Supercard IWGP title match official, assorted wrestling press, another Dusty trademark, Angle set for SDL match, another Bella retirement, and Questions on "saving" the WM35 build, Trish+Lita vs. Sasha+Bayley, Orton-Kofi heat, WWN on WWE Network, and what will headline WM35

G1 Supercard's IWGP Heavyweight Championship match will be between Jay White and Kazuchika Okada, as Okada won the New Japan Cup. That's big.

Taryn Terrell appeared in Netflix's Motley Crue biopic.

Bill DeMott discussed his daughter's death from a drunk driver. That's an incredibly difficult ordeal he's gone through.

Original Midnight Express member Randy Rose was interviewed in South Carolina. Hopefully he joins the WWE Hall of Fame at some point.

"Lethal Lottery" has been trademarked by someone in Rhode Island. This was part of the Battlebowl concept that Cody recently trademarked.

Paige was at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards.

Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles is set for Smackdown Live, in what is advertised as Angle's final match on that show. Those two were opponents and partners in Impact. I'd love to see Angle vs. Joe, as well, but I don't know if there's a chance for that. I'm just glad we get to see Angle vs. AJ in WWE.

Nikki Bella announced her retirement from in-ring competition on the latest episode of "Total Bellas," following Brie's announcement of doing the same the previous week. She came to the conclusion as a reflection of her age and greater focus on outside endeavors. Nikki last wrestled in November as part of a European tour.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That's going to be a different answer for everyone. Honestly I wouldn't think the last two weeks to sway many people one way or another. The show itself being great will definitely help things, but WWE's going to have to consistently deliver what the audience wants with few exceptions to keep them hooked. An off week or bad angle here and there is to be expected, but there've really been some missteps in places.

2. It was definitely something teased on social media, but obviously it didn't come to be. It sounds like another plan was for the Hall of Famers to face the Bella Twins that night, but that also isn't happening. Trish and Lita were definitely planned to be in the mix at WrestleMania for a while after Evolution, but clearly there have been other priorities since then.

3. It was just a nod to that past issue. I popped for it.

4. Yes. Either as part of a tier or someday down the line with WWE purchasing the library (if not the company itself). The latter could be years from now, but certainly it's a possibility.

5. WWE made an official answer after this question was answered. I definitely expected the women to close the show. Their angle is much hotter than the fourth Brock Lesnar Universal Championship match in five WrestleManias.

More wrestling tomorrow.
