AEW's TNT debut date hasn't been decided, but it's expected to start in October. The show, currently unnamed, will be live for two hours each week and will likely air on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Notably, if the show airs on Tuesdays it could be affected by NBA coverage in the spring. The show's debut will likely be in October.

AEW is negotiating TV deals in the UK and Canada, but until a day of the week is decided, things can't move forward. Mexico and Australia are targets for deals, as well.

AEW also looked to air content on Showtime, but that would have likely been for major events rather than a weekly show.

AEW has committed to no scripting or teleprompters for promos, which I'm sure most talents will appreciate.

Chris Jericho not appearing at the TNT upfront presentation was a Tony Khan decision, since having Omega and Jericho in the same place would conflict with them being in a top feud with each other. That's clever.

AEW is expected to have more programming on B/R Live. We'll see what form that takes. WarnerMedia really wants to push that platform and YouTube for content.

Silver King's death was due to a heart attack. He had a pre-existing health condition, but had been cleared to compete by multiple commissions. There was no doctor or ambulance at the venue due to lax UK regulations.

Lars Sullivan's fine came after at least one sponsor pressured WWE to act on the situation, following a fan informing the sponsor of the controversial social media posts. WWE had been aware of his social media posts for at least a year, but didn't want to draw attention to the situation when it first came out. Internally it was known Sullivan regretted the posts. The fine will likely be taken from future earnings.

WWE is allowing Starrcast II to show Bret Hart vs. Tom Magee as part of a resolution regarding the Undertaker/Kurt Angle situation. WWE obviously wanted to beat them to the punch with showing the match and covering it on their own service.

- The match didn't air initially since Magee wasn't signed and Bret lost the match to the unknown worker.

Madison Square Garden is disappointed in slow sales for AAA's event there. Obviously the event has been nowhere near as successful as the quick sellout for G1 Supercard.

AAA's Darian Roldan met with ROH's Joe Koff before the Madison Square Garden press conference. I wouldn't assume anything will come of that as far as the two sides working together given ROH's ties to CMLL.

Jushin "Thunder" Liger will not be at NJPW's Australian shows due to being in Mexico during those dates. NJPW could run Australia again later in 2019 if the June tour works well.

MLW recently had a tryout match turn into a shoot when Brian Idol went over time and did unapproved spots, leading to his opponent Ariel Dominguez pinning him for real. I hope everything's straightened out now, because that's unprofessional.

MLW is having referees undergo CPR training following Silver King's death. I'm glad that's a priority.

War of the Worlds week attendance was 600 for Buffalo, 1,000 for Toronto, 700 for Grand Rapids, and 900 for Chicago. Last year's tour drew 1,900 in Massachusetts, 1,400 in Toronto, 900 in Michigan, and 1,800 in Chicago. That's a pretty notable drop in some places.

ROH, NJPW, CMLL, and NWA are teaming for "Summer Supercard" on Friday, August 9, the same weekend as Summerslam. That's a clever idea.

Slammiversary will likely be set up for around 750 fans.

NJPW has a number of talents interested in working Impact, but they can't due to the agreement between NJPW and ROH. NJPW talents by and large aren't willing to leave that company to join Impact exclusively.

Melissa Santos recently had surgery for a torn ACL suffered when training to wrestle.

AEW has signed former ROH merchandise employee Christina Meyers as well as ROH ring crew employee Shawn Carr to reprise their roles.

AEW is talking with Portugal's Shanna.

Triple H is very frustrated with WWE Creative, as Vince McMahon approves constant changes to storylines from so many suggestions. The process is definitely chaotic these days.

Road Dogg is expected to work with Triple H again once he's ready to return to WWE. He took time off due to the pressure he was under.

Andrade is being praised internally, and WWE is helping him with his English in order to maximize his marketability. Glad to see that.

WWE has signed a Chilean female wrestler to the Performance Center.

Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears (Tye Dillinger) are opening a wrestling school in Florida. So that's at least part of what Spears is doing post-WWE.

WWE is expected to move its UK TV home from Sky Sports to BT Sports. WWE spoke to BT Sports about airing NXT UK at one point before it ended up on WWE Network, so it's possible that series is part of a new deal.

Impact has officially released Gursinder Singh after he requested it last month. It's unknown where he heads next.

Impact released the opening to tonight's episode.

Austin Aries' MLW debut will be at Fury Road against Adam Brooks. I look forward to seeing how Aries does there.

Ric Flair was hospitalized for a needed procedure due to ongoing health complications. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Alexa Bliss has been pulled from Money in the Bank due to concussion issues. Nikki Cross will replace her in the women's Money in the Bank match.

ROH's June 1 TV taping has announced:
- Matt Taven vs. Tracy Williams for the ROH World Championship
- Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan vs. The Bouncers
- Colt Cabana vs. Mark Briscoe for the NWA National Championship
- Jay Lethal vs. Kenny King

Dark Side of the Ring drew 200,000 viewers for season one's final episode.

Ashley Massaro has passed away at 39. She had recently begun training to return to wrestling at the New York Wrestling Connection. That's very unfortunate. WWE.com remembered her and made a collection of social media reactions to her loss.

WWE's Jack Gallagher is being recruited by Bellator. I wouldn't blame him for jumping from 205 Live.

Dolph Ziggler is set for Oz Comic Con in Australia on June 8 and June 9.

Dangerous Danny Davis was profiled.

At NXT's May 16 live event in Florida:
- Brendan Vink and Brennan Williams teamed to defeat 3.0 (who used that team name). Vink and Williams have been opponents and partners in NXT now.
- Killian Dain returned to the brand for his first match since April 4 and his first live event since April 1. He defeated Jermaine Haley. Haley was managed by the former Stokely Hathaway, now known as Malcolm Bivens.
- Drew Gulak worked his first live event since September 2018, losing to Kushida. Gulak has of course worked 205 Live and AXXESS events.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. There's nothing to indicate he has heat. WWE just, for whatever reason, doesn't see him as a commodity worth protecting and pushing.

2. I don't expect AEW to run a $50 PPV every month. I do expect that price is going to stick this time, but it could be adjusted for future shows once their TV deal kicks in and such. They've definitely racked up expenses, and I can see why they want to recoup that investment, but that price tag is making people skeptical about sampling the product.

3. It doesn't look like they were on the European tour. I'm under the impression they're just working Raw TV until their contracts expire.

4. Essentially the aura is that the match was meant to make Magee a star but he floundered, while Hart became quite successful. Since it was lost for so long, its aura grew.

5. Kross wants a lot more than Impact is willing to pay him. As for using so many ECW names, RVD is on a limited contract, and Sabu and The Sandman were special for WM35 weekend and Philadelphia. They're not planning a full-on ECW revival.

More wrestling tomorrow.
