Evening Daily News Update: July 1, 2026

Good evening doomers, and welcome to your Evening Daily News Update for Wednesday, July the 1st, 2026. NBA Free Agency has officially opened, and there are a lot of moving pieces, and I’m sure we’ll discuss a lot of them in the comments section below. The Lakers went on a mid-level spending spree after being notified that His Royal Greatness, King LeBron James, will not be returning to the franchise for the 2026-27 season. We have World Cup Round of 32 and AEW Dynamite for our viewing pleasure.

If you missed last night’s episode, check out Niz’s review of WWE NXT. If you’re looking for something different, Jabroniville’s Dream Matches is a crowd pleaser, and Logan’s World Was Watching the March 25th, 1996 episode of Raw as we are knocking at the door of WrestleMania XII. Feel free to leave comments, whether it’s appreciation for their time and effort, maybe something that was missed, or a curious little factoid, we are always happy to see the BOD community come together.

Coming off Forbidden Door, we have two marquee matches tonight, including MJF defending the AEW Championship against Mark Briscoe, as well as the Survival of the Fittest Match for the TBS Title featuring Kris Statlander, Persephone, Queen Aminata, Maika, Hikaru Shida and Harley Cameron.
