Jon Moxley has been added to NJPW Dominion on Sunday, in a non-title match with Shota Umino.

Kofi Kingston spoke to TMZ Sports about returning to Ghana. It's great he's getting such an opportunity.

Mandy Rose spoke to Muscle and Fitness. She definitely does a great job keeping in shape.

WWE Network's latest Hidden Gems are:
- Dusty Rhodes vs. Larry Zbyszko from AWA in 1984
- Barry Windham vs. Arn Anderson from Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling in 1987
- Jake "The Snake" Roberts vs. Ronnie Garvin for the GCW TV Championship from Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1984

Impact released the opening to tonight's episode. As mentioned recently, Impact's YouTube channel saw its biggest growth ever in May 2019.

Finn Balor, Jake Roberts, Jimmy Hart, and D-Von Dudley will all be at Eternal Con in New York on June 22 and June 23.

"Dark Side of the Ring" posted a bonus clip regarding Chris Adams being smuggled out of Israel.

Japan's Pro Wrestling Zero1 is getting a U.S. affiliate in Massachusetts, with the first show coming August 18. Little Guido, Simon Grimm (Gotch), and Sumie Sakai have been announced for that event.

Japan's Kaz Hayashi is wrestling his first U.S. match since 2007 this weekend for House of Glory.

Dr. Wagner, Jr. and El Hijo del Dr. Wagner, Jr. will face LA Park and El Hijo del LA Park on MLW's July 6 event.

WWE's Absolution and Mickie James attended a GLAAD concert for Pride month. Glad to see Sonya supported like that.

ROH issued a statement regarding the Bully Ray/Allure incident from Saturday's HonorClub show. They're definitely taking it seriously; this could have notable ramifications for those involved.

WWE's 24/7 Championship changed hands twice Thursday, as Jinder Mahal defeated R-Truth on an airport tarmac before R-Truth returned the favor while Jinder was sleeping on the plane. This has really been a breath of fresh air to give us something different from WWE.

Impact's Thursday TV taping was directed by the returning David Sahadi. The producers were Gail Kim, D'Lo Brown, Petey Williams, Jimmy Jacobs, and Pat Buck. Buck was in Gorilla position, and some of his Create-A-Pro students helped out with logistics.

Don Callis worked Impact's Thursday TV taping, but I believe he's missing tonight's taping in order to make it to Japan to call NJPW Dominion this weekend. I'm surprised he's been able to juggle the two companies so well this far.

ECW composer Harry Slash was at Impact's Thursday taping visiting.

NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff was intended to draw attention and fans away from NJPW's UK show going on at the same time, as WWE believed a low number of tickets had been sold for that show. However, NJPW ticket sales are stronger than WWE knew at the time, and NJPW's show should do quite well.

ROH's June 1 TV tapings drew 1,000 fans. Their June 2 HonorClub show drew 650 fans. That's comparable with recent NXT live events outside of Florida.

CMLL's Princesa Sugehit had a serious concussion earlier this month, being taken to the hospital and held for three days.

Ultimo Dragon is returning to Dragon Gate on July 21 for the first time since 2004.

NJPW's June 29 Australia show will not air on New Japan World due to NJPW not having the infrastructure in Australia to present a stream up to their usual standards.

Vampiro is looking to take indie bookings this summer. He's being honored on June 16 for 35 years in wrestling.

Former Impact star Jessie Godderz is on "The Talk" as a Summertime Santa.

Toni Storm lost her wXw women's championship in a fatal four-way, which could mean she's done there. I wouldn't assume so, since NXT UK isn't really running that regularly right now.

OWE's Strong Hearts are appearing for wXw on August 3. Good to see OWE getting a profile.

- OWE is doing a joint show with Singapore Pro Wrestling in Singapore on July 25. That's pretty cool, too.

PROGRESS, wXw, and Smash Wrestling are doing a joint show Summerslam weekend on August 8, followed by a wXw solo show on August 9.

ROH's Top Prospect Tournament will begin at their July 21 HonorClub event in Massachusetts. I'm curious who will be involved.

PJ Black has a partially torn biceps. That sucks, because he's really finding a groove right now in ROH.

Velvet Sky doesn't intend to wrestle for ROH, sticking to her announced retirement. She hasn't wrestled since 2016. Angelina Love and Mandy Leon still actively wrestle, so the angle can mostly work in that sense.

Luchasaurus can take indie bookings until AEW's TV deal begins in October, so that's likely the case with other AEW signees. I'm glad AEW is taking that approach, although I'd understand if they wanted to keep their contracted talent exclusive to their promotion.

King Mo has retired from MMA due to injuries, but is open to returning to wrestling. We'll see if he pops up in Impact or ROH again.

NXT recruits are being offered five-year deals rather than three-year deals in an effort to lock talents in for longer in case they become prominent in the WWE system and then try to feel for other offers.

John Cena was recently on the "Deadpool 3" set. OH. MY. GOD. That could be amazing.

FITE is now telling promotions using WWE contracted talents their shows can't be on their platform. Those promotions can use those names on their own streaming services, though. This seems to be a reaction to FITE showing AEW and NJPW events. WWE can be very petty!

Carmella was on an Australian morning show to promote an upcoming Comic Con appearance.

John Cena spoke at BookCon in New York. Very interesting discussion about the next face(s) of WWE.

At NXT's Florida live event on June 6:
- The former DJZ debuted as Joaquin Wilde and defeated Kona Reeves. I kind of want to see him work with Robert Strauss again. 
- Rachael Evers worked her first live event since April 27, losing to MJ Jenkins. Evers worked a dark match (?) at the May 1 TV taping, losing to Xia Li.
- The former Shane Strickland/Killshot is now Isaiah Scott. He teamed with Brennan Williams to defeat Elliot Sexton and Jonah Rock. 

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. She's expected to return at some point, so we're not in Punk territory yet.

2. I pretty much expect it to happen. Possibly multiple times! Obviously they're not going to promote man-on-woman violence, but it's likely we'll see some shenanigans where at least one woman takes the title.

3. Only the people actually depicted on those programs, shirts, etc.

4. Yes, if someone unexpectedly moves a lot of merchandise or merchandise sales are unimpressive for the push someone's getting, it can affect their placement on the card.

5. I would have expected it to happen before the Wild Card rule, but now Asuka and Kairi have been moved aside. It could still happen at some point if they stay together, but it's notable they're not on TV now.

6. The idea is that you don't know which "four" members of the other show's roster will pop up, but in practice it will likely be the same group of people in rotation rather than "four" random-ish people being chosen each time.

7. Johnson did a lot of work for the original ECW!

More wrestling tomorrow.
