be IWGP World Champion by the time Forbidden Door rolls around. He named Will Ospreay, Kazuchika Okada, and Katsuyori Shibata as potential opponents for that show. “Of course I want to win the G1 as the champion, but I want more than anything to be IWGP Champion by the time Forbidden Door comes around. I've said before that I want to face Kazuchika Okada and Katsuyori Shibata, and Forbidden Door is my only chance for that. That would be fantastic (to face Will Ospreay). Wrestling Callum Newman in Fukuoka really made me think of Ospreay, and we've never had a singles match. At Forbidden Door, I'd love it to be Ospreay, Okada or Shibata.” While on the topic of defending the IWGP World Title overseas, Goto spoke about the positioning of the IWGP World Title matches on the last two USA-based NJPW events. At Windy City Riot and Resurgence, Goto's defenses were in the semi-main event. He feels that's a shame, but admitted that the double pinfall draw with him and Sabre Jr. at Resurgence warranted their position on the card. “That's a shame. The World Title is the symbol of the very top in NJPW, and whatever anybody says, it should always go on last in my opinion -- in the end, the match (with Zack Sabre Jr. at Resurgence) ended the way that it did though, so being in the semi is a small mercy.” After Dominion, next up on the docket for the company is the New Japan Soul tour which starts June 18th and ends July 6th.
