Main Event Reax - 3/23/19, former Neville to miss WrestleCon, new Photo Shoot after Raw, Interview with Henry, new ROH matches, NXT live event notes, and Questions on unofficial title changes, Taker vs. Abyss, Apter pseudonyms, and dropping Sunny from the HoF

-- Main Event:
- Rezar vs. Hawkins:
Hawkins is 0-265 going into this match, but I have a feeling he'll be able to turn things around. After all, he's got Zack Ryder in his corner!

I like Rezar's viciousness.

Good contrast between these two.

Fun enough. 0-266 (before losses on Friday and Saturday live events).

- Revival/Ascension vs. Titus/LHP:
Interesting combinations.

Haha wow they went right to commercial.

Yeah we didn't get enough to really sink our teeth into there.

PAC will not make WrestleCon due to visa issues. He will however be able to work with AEW. Unfortunate situation.

"WWE Photo Shoot" with Rusev will air after Raw.

Mark Henry discussed his new WWE role and more.

ROH's March 31 Maryland HonorClub event has added:
- Jay Lethal/Jeff Cobb vs. Juice Robinson/Bandido vs. Vinny Marseglia/TK O'Ryan
- Shinobi Shadow Squad vs. Coast 2 Coast/Colin Delaney

At NXT's March 23 Florida live event:
- Shadia Bseiso was in Mansoor Al-Shehail's corner as Al-Shehail defeated Brendan Vink (the former Elliot Sexton)
- Xia Li worked her first live event since February 14, losing to Reina Gonzalez

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. So, the NWA, as the name suggests, was at the time an alliance of different regional owners who agreed on who would be their world champion a while in advance. Sometimes situations popped up where a title change was decided on by a local promoter without the group's permission and the NWA didn't/doesn't count those as official title changes, since they were unsanctioned. Usually those title runs were brief since they were just done for a local territory that either went rogue or felt they were going to have a dangerous situation on hand if the local hero didn't take the title. So, if you count those unofficial title changes, Ric Flair has held well more than 20 world titles.

2. Notably this is when WWF was part of the NWA and WWE doesn't recognize the title change.

3. Definitely not this year! I wouldn't say it will never happen, but with Undertaker's career winding down and Abyss not hired to step into the ring, I don't see it coming to be. I'd think the odds would be slightly better for it to happen in Saudi Arabia, but I still don't anticipate it.

4. I wish WWE.com would have columnists suck up to heels, etc.

5. There's been no movement for that to happen. I expect they view the situation as honoring Sunny but distancing themselves from Tammy Sytch's actions.

More wrestling tomorrow.
