-- As reported before, it is assumed that Carlito has signed a contract with WWE due to the fact that he has pulled out of an independent date that he was scheduled for. PWInsiderelite.com reports that company sources believe that he will be returning to WWE on the 7/7 episode of Friday Night Smackdown at New York's Madison Square Garden. If true, what that also confirms is that WWE is slotting him on the blue brand.
-- Logan Paul's involvement in the upcoming WWE Money in the Bank men's match has not changed the company's course of action on who the winner will be. PWInsiderelite.com reports that the plan from the get go was for Paul to be included in the Money in the Bank ladder match and there were no significant creative changes that have recently happened. The report also notes that while not 100% locked in, there is an internal push for the winner to be LA Knight, which would then push him to the next level.
-- Over on the women's side, the consistent backstage rumor appears to be that IYO SKY remains the odds-on-favorite to win the briefcase.
-- With Drew McIntyre and WWE seemingly still at an impasse, sources believe that McIntyre will be "back in the mix" by the time WWE embarks on their UK tour, culminating with the Money in the Bank premium live event in London.
