Eli Drake has signed a contract extension with Impact Wrestling that will take him through Slammiversary and the following TV tapings. We'll see if he sticks around after those shows.

Impact will use Alicia Atout as their backstage interviewer in Canada, while McKenzie Mitchell will remain their interviewer in the United States. That's a good call for transportation costs.

Don Callis discussed NJPW and more on Jim Ross' latest podcast.

Impact promoted an Australian tour featuring some of its stars. It doesn't appear the tour is officially co-branded with Impact, and the names in question aren't under exclusive Impact contracts.

Impact and RISE are co-promoting a show on July 7, where the Knockouts Championship will be on the line. That's good to get their Knockouts some work and potentially scout future Knockouts.

Kenny Omega is featured on WWE Network's Hidden Gems collection for a 2006 match from former WWE developmental territory Deep South Wrestling. Also on the collection are Xavier Woods from FCW as well as father-son tag team matches with the Ortons, Hennigs, and Armstrongs. It's smart to capitalize on one of the hottest stars in the business, although naturally that will probably lead to WWE fans discovering NJPW.

Lana spoke with Women's Health and Miami Living. I wouldn't be shocked to see her win MITB given the press she gets.

WWE:UK's Jordan Devlin promoted the upcoming tournament events. It will be interesting to see how those go, and whether Dunne will finally lose his championship.

Wildkat Wrestling uploaded a Drew Gulak match to sell an upcoming iPPV. That's a clever move given Guilak's recent WWE:UK tournament match.

A WWE spoiler: James Ellsworth has been pulled from a scheduled Chinese booking in order to return at Money in the Bank. I fully expect him to return to Carmella's side. I'm all for it. 

NJPW Dominion was an official sellout at past 11,800 fans. The event will air as two two-hour specials on AXS, on June 29 and July 6. The product is really hot right now. 

Kenny Omega is the first Canadian to hold the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, in another sign of NJPW focusing its attention globally. His match with Kazuchika Okada was the longest NJPW match since 1987. 

Chris Jericho isn't expected to work NJPW's July 7 event, as doing a U.S. show for a company that isn't WWE could lead to heat with Vince McMahon. That's a surprising note with him winning their Intercontinental Championship. I would have thought that move was to drive ticket sales for that event.

Money in the Bank is a legitimate sellout. Presumably having both top brands on the card has been beneficial for them.

A new pro wrestling streaming service is launching. The Powerslam Channel has deals with more than 100 companies in 15 countries, and is starting out with charging $5.99 a month. They're launching with 2,000 hours of archived content and plan on airing 40-50 events each month. They currently have deals with CZW, Highspots.com, RF Video.com, WSU, Wrestlecade, Wrestlepro, ICW, PCW, RevPro, Over The Top Wrestling, Smash Wrestling, MCW of Australia, and many more. That can definitely a big service; they've put a lot of work into setting the groundwork.

CMLL trainer and wrestler Arkangel de la Muerte passed away at 51. He had worked out of Arena Mexico.

CMLL's Zeuxis is expected to work the Mae Young Classic, and could end up signed outright. We'll see how she does.

Killer Kross is expected to be a focal point in AAA. With him just debuting in Impact, he could be someone really on the map soon.

AAA is looking to run a show in Los Angeles at the 17,500-seat Forum. That would be massive.

Jushin "Thunder" Liger had an impromptu match with a baseball mascot in Japan after hitting him with a pitch. The other team's mascot was the referee. That's amazing.

Io Shirai will work her final STARDOM match this weekend before heading to the Mae Young Classic.

A lucha libre video game is in the works by Masked Republic. That could really be something.

El Santo will soon be the subject of a Mexican TV series.

David Arquette is expected to compete at Juggalo Championship wrestling next month, facing Human Tornado.

Chelsea Green is filming a movie.

Impact is looking to run a bigger variety of markets for TV in order to keep the product fresh. They're slowly building things back up.

Impact is interested in Mexico's Arkangel Divino. With the new TV deal there, that could be a good move.

Brock Lesnar is being figured into plans for UFC. He can appear on a show, but not compete, while under WWE contract.

Ronda Rousey's WWE contract is believed to be for multiple years, but it's possible there's an opt-out clause after the first year given Ric Flair's recent comment.

The Authors of Pain have been off TV due to visa issues that have now been cleared up. With Raw focusing on the team of Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler, they wanted to save the Authors for when they could they could get fully behind them.

Hideo Itami is set for Smackdown Live's Japanese tour, going against The Miz on June 29 and Big Cass on June 30. I'm curious what his future holds.

The Rock has signed on for a movie that will begin shooting in April 2019, effectively ruling out him working WrestleMania. That's not a big surprise given how many bookings he's getting.

Former NXT star Zeda is now working for MLW, which means she either doesn't have a no-compete clause or it doesn't extend to that group.

NXT has released Uriel Ealy. Gabriel Ealy has been out of action due to injury, so he remains under contract. You'd think they'd wait to cut them both at the same time. Either way, it will be interesting to see what's next for them.

Mark Andrews didn't work NXT's Download Festival shows due to an elbow injury. I hope he's able to return for the next steps of the UK brand.

Mauro Ranallo will miss Takeover:Chicago due to a boxing event. Vic Joseph will be replacing him. That's a big opportunity for both men.

Roman Reigns talked to ESPN. Him teaming with The Usos is an interesting idea.

WWE released footage of Flash Morgan Webster vs. Jake Drake from the UK tournament.

WWE profiled Ruby Riott's pre-WWE work. It's still kind of weird seeing them acknowledge pre-WWE names, since they rebrand so many talents.

John Cena wished the Arabic WWE Universe Eid Mubarak. That's a cool acknowledgement of the culture.

More wrestling tomorrow.
