Main Event Reax - 4/27/19, Rebellion intro, Bryan advertised for upcoming shows, new Ride Along coming, Rollins appears at NXT show, NXT live event notes, who's advertised for men's MITB, Crockett Cup hype, Interviews with Vickie/Y2J, new Rebellion match, former WWE stars at WWEPC, another classic MITB match on YouTube, female retirement official, and Questions on WWE vs. Mushnick, Johnny Karate Kid, Malenko-AEW, Bray's new gimmick, and reuniting Drake with EC3

-- Main Event:
- Dana vs. Ruby:
OK back-and-forth so far.

That was solid for the time it had.

- EC3 vs. Jose:
Glad this is heating up now.

Ehhh. Just kind of there. 

Impact released the opening to Rebellion. I'm looking forward to the show.

Daniel Bryan is advertised for Smackdown Live and the upcoming European tour. Whether that advertising is current is unknown, but hopefully he will be able to return shortly.

WWE Ride Along after Raw will feature Beth Phoenix and Natalya as well as Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X-Pac. That should be pretty interesting.

Seth Rollins appeared at NXT's April 26 live event in Iowa. The show was in his hometown.

At NXT's April 26 live event in Iowa:
- Rachael Evers teamed with Io Shirai to defeat Aliyah and Vanessa Borne. Evers teamed with Mia Yim the previous night. I wouldn't assume either are permanent pairings.
- Shane Thorne and Kona Reeves teamed in a loss to the Street Profits. A Thorne/Kona team isn't a terrible idea given that neither man is really getting momentum as a singles star.
- A couple got engaged on the entrance ramp. That's pretty cool!!

Money in the Bank is locally advertising Drew McIntyre, Lars Sullivan, Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, Cesaro, Aleister Black, and Andrade as being involved in the men's ladder match. That's definitely a pretty impressive lineup, and some fresh blood in the mix for the world titles.

Magnum TA promoted the Crockett Cup. Good to see him put over current stars in the piece.

Vickie Guerrero discussed Chris Benoit going into the WWE Hall of Fame and more. Still a heat magnet! It will be a long time before WWE even considers putting him in given the black eye he gave the company with his final acts. A lot more people know him as a murderer than as an amazing wrestler.

Impact Rebellion has added Moose and The North vs. The Rascalz in a six-man tag match. The card is definitely missing something with Eddie Edwards vs. Eli Drake no longer happening.

Santino Marella and Mike Mondo were guests at the WWE Performance Center recently. It's cool to see stars from the past come back and pass on knowledge.

WWE uploaded 2010's Raw Money in the Bank match to YouTube to promote this year's show. I feel like they're cutting into the Network's viability as a place to see past matches with moves like this.

Jim Cornette spoke to Sports Illustrated about the Crockett Cup and its history.

Nick Aldis spoke to the New York Post about Crockett Cup and his history with Marty Scurll.

Kris Wolf officially retired at EVE's show this weekend. I wish we would have seen her more prominently in the U.S. at some point.

Chris Jericho discussed AEW and more.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. And now we're at a time when WWE programming will air on a network owned by the same company that employs Mushnick!

2. I haven't seen anything to suggest that.

3. With him appearing at Starrcast, he'll definitely be available to sign there. The only other info that's come out is the feeling older producers were being phased out for newer ones, and he left before he could be replaced.

4. I definitely think it's going to be more sinister as time goes on.

5. It's definitely worth a shot. Frankly 205 Live shouldn't take precedent over Raw or Smackdown Live. If there's a better role for Drake beyond that brand, they should do it.

More wrestling coming up.
