Omega set for Japan show, WM36 changes, Braun teases Fury rematch, SD name hurt, assorted wrestling press, WWE titleholder hurt, and Questions on why Charlotte challenged Ripley, blading, Fish frying, and how much the Attitude Era made Austin and Rock (and vice versa)

Kenny Omega is set for DDT's June 7 event. He's able to work in Japan outside of AEW dates.

WrestleMania 36 is seeing some plan changes, especially on the Smackdown side. The Universal Championship match and John Cena's match in particular have apparently been reconsidered. I expect we'll get a better idea of how that all shakes out after Super Showdown.

Braun Strowman responded to Tyson Fury's boxing win. Honestly that's as good of a plan as any!

Shinsuke Nakamura needed nine stitches after Smackdown. I don't think they covered being slammed on a piano in Japan's dojos.

Johnny Gargano put NXT over in a TMZ interview.

Jordan Devlin pulled out of PROGRESS Chapter 103 due to elbow bursitis. He should be back in action soon. I'm glad he's not going to miss much time given his current run.

Cesaro now has a "cowbell" shirt. At least he's finally getting some new merchandise, I guess.

Batista will be on James Corden's Late Late Show this week.

Orange Cassidy is set for World Series Wrestling in June.

ROH signee Adam Brooks works his last Australian match on February 29.

Qatar Pro Wrestling got press in Al Jazeera for their latest show.

Roddy Piper's "They Live" character is getting an action figure.

Tito Santana got press for his autobiography.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Charlotte has beaten Becky and Bayley, but never beaten Rhea. So, she's out to prove she can hang with the rising star.

2. I REALLY doubt they're doing anything just to upset any particular pundit.

3. It's very dangerous but can definitely add to the drama of a match.

4. Depends on how big of a fish fryer he had and how much fish is available.

5.a. I think the "edginess" of the Attitude Era was a beneficial platform for those two, but I also think both men were talented enough to succeed in a variety of environments.

5.b. Without Stone Cold and The Rock, the Attitude Era would have a tough time being as good as it was. They were key parts of that period.

More wrestling tomorrow.
