Subscribers can now read this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
This week’s issue leads off with the latest developments in the UFC class action lawsuit that saw the presiding judge deny a settlement both sides had agreed to, putting an October court date on the docket with a lot of questions as to where everything goes next.
I also look ahead to this weekend’s WWE SummerSlam which will see the return of CM Punk to in-ring action plus some other potentially pivotal storyline developments.
