WWE Network vault updates, podcast notes, assorted WWE notes, female WWE stars get payday for GRR, WWE wants out of Titus lawsuit, former WWE stars back in action, trailer for Mauro documentary and Savage DVD, Rock+Cena movie project, more of Titus' slip, Impact Twitch lineup, what happened after Raw, and Questions on Brock passing Punk, Arda in WWE, removing Booker for commentary, and switching No Mercy's top matches for WM34's

WWE Network is set to add the rest of Mid-Atlantic TV in May, then more Mid-South in June and WCW Saturday Night in July. There are also plans for more Coliseum Home Video releases to be added at some point this year.

Becky Lynch is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

Eric Bischoff discussed creating the nWo on his first podcast with Conrad Thompson.

Naomi granted a wish in Connecticut.

WWE paid female talents as if they had worked the Greatest Royal Rumble. I can support that move in the sense they would have been booked if WWE were allowed to.

WWE is looking to be dismissed from the Titus O'Neil "Swerved" lawsuit because they aren't headquartered in Florida, where the lawsuit is being filed. That seems a little farfetched given how much business they do there, but we'll see how things go.

The former Summer Rae has been booked for her first post-WWE match, facing Ivelisse in Australia on May 25. We'll see if she ends up working more or if that was just a big opportunity.

The former Muhammad Hassan has returned to the ring on a New York independent show. That gimmick could potentially be even more controversial in 2018.

Mauro Ranallo's Showtime documentary released a first look. That should be powerful.

Dana Warrior is launching a podcast. We'll see how getting fans to call in about Warrior goes...

Randy Savage's unreleased matches DVD got a preview.

The Rock and John Cena will be working together on a film project. I have a feeling we'll see them on-screen together at some point.

Titus O'Neil's GRR slip had alternate camera angles released. How long before someone else tries to get over doing something similar?

Set for Impact's Twitch event Saturday with Pro Wrestling Revolver in Iowa:
- Pentagon, Jr. vs. Jimmy Jacobs
- Tommy Dreamer vs. Jake Manning
- oVe vs. Matt Sydal, Dezmond Xavier, and Zachery Wents
- Eli Drake vs. Clayton Gainz
- Taya Valkyrie vs. Jessicka Havok
- The Dirty vs. Zero Gravity vs. Night Ryderz
- Jason Cade vs. Shane Strickland

The GRR cage match referee "apologized" for his call of the ending. Could this lead to ANOTHER match between Brock and Roman?? Hopefully someone else gets to take the title after Roman failing twice.

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor got a standing ovation after Raw. It's crazy those two are fighting for the IC Title while the Universal Title is barely defended.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1 is a repeat.

2. I don't think that was the plan at the beginning, and it's technically a different championship, but that could definitely play into the decision. It would be an absurdly expensive way to stick it to someone who's not even wrestling anymore, but WWE has the money to do stuff like that.

3. That's a shame. I really like Ocal.

4. Booker is hilarious, but it wouldn't surprise me if WWE preferred someone who didn't draw as much attention to his commentary.

5. I wouldn't have complained! Although I would have had Brock get his rematch at GRR rather than moving on to another feud.

More wrestling tomorrow.
