More coronavirus changes, assorted wrestling press, AEW+NJPW book coming, Bellas out of AXXESS, more ROH tournament competitors, NWA title match set for SCOH, WWE panelist returning, Jeff Hardy update, Edge return set, Impact contract expires, Stardom using top commentator, Smackdown dark match, and new WWE PPV match

DDT has postponed their March 14 and March 29 events due to the coronavirus.

- PURE-J has canceled their March 22 event, but their March 8 event is still scheduled.

Liv Morgan spoke to the New York Post to promote Elimination Chamber. Interesting remarks about the Lana angle.

"The Bump" will next feature Mark Henry and Braun Strowman.

Drew McIntyre attended an NHL game to promote Elimination Chamber.

AEW, NJPW, and other promotions' recent rise will be covered in an upcoming book called "Too Sweet: Inside the Indie Wrestling Revolution." It will come out September 1. That's very topical.

The Bella Twins will no longer be signing at AXXESS. No word on why that has changed. 

ROH trainee Gia Scott has been added to their Women's Championship tournament. 

Dalton Castle has been added to ROH's Pure Championship tournament. 

Supercard of Honor has added Nick Aldis vs. PCO for the NWA World Championship. That will be interesting with Flip going for the ROH title that same night.

Peter Rosenberg is returning to WWE for Kickoff specials and other WWE Network roles. It sounds like he could be taking over some of Cathy Kelley's duties. He's a natural fit for that I think.

The Tampa Bay History Center held a pro wrestling exhibit today. Titus O'Neil was at the event.

Terry Funk has pulled out of The Big Event due to health concerns. Sorry to see that.

Jeff Hardy was backstage at Smackdown again this week. I'd like to see him face The Fiend after WrestleMania.

Drew McIntyre spoke to WIP Sports Radio before Elimination Chamber, revealing he was looking to go to NJPW before WWE signed him back. That would have been a gamechanger.

Jake Roberts and Dolph Ziggler's Emerald City Comic Con appearances have been postponed as the whole convention has been delayed by concerns over the coronavirus.

Edge is advertised for Raw. Good move to follow Elimination Chamber strong.

WWE action figures have been delayed due to (you guessed it) the coronavirus. Its effects continue to spread to other areas of business.

Su Yung's Impact contract has expired. She did not compete on last night's Impact taping, but was there.

Jushin "Thunder" Liger is calling Stardom's No People Gate. That's very cool! I like the Bushiroad integration.

Chris Jericho's Revolution entrance got press in BBC of all places.

WWE is offering summer internships at their headquarters for a variety of roles.

After Smackdown, The Fiend defeated Daniel Bryan.

Elimination Chamber has added Daniel Bryan vs. Drew Gulak in a match that has potential to be really fantastic.

More wrestling tomorrow.
