May 31st Episode:

Ciampa acknowledges the injury he suffered the Thursday before Takeover and when they lost, he knew he was going to be out for a while. He figured Gargano would replace him and he would become an afterthought, so he couldn’t let that happen. He said Takeover was supposed to be DIY’s moment but it turned out to be his own moment. Ciampa says he IS professional wrestling. Ciampa puts every one on notice and says he will be the most dangerous man in pro wrestling when he returns

Note: our correspondent was not sure if Ohno vs. Black was for TV or if it was a dark main event. It was also noted that some of the matches may have been taped out of order, and it’s possible nothing was taped for the June 21st episode. We will keep you updated once we have confirmation.
