WrestleMania 35 is expected to have another women's battle royal. I expect NXT and NXT UK cameos there given how many other women are in other matches.

ROH's 17th anniversary PPV was legitimately a sellout with 900 fans. I can see why The Elite went out on their own to work in front of bigger audiences.

Double or Nothing's Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros match is for the AAA World Tag Team Championship. That's a big U.S. stage for AAA.

Impact will no longer have El Hijo del Fantasma at WrestleMania weekend, seemingly due to AAA pulling him as fallout for suing over his Lucha Underground contract.

AAA is negotiating a Madison Square Garden show for this fall. That could definitely be major for them; I'm curious how much of a success it would be.

NJPW is planning a major Australian show for summer, following the success of Super Show-Down. That's a natural market to expand to.

AEW's Michael Nakazawa has finished his DDT tenure. AEW already feels pretty global.

Mayu Iwatani will defend the WOH Championship in Stardom on March 28 against Natsuko Tora.

Team Vision Dojo student Ian Anselmo was arrested for attempted murder and battery on his pregnant stepmother. That is absolutely sickening.

MLW will no longer use Puma King after he double-booked himself for a WrestleMania week date. King looked to make sure he could work both events.

MLW's Samu is looking to do another match as he continues to battle cancer. He had previously thought he had wrestled his last match.

MLW is looking to add another singles championship as well as a six-man tag team championship. That's ambitious!

MLW's weekly show is expected to start airing internationally soon.

MLW is looking to do a PPV in 2020, as well as a show in Hawaii. I'm impressed with their ability to make milestones happen.

ROH was upset at Israel's David Starr criticizing Sinclair Broadcasting in a promo for his upcoming ROH Championship match in Israel. Starr removed the promo in question as a result. It definitely moved from being a wrestling promo to a political one, which could distract from the championship and match.

ROH's March 16 TV taping drew around 500 fans. Running the same venue two nights in a row can be difficult.

AEW is working on having the Lucha Bros be exclusive to their promotion when running the U.S. This of course would pull them from Impact and MLW, and would be a pretty major shift for them. The pair would continue to work AAA.

Cody's recent trademarks are not AEW related. Instead he's trying to own content his father is associated with.

AEW has signed UK talent Sadie Gibbs, who has worked Stardom and has a background in gymnastics and other athletic ventures.

UFC's Cain Velasquez is in talks to wrestle in 2019. UFC would have to approve this, as he is still under contract.

The Undertaker is set to work the Saudi Arabia PPV on May 3. He is still not part of WrestleMania.

Brie Bella has officially announced her retirement. That was more or less expected. She probably would have retired sooner if it wasn't for the Ronda Rousey angle.

Garza Jr. is expected to start in NXT right after WrestleMania. He has announced his March 23 appearance for Crash will be his final match there. He was initially set to join NXT at the same time as Humberto Carrillo.

WWE and wrestling content have been nominated for quite a few Cynopsis sports media awards:

The Street Profits are no longer EVOLVE Tag Team Champions due to being booked as singles stars there going forward. Interesting direction with them teaming in NXT, but it also gets them some varied experience.

NXT could split Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke is Shayna Baszler joins Raw or Smackdown Live after WrestleMania. Shafir could join the Undisputed Era given her marriage to Roderick Strong.

WWE Network's latest Hidden Gem is the "March to WrestleMania X" special from 1994 featuring:
- Lex Luger vs. Jimmy Del Ray
- Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Ben Jordan
- Razor Ramon vs. Tony DeVito for the Intercontinental Championship
- Earthquake vs. The Executioner
- Bret Hart vs. Crush
- The Quebecers vs. Mike Bell/PJ Walker for the Tag Team Championship
- Yokozuna vs. Tatanka

New Day also appeared on "Drop the Mic," battling with SWV.

FOX featured The Usos in a commercial for their fall lineup, which will of course feature Smackdown Live.

Alexa Bliss promoted a Raw live event.

WWE has new Chalk Line jackets for Ronda Rousey, Alexa Bliss, Ric Flair, and Dude Love.

Baron Corbin and Capital Tacos raised $1,000 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Impact and UCW's April 13 event has announced:
- Johnny Impact vs. Chris Michaels for the Impact World Championship
- Brian Cage vs. Madman Fulton
- Rich Swann vs. Scott Sexton for the Impact X-Division Championship
- oVe vs. Chase Stevens/The Maddox Brothers

Jim Cornette will have meet-and-greet sessions before MLW's WrestleMania weekend events.

MLW's Salina de la Renta is working behind-the-scenes with Mexican talent. She recently had meetings in Mexico on behalf of the promotion.

MLW has hired former NJPW and ROH staff member George Carroll as senior coordinator.

WWE stars will appear on Nickelodeon's Double Dare during the week of April 8.

The New York Mets' WWE Day game will feature Drew McIntyre, Corey Graves, Mickie James, and Curt Hawkins.

Kane's upcoming book is not being done through WWE.

AEW has signed Allie, who has been a prominent part of Impact storylines. That's definitely a blow to Impact's Knockout division, and a significant addition to AEW's women's division.

- Allie's Impact contract expired at the end of 2018. She had been working on a per-date basis since then, but was not signed to a deal.

- Impact decided to stop using Allie after the most recent TV tapings in order to focus on fresh characters. That's frankly quite surprising given how much they had featured here. They can definitely open the door for new talents with her gone, but she was one of their most prominent homegrown characters.

AEW has signed former WWE seamstress Sandra Grey to do a similar role for them.

The Elite will be at C2E2 this weekend.

AEW is casting a character called The Librarian, which fans can send auditions for. That's a pretty clever idea to engage their fans.

G1 Supercard has officially added Jeff Cobb vs. Will Ospreay for both the ROH Television and NEVER Openweight Championships.

Eli Drake's Impact contract ends around the time of Rebellion. Notably he's in the poster for that event but not listed as one of the talents appearing. If they are looking to change the roster around, he could be leaving as well.

Impact's TV tapings this weekend have both sold out.

Impact will air an eSports battle royale with St. Clair College during tonight's episode.

Jim Ross is in discussions with AEW. He still wants to contribute in a prominent role. We'll see if AEW wants that.

WrestleMania advertisements have sprung up locally.

Charlotte Flair promoted Smackdown Live at Fox Sports headquarters.

WWE moving its headquarters got local press.

Tony Nese spoke about his upcoming WrestleMania championship match. That would definitely be a major moment for the local star.

Vince McMahon promoted this year's Warrior Award winner. I'm very glad to see her honored.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon donated $1 million to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Children's Hospital to combat child cancer. That's an awesome step from those two. Great, great work.

Flip Gordon will return at ROH's March 31 Honor Club event in Maryland. His opponent has not yet been named.

CMLL's Caristico and Soberano Jr. are booked for ROH's April 13 TV taping in Pennsylvania and April 14 Honor Club event in Ohio. Caristico is the original Sin Cara.

Chris Sabin's ROH contract has expired without him signing a new deal. Impact will be using him as a producer this weekend. He has not yet had surgery on his torn ACL, which is notable since it's been two months since he learned of the injury.

- Impact is rotating a number of different producers before deciding more permanent replacements for Sonjay Dutt and Abyss.

Becky Lynch discussed her journey to WWE with ESPN.

WWE covered how their rings are made. That's pretty fascinating!

The Miz looked back at his Real World days. He's REALLY progressed since then.

NWA released a Crockett Cup qualifying match where The Briscoes defeated Jeff Cobb and Willie Mack. This was taped the night after ROH's 17th anniversary PPV.

At NXT's Florida live event on March 21:
- Robert Strauss (the former Robbie E) debuted in the corner of Saurav Gurjar alongside Rinku Singh. Gurjar defeated Jermaine Haley, formerly Jonah Rock. Strauss cut a promo before the match. It's interesting he didn't wrestle, although he does have mic skills.
- Shane Thorne lost to Danny Burch in Thorne's first match since February 1.

More wrestling tomorrow.
