Wrong Episode of Impact Wrestling Airs Again
The Spike TV network in the UK aired the wrong episode of Impact Wrestling last week. This isn’t the first time that the wrong episode has been aired. It was noted a while back that The Fight Network aired the wrong week as well due to the copy of the episode getting corrupted just before the initial broadcast. They ended up airing the previous week’s show.
Spike TV issued the following statement on Twitter regarding the wrong episode being aired:
John Cena Teases WWE Return
John Cena, who is off doing non-WWE projects, indicated on Twitter that he will be returning to the company soon:

Tajiri Officially Announces Departure from WWE
Yoshihiro Tajiri took to his Twitter account to announce that he is officially done with WWE. He wrote, “It ended a contract with WWE. Free to move from tomorrow.”
Tajiri was brought back to the company for last year’s Cruiserweight Classic. There were plans for him to feud with Brian Kendrick on 205 Live but he was sidelined with an injury and hasn’t been used since. Here is footage from his last appearance:
Hulk Hogan Reportedly In Negotiations with Vince McMahon for WWE Return
Hulk Hogan recently told fans at an autograph signing that he is in negotiations with Vince McMahon to return to WWE.
“Hulk Hogan did an autograph signing over the weekend in Los Angeles and when asked about the obvious question, just said he and Vince are talking,” Dave Meltzer said in the May 8, 2017, issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
“Then again, it is Hogan. The answer to the question of his returning is always about when the feeling it is a time when the company feels there will be no potential sponsor backlash.”
As noted earlier today, The Hulkster was featured on a double-sided poster in the WWE Kids magazine that was being handed out during WWE’s recent tour overseas. This is another indication of his return to the company.
