Select Portions: Cincy gets a show, KOTR, More. (Patreon)

- Fightful Select has learned that AEW plans to return to the Cincinnati area for AEW Dynamite in September. AEW ran Cincinnati in September 2021 with Jon Moxley vs. Minoru Suzuki, and in October 2022 for the ill-fated Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page World Title Match

- When we asked if WWE King of the Ring could be rescheduled this year, those in the know said they hadn't heard of that, but that King and Queen of the Ring was mentioned as something in their back pocket for future Saudi shows.

- For those asking about Trench and Parker, we’re told both had been sidelined with injuries prior to being replaced by The Embassy.

- Our long-worked on feature on Nick Comoroto will release for Select subscribers Saturday, and the audio will be up Monday. 

- Fightful asked WWE if Elias has signed a new deal, as many reports had his expiring in late 2022, but we haven't heard back.

- A reminder, the Friday post shows will now start at 10:10 ET weekly, covering Smackdown. Sean Ross Sapp will join Friday and Saturday post-shows here and there as an insider, and we're working on a Collision/Smackdown review from him on Select.

- We're scheduled to interview Brian Zane of Wrestling With Wregret this week. Let us know if you have any questions.

- Fightful will be present at the upcoming WWE Smackdown in Lexington, AEW Collision in Toronto, and AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door shows.
