Evening Daily News Update: July 31, 2026

Good evening doomers, and welcome to your Evening Daily News Update for Friday, July the 31st, 2026. Tonight is the last stop on the road to SummerSlam, as we get what I’m sure will be a very memorable episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown. Also, with AEW Collision moved to last night (I missed the memo), ROH fans can enjoy a special 14-match-card of Honor Club tonight as well.

Lots of BOD Content to sort through, but we have…

Niz’s weekly coverage of AEW Collision (Special Thursday Edition)
Scott H’s weekly coverage of TNA Impact (Spoilers: No LeBron)
Kat’s weekly coverage of WWE Main Event
No one bothered with JCW Lunacy, but I hear Vince Russo dislikes Triple H’s booking of WWE.

Kat also brings us another NXT 2.0 Rewind (October 19th, 2021), Alex’s 5-Star Book Reviews has the 13th and Final Chapter on Jushin Liger, Mike recaps the WWF home video “Cause Stone Cold Said So”, and Logan’s World Was Watching the May 4th, 1996 episode of Superstars. Oh, and check out my recap of The Story of John Cena vs. Nexus from SummerSlam 2010.
