WWE travel note, assorted wrestling press, NWA titleholder drops title, Extreme Rules plans, major international tryout, more AEW signings, WotW matches set, more Shakeup moves, another NXT rename, Ronda appearance set, WWE shifting events, Japanese name sets retirement tour, Ricochet auctions, SDL live event notes, and Questions on Becky losing, when show lineups will change, Heyman's status, who authorized the Shakeup, and EC3's booking

Raw's Friday night live event also had travel issues with a referee and ring announcer. I'm not sure what exactly happened there.

Seth Rollins' wrestling school had a number of WWE visitors before Sunday's live event.

Alexa Bliss did a signing at a Cricket Wireless store before Raw.

Jazz vacated the NWA Women's Championship due to medical and personal issues, but teased a potential return to the company.

- Allysin Kay will face an opponent TBA for the championship at Crockett Cup.

Extreme Rules has advertised:
- Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin for the WWE Universal Championship
- Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton
- AJ Styles vs. Drew McIntyre
-- So those are the tentative plans for July.

WWE's China return in July will include a nearly 50-person tryout spanning four days. WWE's recruitment website is now available in Mandarin as a result. That's a significant opportunity to pick up more raw talent.

Seth Rollins got an "Iowa's Own BeastSlayer" shirt for his local market.

DC's lucha libre-themed line is being reevaluated for other uses.

AEW has signed Peter Avalon, Private Party, and Leva Bates (formerly Blue Pants). They're definitely filling out the roster.

War of the Worlds' May 8 New York show has added:
- Villain Enterprises vs. Jeff Cobb, Yuji Nagata, and Satoshi Kojima for the Six-Man Tag Team Championship
- Bandido vs. Flip Gordon
- RUSH vs. Silas Young
- EVIL and SANADA vs. Mark Haskins and Tracy Williams
- Shane Taylor vs. Hikuleo
- PJ Black vs. Alex Coughlin
- Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan vs. Clark Connors and Karl Fredericks

WWE's Superstar Shakeup continued:
- Smackdown Live got Andrade and Zelina Vega from Raw, due to FOX wanting to keep a top Latin star on the brand. FOX wants to showcase WWE's Latin names on Fox Deportes. So, if you're wondering how much pull the TV stations have in who gets on what show, there's your answer. This also adds to the gap between the two women's rosters.
- Smackdown Live got Aleister Black from Raw (or free agency?), partially due to him being married to Vega. SDL's Creative team also had ideas for using him going forward, which is good because he can really be a star.
- Raw got Cesaro from Smackdown Live, ending The Bar.
- Raw got Samoa Joe from Smackdown Live, as was the plan last week.
-- Anyone want to take bets on how long it is before someone else switches shows? Nikki Cross is still unassigned.

The NXT Tag Team Champions are currently known as The Viking Raiders, which seems a little redundant but is seemingly an upgrade from last week's name. They are still "Erik" and "Ivar" for now.

Ronda Rousey is set for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Monday night to promote Mortal Kombat 11. I'd think her wrestling status will be discussed, too.

WWE's June 7 Saudi Arabian has set some schedule changes:
- WWE's June 7 Utah live event is being moved to June 16 in the same market.
- WWE's June 8 Colorado live event is being move to June 15 in the same market.
- Backlash on June 16 is now just a live event. Backlash could be moved to June 23, likely in Washington where a show is currently scheduled for that date.

Japan's Riki Choshu is retiring on June 26.

NXT stars are doing auctions to support Ricochet's family. That's fantastic.

Ricochet was put over in his home town.

At Smackdown Live's Monday live event in Iowa:
- Matt Hardy and R-Truth defeated Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. Jeff Hardy was not in action Sunday nor Monday after competing Saturday night. Interestingly, Anderson and Gallows weren't on the rest of the tour loop and hadn't been on live events since February 25.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It will depend on what opportunities present themselves. Lacey Evans certainly has a chance to take the Raw title.

2. It looks like the brands have been shifted for U.S. tours. Certainly by the first European live event people will know who's on which show.

3. Probably working on how Brock will get back into things for Saudi Arabia, as well as providing guidance to talents that ask for it.

4. The McMahons took full control of both shows back in December. I assume they got together and made all the brand switches and re-switches.

5. I always say WWE has so many talents they want to feature. Someone's got to be on the lower end of the booking if others are going to be pushed. EC3's in that spot now. It certainly looks like EC3 was called up just to freshen the roster up rather than there being a plan for him.

More wrestling coming up.
