Notes:
The scheduled matches that were cancelled or postponed include: the Countdown Showdown, 12 Large Summit trios match (Eddie Kingston, Mike Quackenbush, and Fire Ant vs. Icarus, Vin Gerard, and Claudio Castagnoli), and the 12 Large Summit match involving Ultramantis Black and Jigsaw.

Eddie Kingston, Fire Ant, and Green Ant will be heading to Osaka Pro soon. Maybe Green Ant will return with the Young Lions Cup? Or will Tadasuke join Kotoge and Harada when they return in October?

Updated 12 Large Summit Standings:
Block A:
Hallowicked: 4 pts with 2 matches left.
Sara Del Rey: 4 pts with 2 matches left.
Mike Quackenbush: 4 pts with 2 matches left.
Icarus: 4 pts with 2 matches left.
Claudio Castagnoli: 2 pts with 1 match left.
Ophidian: 0 pts with 3 matches left.

Claudio Castagnoli is effectively eliminated from the 12 Large Summit, since every match would have to end in a draw for him to enter into at least a tie at the top of Block A. If anyone but Ophidian wins a match, Claudio is out of contention officially.

Block B:
Eddie Kingston: 6 pts with 2 matches left.
Fire Ant: 4 pts with 2 matches left.
Vin Gerard: 2 pts with 3 matches left.
Ultramantis Black: 2 pts with 3 matches left.
Jigsaw: 0 pts with 3 matches left.
Brodie Lee: 0 pts with 3 matches left.

A win by Eddie Kingston will guarantee him finishing with at least a tie at Block B.

Chikara returns to action in Brockton, MA, and New York City, making their Manhattan debut, in September.
