SDL name change, Booker speaking tour, Interviews with Mojo/Ronda+Charlotte+Becky/Roman/Dana Brooke, international territory name autobiography, Ronda theme singer playing at WM35, new WWE Studios head, final 2019 HoFer, Raw audience, UFC name signs with AAA, SDL dark match, SDL visitor, and Questions on Sexy Star's heat, HoF inductors, who's responsible for moving on from Divas, grossness in wrestling, and Vince siding with Bryan

Smackdown Live's Mustafa Ali is now just Ali. Mustafa I could understand, but just Ali? Hopefully he's able to be successful with just one name.

Booker T. will do a speaking tour in the UK and Ireland this July. That's becoming something of a regular idea there.

Mojo Rawley did a pair of interviews with TMZ Sports about Rob Gronkowski leaving the NFL. Mojo's got to be ecstatic given where his career is now without Gronk in WWE.

Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch promoted WrestleMania on SportsCenter. I would have loved if ESPN has "security" separating them.

International territory star Buggsy McGraw's autobiography was just released.

Joan Jett will play Ronda Rousey's entrance music at WrestleMania 35. That's definitely major!

- Jett commented on the upcoming performance.

WWE Studios has named a new head in Susan Levison. Levison has previously worked with a number of television series.

The WWE Hall of Fame will induct Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake this year, the final inductee of the Class of 2019.

Raw drew 2.59 million viewers Monday.

Dana Brooke is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast. She said she considered quitting the company last month after a Raw match with Natalya was dropped. I'm curious what other options she has outside of WWE, since I don't anticipate her gaining momentum in the near future.

UFC's Cain Velasquez has signed with AAA, and will compete at TripleMania XXVII on August 3. That should be an interesting endeavor.

Roman Reigns discussed his recovery and more.

Before Smackdown Live, Aleister Black and Ricochet defeated Killian Dain and Alexander Wolfe of SAnitY.

Justin Credible was backstage at Smackdown Live.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Sexy Star attacked someone who had done nothing against her, turning a worked submission into a shoot one to damage Rosemary. If it was a "receipt" or something, that would be one thing, but this was just malicious.

2. It's possible they don't have inductors this year in order to speed things up. They might also not have an MC for the same reason. It's definitely noteworthy none have been announced.

3. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have absolutely spearheaded a movement from the name "Diva," including Triple H hiring and pushing the Four Horsewomen and others who have come up through NXT.

4. I don't go for that kind of thing at all. I feel similarly about moves like the Stinkface and that Priscilla Kelly spot. Just outright gross.

5. There's definitely some "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" about Vince siding with the "original B+ player." It could be to make Vince a hypocrite, and it could be that he sees Kofi as he used to see Bryan and considers the "new" Bryan as the lesser of two evils. Also, this direction gave Kofi a bigger mountain to climb than just gifting him a championship match.

More wrestling tomorrow.
