Jeff Hardy court update, Interviews with Aron Stevens/Big Show, WrestleMania fallout press and other notes, new Dynamite match, assorted wrestling press, WWE corporate promotion, AEW signing, and Questions on WCW start times, HHH replacing Johnny Ace, taping multiple WM match endings, Brodie Lee's vignettes, and taping ahead

Jeff Hardy's scheduled court date has been moved back to May 11. I'm surprised his return was so brief.

Aron Stevens spoke to Lilian Garcia.

Drew McIntyre appeared on ESPN2's Grolic and Wingo, CBS' Tiki + Tierney, and BT Sport to discuss WrestleMania.

Charlotte Flair appeared on ESPN's Get Up to discuss WrestleMania.

Dynamite has added Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa vs. The Best Friends.

Jeremy Borash was also involved with the Boneyard match. He was a key figure in the Broken Universe.

WrestleMania's Firefly Fun House match was put together by Bruce Prichard, Bray Wyatt, and John Cena. That was truly a very enjoyable experience.

ROH has teamed with Salvation Army for a charity T-shirt.

Michael Cole has been promoted to vice president of announcing. That makes sense given all his roles in that capacity.

WrestleMania 36 was the most social event in WWE history, with significantly more Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter impressions than previous editions.

Big Show discussed his Netflix show with TV Insider and Instinct Culture. Funny that they'd ask if he was returning to the ring!

WrestleMania was Google's top trend Saturday.

ROH's website has debuted "Word of Honor," long articles written by ROH talent.

AEW has signed Anna Jay, who competed on this week's Dynamite. She's a student of QT Marshall. Given how much content was taped there recently, it makes sense we were going to see more of her in the weeks ahead.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. This was called Turner Time, and was one of Ted's moves to make his channels stand out.

2. I think to a degree Laurinaitis wanted out, but the larger story was probably Triple H wanting to be a bigger part of building the company's future. There was only so much room for him to move up the corporate ladder since Vince wasn't getting out of the way. So he was given his own playground, more or less.

3. No. Frankly they were probably already burned out with taping so much content and wanted to get as much as possible in the can quickly, so I don't expect that happened.

4. 100%. They couldn't make it any more obvious whom they're referring to.

5. They have taped in-ring content through the end of May in anticipation for Double or Nothing... if that show ends up happening as scheduled.

More wrestling tomorrow.
