MLW had Japan's Samurai TV filming content during WrestleMania weekend. It's unknown if that means MLW will end up on that channel.

MLW is interested in using Minoru Tanaka again later this year after his WrestleMania weekend appearances.

MLW is looking to use a number of UK talents now that they are on TV there.

Midsouth Wrestling episodes from 1984 and 1985 are coming to WWE Network this month.

AEW is promoting "Fyter Fest" for their June 29 event with CEO Gaming, with Jacksonville NFL players assisting in the promotion. This is a takeoff of the Fyre Festival that ended up not happening. Pretty funny stuff.

Jim Ross is open to a WWE return. The guy just signed with AEW and people are already asking when he's coming back????

Kenny Omega, Don Callis, and CWE will hold a tug-of-war to promote a local border collie rescue.

Impact is looking to increase marketing and promotion. They could use that given their current TV situation.

Sami Callihan has been pulled from an independent appearance to work Impact's April 12 Twitch special, so Impact has him on a contract where their bookings take precedence.

Impact is expected to sue Eli Drake for breach of contract for not competing against Tessa Blanchard as booked. This would prevent him from signing elsewhere until the situation is resolved. It's believed he was planning to go to AEW. I don't know if this is worth Impact's time, money, and resources, although they likely have a case.

Johnny Impact is set to work AAA's Madison Square Garden event. It's possible Impact makes sure he's champion then in order to capitalize on the major market.

Impact's Ethan Page and Josh Alexander are teaming as The North.

Daniel Bryan and The Miz were not at Smackdown Live. Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre appearing was likely to make up for that, as well as the injuries to AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio. We'll see who gets shifted around next week to make up for that.

The IIconics' Smackdown Live opponents were Kris Statlander and Karissa Rivera.

NXT's Kairi Sane was backstage at Smackdown Live. I fully expect her to move on from NXT soon.

Beth Phoenix could wrestle more, namely at the upcoming European tour. I don't expect her to return full-time, but she could boost things with some appearances.

Kane was not at WWE TV after appearing at AXXESS. That's not a big surprise. He's got other duties right now.

Dasha Fuentes has been released. This was a WWE decision. She was not part of WrestleMania weekend.

WrestleMania 35 was attended by Macaulay Culkin, David Arquette, American Ninja Warrior's Akbar Oluwakemi-Idowu Gbajabiamila, SNL's Chris Redd, actor Kumail Ninjani, and "Pitch Perfect"'s Skyler Austin.

Impact Wrestling's UK TV home is shifting to 5STAR on April 26. The channel has a younger audience than their current home there.

Ian Riccaboni worked Supercard with a bad flu.

The Allure was originally going to attack Madison Rayne, but she left before that angle occurred. Rayne is the one who pushed for Angelina Love and Velvet Sky to come to the promotion. Velvet last competed in 2016, so we'll see how much she wrestles during this run.

Former ROH stars Julius Smokes and Sal Rinauro were at Supercard.

ROH Creative has added Kevin Eck and Joey Mercury. They join Delirious, Bully Ray, and Todd Sinclair.

ROH's April 13 TV taping has added:
- Jay Lethal, Jeff Cobb, and Jonathan Gresham vs. Villain Enterprises
- Mark Haskins and Tracy Williams vs. TK O'Ryan and Vinny Marseglia
- The Briscoes vs. Caristico and Soberano, Jr.
- PJ Black vs. Eli Isom
- Bandido vs. Shane Taylor

ROH's April 14 HonorClub event has added:
- Villain Enterprises vs. The Kingdom for the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship
- RUSH vs. Soberano, Jr.
- Bandido vs. PJ Black vs. Flip Gordon vs. Caristico
- Jenny Rose vs. Holidead

Sasha Banks missed Raw and Tuesday's "Wendy Williams Show" due to a family emergency. I hope she's able to return to WWE soon.

AJ Styles' injury is hip-related, but a formal diagnosis has not been confirmed yet. Hopefully it's minor and he can return to the ring before long.

WrestleMania 35's Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins match was moved to starting the event during Kickoff. The original plan was for Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles to begin the show. There's no official word on why the change was made, especially that close to showtime.

Drew McIntyre left Smackdown Live's main event a few minutes into the match. More on this tomorrow.

WWE is selling replicas of the UpUpDownDown Championship. It's a good time to be New Day.

Seth Rollins and Cesaro are on the latest WHOOP podcast.

NXT's Wednesday night taping featured technology that let fans listen to commentary live in the building. That's a really cool idea. I expect we'll see more of that going forward when it's feasible for larger events.

Raw has announced a July 1 TV taping in Texas at the same venue NJPW is holding G1 Climax in five nights later. In some ways that might work in NJPW's favor, since they can advertise at the venue.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com question:
1. I'm going to mostly stay out of this one since it's mainly a dispute between them rather than something to weigh in on. I do think there's a common narrative that anything good that happens in WWE is because of the wrestlers and everyone other than Vince, but everything bad that happens is largely his fault. Vince definitely has to sign off on everything that happens, but sometimes talents' work ethic makes such a compelling case he does go with what the critics want even if it's not what he personally wants. As for booing Roman, I continue to say there's a difference between booing his character, performance, and booking compared to booing the person who overcame leukemia. Obviously that's not really something that can be expressed easily in a chant or live reaction.

More wrestling tomorrow.
