Main Event Reax - 4/14/18, Rey booked for AAA show, Interview with Tenille, who's on Ride Along this week, Flashback Friday done?, Prichard podcast update, new Redemption match, Nigel update, Ellering on leaving Authors, and Questions on Raw's first female main event, a weekly MYC show, making Mania earlier, and Paige as GM

-- Main Event:
- Andrews vs. Nese:
I like Nese's power.

This is some good back-and-forth.

That's a BIG moonsault for Main Event.

Some basic work now, but fine to fill time.

Now things are heating up.

That was a pretty impressive ending! Good work.

- L. H. Party vs. Gallagher/TJP/Ariya:
Nice start.

I liked the crazy number of falls. They're making this count.

This is going really well!

I like Gallagher's toughness here.

There's good action here.

Metalik's agility is always amazing.

Everyone here is delivering. 

Impressive! 

Rey Mysterio will work AAA's June 3 event. He's getting some nice international bookings as a free agent.

Tenille Dashwood discussed her ROH status and more. Hopefully she's a cornerstone of WOH going forward.

"WWE Ride Along" after Raw Monday will have the teams of New Day and Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin. I can only imagine what a car ride with New Day would be like.

WWE Network's Flashback Friday theme this week was set to be "April's Other Big Events," but it looks like they're not doing themed content this week. We'll see if the concept returns next week.

Bruce Prichard's podcast will begin taping Monday. It's scheduled for 13 weeks (which is one quarter of a year). I'm curious how it will go and if WWE will invest in more projects like this.

Redemption will now feature Brian Cage vs. Taiji Ishimori vs. El Hijo del Fantasma vs. DJZ vs. Trevor Lee vs. Dezmond Xavier. Given how Cage has been booked so far, they'll have to be careful in how they book him here. Cage winning to face the winner of Sydal vs. Petey would be a big next feud.

Nigel McGuinness missed 205 Live due to his wife giving birth. That's a happy reason to get two weeks off the show.

Paul Ellering seemingly commented on being split from the Authors of Pain. Many speculated the 64-year-old didn't want to be on the road full-time.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Basically they'd rather promote the better match between two regular wrestlers than the match involving a McMahon.

2. That would be pretty expensive. They should only do something like that if they know it will lead to an increase in subscriptions. If people want to see that, they need to watch the hell out of the second MYC.

Nothing to add to 3.

4. At this point WWE has done so many events in the evening that it would be a big change to move the show earlier. It could be worth a try, though.

5. That's a good use of someone they have under contract as a talent but is no longer active as a wrestler, like the GM she's replacing.

More wrestling tomorrow.
