Assorted WWE press, Steen back on PWT, Network subscribers get WM34 bonus, Greatest Rumble match change, Superstar Shakeup note, another former WWE Champion at Greatest Rumble, Rock doing BET series, WWE awards, WWE Q1 results release date, Impact ONO show set, and Questions on heat on Stone Cold, Brock vs. Rock backstage, Aksana's whereabouts, Mania weekend, and Ronda's in-ring frequency going forward

Jeff Jarrett discussed seeing Vince McMahon before his Hall of Fame induction.

Mark Henry and Bully Ray discussed going into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Kevin Steen has returned to Pro Wrestling Tees for a limited time, playing off his WWE "firing." That's a clever idea, and makes sure Steen and Generico can sell merchandise while Owens and Zayn have been fired.

WWE Network subscribers received a digital Wrestlemania 34 program. That's pretty cool.

Former WWE official Tim White recently spoke to Taz and the Moose about Andre the Giant.

Rusev and Lana discussed the Greatest Royal Rumble. It could indeed be Taker's last match, but how many times have we said that over the years?

- The Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho was announced after this interview, with Jericho replacing Rusev.  The match is still a casket match. I'm not 100% sure what to make of that change, other than this match being a bigger profile.

Smackdown will not have a live event Monday night, as those talents will be at the Superstar Shakeup on Raw. It will likely take some time for live event rosters to catch up with what happens at the Shakeup.

Rey Mysterio has been booked for the Greatest Royal Rumble in a capacity to be announced. For now, this is just a one-time appearance, rather than a sign of Rey signing a contract. It can certainly lead to further appearances, however.

The Rock is producing a six-episode docu-series for BET. That's a big project for him.

WWE won a number of sports social media awards.

WWE's Q1 2018 results will be announced on May 3.

WWE has trademarked "Global Localization" for use as a show name. It will be interesting to see what comes of that.

Impact Wrestling will tape a One Night Only show on June 3 in Ontario, with Pentagon Jr. already announced. Good to see them making use of other promotions and outside talents to boost their brand.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't think there's anything to that, especially since he was on Raw 25.

2. Brock clocks in, does what he has to do, and clocks out. Rock has his own dressing room, but enjoys being there.

3. It looks like she doesn't even do appearances any more. She's left the "Aksana" days behind.

4. There was definitely something for everyone that weekend.

5. I'd think it will be a case of them not wanting to overexpose her by having her work just to have her in action every so often. Rather, they'll use her when there's a plan in place to use her in a meaningful way. In the meantime, she'll keep training.

More wrestling tomorrow.
