Dave Meltzer has responded to rumors that Shane McMahon is pulling a Brock Lesnar, and using AEW for leverage with WWE for a return.
From a Tony Khan standpoint, he better have something locked up enough, he should know about Hogan (teasing starting his own company) & Lesnar (UFC) both make this play publicly to get a strong deal to return to WWE. So the question is if he's put safeguards in place. https://t.co/nj5LQTLl6T

It's bad for perception, and right now that's super important. Makes it look like WWE and Shane played him. Keep in mind this hasn't happened yet, just a potential scenario. https://t.co/0zFWZVgbsE

Podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan recently predicted a potential Kamala Harris victory in November and he argued that voters just don’t want Donald Trump in office again via Mediaite.
“She’s gonna win,” Rogan told Michael Malice on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast this week during a discussion about the presidential election and various conspiracy theories swirling around it.
Malice has pushed back on the Harris prediction, acknowledging the presumptive Democratic Party nominee can win, but won’t. Rogan pushed back and said Hillary Clinton could defeat Trump right now. Clinton lost to Trump in 2016, but she won the overall popular vote.
“I feel like we are in this very bizarre time where people are giving into the bullshit in a way that I never suspected people would before,” Rogan argued. “They just want no Trump, no matter what, and they’re willing to gaslight themselves — and by the way, I think Hillary could win.”
The podcaster also added that he thought the July 13 attempted assassination of Trump would have movedhis campaign forward more. However, he said that he felt the moment has been “memory holed” in a matter of weeks.
“You would have thought Trump getting shot would have had four years of corporate journalists talking about hate speech causing violence, to be like, let’s take a step back, and that went for, what, a week?” Malice added to that point.
“Everybody forever was like, Kamala Harris is the worst vice president,” Rogan continued about Harris. “She’s the least popular vice president of all time, and then in a moment, a moment in time, all of a sudden she’s our solution. She’s our hero. Everybody’s with her. All these social media posts about her. Try Googling a negative story on her, you won’t find one.”
Rogan argued in favor of a nominee like Tulsi Gabbard (a past podcast guest) over Harris, but acknowledged she could never be nominated in the “controlled” two party system and accused the media and Democrats of “gaslighting” when it comes to Harris.
“You really think she’s going to win?” Malice eventually asked about Rogan’s Harris prediction.
“I’m saying it because she could. I’m not saying it because I think she’s going to and I’m not saying it because I want her to. I’m just being honest. I could see her winning,” Rogan said.
