Wrestling Observer Radio with Dave Meltzer and myself, guest co-host Garrett Gonzales, is back.
I open the show talking about the Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs fight on DAZN. Dave and I talk about Chris Jericho challenging Kazuchika Okada at Dominion. He also goes over both nights of Dontaku. We talk about the Friday night Twitter videos of Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho at the same independent show.
We then look at WWE’s reaction to low ratings including having Roman Reigns show up on Raw Monday. We go over Daniel Bryan’s situation. We look at the rest of the wrestling news before breaking down the UFC show in Ottawa and the news that Daniel Cormier will face Stipe Miocic in August.
Lastly, Dave talks about the story from 2011 when Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker were setting up an angle while Brock was still under contract in the UFC and then we take listener questions.
