All In, the show put on by Cody and The Young Bucks on September 1, will take place in Chicago in a soon-to-be announced 10,000 seat venue. That will certainly be one of the most important shows of the year.

Tenille Dashwood, the former Emma, will team with Deonna Purrazzo vs. Sumie Sakai and Jenny Rose at Manhattan Mayhem. Good to see WOH being represented there, even if there's not a tournament match that night.


Flip Gordon vs. Hiromu Takahashi has been added to ROH's 16th anniversary event. That should be pretty solid. Flip is really growing.

Karen Jarrett celebrated Jeff's Hall of Fame induction on Instagram. It's absolutely a huge moment for the whole family.

Jeff Jarrett got local press for his Hall of Fame induction. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him back in the ring on the indie scene. I'm less sure of him competing in WWE.

Booker T. vs. Corey Graves was played out by Ringside Collectibles. I'm dying.

WWE now has official memorabilia on eBay. Not a bad idea at all.

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman not being at Raw was more than likely a WWE decision, as both were in town for Elimination Chamber. 

- Brock will compete at this weekend's Illinois live event as scheduled, so it looks like he'll make the rest of his contracted appearances through WM34. That's not a huge surprise, even if he is heading to UFC after the show.

John Cena vs. The Undertaker is very much still on the table for Wrestlemania.

Ronda Rousey's husband has been training at the WWE Performance Center, so he could also be in action at some point for the company. That would add an interesting wrinkle to things.

Ronda Rousey's appearances at Elimination Chamber and Raw are believed to have been responsible for big increases in ticket sales at the last minute.

Both Honor Rising shows were legitimate sellouts with more than 1,700 fans. ROH COO Joe Koff was in attendance. The ROH/NJPW pairing has really done well for both sides.

AAA has opened a small 600-seat arena, which will hold their Hall of Fame in addition to regular shows. That's pretty cool.

The Crash has really cut back on shows in Mexico, now focusing on one market.

NJPW's Australian tour later this year will air live on New Japan World.

Some LU taping notes:
- Hernandez, Chavo Guerrero, Jr., Tommy Dreamer, and Jessie Godderz were all part of Aztec Warfare.
- Sammy Guevara, Jason Cade, Sonny Kiss, the former Jack Swagger, Chelsea Green (Laurel Van Ness), and Sami Callihan have also worked tapings. Guevara is under contract to Arolucha, but they're letting him do LU. Green is believed to be working as a free agent.
- Referee Rick Knox suffered a broken collarbone and will likely miss the rest of the season.
- Sexy Star did not return, as she's focusing full-time on boxing. She's one of a kind.

Keith Lee and WALTER have been offered WWE developmental contracts. Both men have pretty solid resumes and reputations so far.

HBO's Andre the Giant documentary is expected to hear to WWE Network down the line. That's great news!

WWE signed a 10-year deal to do regular events in Saudi Arabia. That's REALLY big. They continue to expand in the Middle East.

The attorney behind CTE-related lawsuits against WWE has been officially sanctioned due to failure to comply with an order to provide specifics about allegations. He will have to pay WWE's legal fees in the matter. However, the lawsuit is ongoing. 

Neville is back in discussions to return to WWE. He remains under contract, as the company has refused to release him. He could pop right in as the first challenger to the new cruiserweight champion.

Fozzy is touring Europe in July and August, so Chris Jericho likely won't return to WWE until after Summerslam. Of course, further dates with NJPW are also possible.

Bianca Belair missed some NXT live events due to an injury suffered during a match with Ember Moon. Hopefully she doesn't miss long.

Enzo Amore has been edited off an upcoming WWE episode of "Undercover Boss" for obvious reasons.

WWE has banned beach balls and balloons for Wrestlemania week. It's sad they have to do that for grown adults, but that's where things have gotten with a certain set of fans.

Smackdown will run June 29 and June 30 in Japan. Of course, Nakamura will be a big part of that.

Former Impact worker Cody Deaner is selling special art prints for charity. That's a great endeavor from him.

Fox Sports personality Colin Cowherd discussed attending Smackdown, teasing WWE could be coming to Fox family networks soon. That remains to be determined, but is certainly on the table.

Impact Wrestling vs. Lucha Underground is set for Wrestlecon, airing live on Twitch. That will be a big night for both sides, and could set the stage for further crossover.

The Undertaker and Kane appeared together to promote Kane's mayoral run. I really hope he's doing ads in-character. That would be AMAZING.

NXT will do tapings on May 9 and May 10 at Full Sail, continuing their post-WM34 direction.

New Day will do signings for their new book on March 11 and March 12 in Ohio. I'm sure more signings will follow. That should be fun.

ROH and NJPW have announced a UK tour for late May. They'll run Scotland on May 24 and England on May 26 and May 27. That will be a big month for the two companies working together.

Former Nexus members Darren Young (as Fred Rosser), Justin Gabriel (as PJ Black), and Michael Tarver will reunite in CHIKARA's King of Trios event this summer. CHIKARA often puts together some pretty fun combinations for the tournament.

Charlotte Flair was on Maria Menounos' latest podcast, highlighted here:
- Charlotte vs. Asuka would definitely be a pretty notable match, and we could very well end up seeing it at WM34.

- Interesting remarks about Ronda, but I like her advice and willingness to work with the new WWE signing.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I wouldn't assume the brand extension will be permanent, but I also don't think them cutting back on PPVs is a sign of them giving up on the idea. It was largely a move to cut back on unnecessary expenses, as a greater number of PPVs didn't lead to an increase in Network subscriptions.

2. They'll almost certainly save her first match for Wrestlemania. I'd be shocked if they didn't. They need to get Network subscriptions up, after all.

3. That would be very expensive, and I wouldn't assume it would lead to more interest in either show. 205 Live is in front of a larger audience following Smackdown than it would be following NXT, which theoretically gives it more of an opportunity to takeoff. WWE could theoretically have 205 Live do its own tapings at Full Sail, but I'd think that would be a big step back for the brand they want to be able to have its own live events. For now, I think they're going to keep the show after Smackdown.

4. I don't think she's back wrestling full-time. So far, she's just had the one match. I think she's pretty adamant that she's Celeste going forward, unless of course WWE brings her back as Kaitlyn at some point.

5. I think WWE could do it as a Network special or something at some point, but I think we're a ways away from seeing one of the "regular" shows do a women's-only edition. There are too many men's wrestlers deserving of spots to kick them all off one month. As great as WWE's female talents are, I don't know if they could deliver that many compelling matches to sell an event of that magnitude. But a Network special in a smaller venue featuring MYC talents and others in addition to the WWE regulars? It's worth a try.

Nothing to add to 6. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
