Brock Lesnar's WWE contract expires before Summerslam and allows him to negotiate a UFC fight. It's also a significant raise from his previous deal, which isn't surprising, since he likely wants to return to UFC as soon as possible. UFC is already pitching a fight to him. We'll see what happens after the Greatest Royal Rumble. If he's not working Summerslam, WWE could very well have paid him a fortune to work one cage match.

- It's expected Brock will be back in WWE in some fashion after this deal, even if he does go to UFC for some time. WWE is willing to pay an extraordinary amount of money and make a lot of concessions to keep him in their company.

Brock Lesnar defeating Roman Reigns was kept secret for a lot of people for as long as possible, with the script and production meeting indicating Roman was going over.

- Brock and Vince McMahon had some sort of confrontation after the main event, with Brock throwing the Universal Championship at the chairman. It's unknown what the nature of this was, although some are speculating it was part of selling the narrative of Brock "going off-script" by causing Reigns to bleed in their match. Vince, Reigns, and Brock all agreed on that direction.

The Undertaker's match with John Cena was reportedly so short due to Taker's condition at his current age. The build was deliberately put together to downplay it being one of the main events of the show. I'd much rather they went with Cena vs. Styles vs. Nakamura and never used Taker if he can only do a few spots at this point. 

WWE has sent out a survey asking if Network subscribers want to see NJPW, ROH, and Impact footage on the service, which would mean WWE licensing footage from the companies. They'll only  pursue that expense if there's a lot of demand and the other companies are willing to go that route.

Wrestlemania, Takeover:New Orleans, and Supercard of Honor were legitimate sellouts.

Zack Sabre, Jr. has signed a new full-time NJPW deal. He continues to grow his profile.

ITV is looking to do tapings this summer for a limited UK series. That could be a really big project there.

WWE is expected to sign more UK names and begin a regular series there shortly after their announced June dates. That would be a big move for them.

The Andre the Giant documentary drew 931,000 viewers. That's a big success there.

The Jake Roberts/Davey Boy Smith, Jr. incident was due to remarks Roberts and Scott Hall had made knocking Davey's father.

WWE could be interested in Angelico now that he's left LU. We'll see what comes out of that, if anything.

Alicia Fox had an argument with Ronda Rousey's husband the night before Wrestlemania. However, this was not why she wasn't part of the women's battle royal. She has yet to be cleared to return to the ring.

Orlando is looking to host Wrestlemania again in either 2023 or 2025. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that.

Paul Heyman is in talks to do more Q&A shows. He's a treasure.

Bam Bam Bigelow was held off from the Hall of Fame this year in order to be part of the Hall next year when they return to an area where he was from and worked frequently.

WWE's upcoming Hardy Boyz DVD will include Impact footage due to a licensing deal between the two sides. I wouldn't read too much into that; it's just for the one project.

WWE was scouting at SHIMMER's April 7 event. I would expect a number of names from there to work the second Mae Young Classic.

Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose will be on the next season of "Total Divas." We'll see what that means for the future of Absolution.

Ronda Rousey will be part of WWE's upcoming European tour, appearing May 16 in Switzerland, May 17 in Austria, May 18 in Italy, and May 19 in France. Her role is currently unknown; they could easily just have her tap Dana Brooke out each night.

Raw will run a show in Argentina on December 6. I'm curious if they'll have some Latin talent on the show they normally wouldn't use (e.g. Andrade Almas).

Stephanie McMahon spoke on People TV. She continues to be built as one of the faces of the company as Vince ages and focuses on the XFL.

New Day promoted WWE Network. Pretty cute.

WWE's YouTube channel has hit 25 million viewers. That will almost certainly be mentioned in a conference call soon.

Alberto El Patron discussed his Impact departure and more:
- Umm, Alberto was the one going on social media and challenging New Day and the Usos to fight him at his restaurant, bashing Triple H, etc. There were real issues that led to his WWE relationship going south, and the airport situation with Paige led to a police investigation. This isn't a case of the media being out to get him.

- I strongly doubt Impact would have released him with two weeks left on his contract if he had a family emergency, unless it was just a matter of him not telling anyone in management what the heck was going on during a weekend when he was set to wrestle and sign autographs ahead of one of Impact's biggest shows of the year. Impact was willing to sign him to another contract for even more money than he was making as the highest-paid member of the roster. I find Alberto's story hard to believe.

- I wonder if he'll change his tune if WWE offers him a multi-year deal.

Jim Ross has been diagnosed with a fractured vertebra. OUCH. Those are some scary bruises.

Aleister Black is on the latest Edge and Christian podcast.

Nicholas has an entrance video now. That was a lot of fun, and I'm glad it didn't overstay its welcome. I wonder if we'll see him again as an adult.

Impact Wrestling drew 381,000 fans this week, bouncing back well after last week's episode went against USA Network's Wrestlemania special.

WWE:UK's June 18 show will feature Undisputed Era's Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, and Roderick Strong against British Strong Style of Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, and Trent Seven. That should be a barnburner.

Masked Republic and Asteri Networks have launched LuchaCentral.com to focus on (as you might expect) lucha news and content. That's a good idea to boost attention for that style of wrestling.

Wrestlemania 34's DVD release will not include this year's Hall of Fame ceremony due to its length. However, the matches from Kickoff will be on the show, as well as the complete episode of Raw following WM34. The Blu-ray release will also feature some content for the Smackdown after WM34.

At NXT's April 13 live event in Florida:
- The former Nixon Newell debuted as Steffanie Newell, teaming with Dakota Kai in a loss to Reina Gonzalez and Vanessa Borne.
- Jeet Rama worked his first live event since February 24, losing to Fabian Aichner.
- The War Raiders, formerly War Machine, are just going by Hanson and Rowe. They defeated Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan in their first live event match.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1-5. Long story short, ECW was a pretty chaotic place for a number of reasons, and that was especially true that night.
