Bobby Fish is on Edge and Christian's latest podcast.

Natalya is on Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins' latest podcast.

Paige is on Variety's latest podcast.

Raw is headed to Japan on June 28 and June 29. Asuka is advertised, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Shinsuke Nakamura and/or the Sky Pirates involved as well.

Impact has announced a Twitch special with TNT Pro in Kentucky. It will tape on April 12 and air on May 11. The event will be free for military personnel and their families. Impact has announced Johnny Impact, Brian Cage, Moose, Eli Drake, Rich Swann, Sami Callihan, Madison Rayne, and Kiera Hogan for the show.

Rob Van Dam discussed his new documentary. Looks like he's going to work with Impact more. I'm curious how that will work out given his previous runs.

ROH's owners are now part-owners of a New York regional sports network. Of course this theoretically opens the door for ROH to air there, but I don't know if that's a priority for Sinclair.

The Undertaker is set for a March 23 signing in Texas.

Fastlane's Kickoff show has added Rusev and Nakamura vs. New Day's Big E and Xavier Woods. Notably Kofi Kingston isn't advertised as being at ringside. It looks like WWE's protecting him for a WWE Title match at WrestleMania.

G1 Supercard has added an Honor Rumble match to its pre-show, featuring ROH and NJPW talent. I could see Jushin Liger being put in that so he can wrestle in Madison Square Garden without being in a featured match.

The Club, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, have turned down high-level WWE deals ahead of their current contracts expiring in September. They have told Management they intend to leave the promotion once their deals expire. One would think they'd have a number of options for where to land next.

- The pair are partially leaving due to how they've been used creatively. Obviously they were hotter prospects when they left NJPW.

Six WWE women were featured in Twitter's list of most mentioned women in sports. Becky Lynch is OVER.

Roman Reigns discussed his diagnosis with CBS Sports.

WWE's first action figures of Shayna Baszler, Velveteen Dream, and Cedric Alexander have been released.

At NXT's March 8 Florida live event:
- Brennan Williams teamed with Mansoor Al-Shehail in a loss to 205 Live's Humberto Carrillo and Raul Mendoza. So Brennan and Mansoor are another potential team.
- Trevor Lee made his NXT debut, losing to Luke Menzies.
- Candice LeRae teamed with Taynara Conti in a loss to Shayna Baszler and Marina Shafir. I'd think Candice would be on the short list to move on from NXT after WrestleMania, but we'll see if this team happens.

At Raw's March 8 Ontario live event:
- Lacey Evans worked a singles match with Natalya that ended in a DQ before teaming with Alexa Bliss in a loss to Dana Brooke and Natalya. So those two duos could be in the running for the tag team title.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's worth trying out a new name who does have a history in the business. She's probably been at more wrestling events than a lot of people they hire for Creative!

2. Notably I'd be making plans to call up UE, Dunne, possibly Ohno, Shayna, Candice and Kairi in the months to come. For replacements, they've got most of the rest of those names as well as new signings in the Performance Center. And, honestly, this year should be the year a number of Raw and Smackdown Live names get drafted to NXT in the Shakeup. I'd consider Apollo, the B-Team, Hawkins and/or Ryder, Slater, Rhyno, Aiden, the Colons, Harper, The Club, and Sin Cara eligible for a move to NXT and/or NXT UK. They're not doing anything else, and they could use something new.

3. There's nothing to indicate any change of her status in the company.

4. I don't know what he'll really be able to do to convince Dean to stay. Roman could have just been trying to lift a fan's spirits.

5. Vince continues to be the guy approving everything. I don't see that changing, although obviously others are going to have more of a say as XFL takes up more of Vince's schedule and Triple H and Stephanie gain power internally.

More wrestling tomorrow.
