Roman Reigns spoke to TMZ Sports about missing WWE and more, saying he's staying home to look after his newborns. There was speculation he was missing shows due to his past with leukemia, but he stated his medication isn't affecting his immune system.

WWE is putting together a "Best Main Events of the Decade: 2010-2020" DVD for August. The UK is getting "The Attitude Era: The Complete Collection" combining previous DVDs in that line.

FS1 will air the first two Ruthless Aggression episodes on May 19.

Sonny Kiss and AEW official Bryce Remsburg are on Justin Roberts' latest podcast.

The Rock will be the focus of a career retrospective in photos. The book is set to release September 8.

NXT UK's next episode will feature fan chosen matches.

WWE 2K is looking for fan feedback. That's brave of them!

In The Undertaker WWE Network series hype:
- Undertaker spoke to Variety. The Boneyard Match was definitely a high point to go out on if he so chooses. I wouldn't assume he will, however.

- Michelle McCool spoke to New York Post:
-- I didn't realize he'd had that many surgeries. Yikes.

-- There was absolutely a feeling that the Reigns match was set up to be his last Mania.

-- I can see Taker saying he wants to go out with a match in front of a live audience.

-- I love that Brock was like "hell yeah I'll break The Streak." It had become inevitable that Taker would win every year. WM30 was a nice change.

-- That Goldberg match was really scary.

- New York Post covered the documentary.

WWE announced adjourning its stockholders meeting again due to coronavirus concerns. It is now rescheduled for June 11.

Australian wrestling's effects from COVID-19 were covered.

Stephanie McMahon has sold more than 23,000 shares of WWE stock, getting more than a million dollars in the process.

Drew McIntyre discussed India's passion for wrestling.

Erick Rowan had an unused WrestleMania 32 mask shown on Twitter. That looks incredible!

The Jimmy Snuka-Nancy Argentino story was covered in Mel Magazine.

PodcastOne is being sold to LiveXLive.

Jay Lethal will be on ROH's next podcast.

Silas Young and Josh Woods are launching a weekly show on Facebook.

The Bouncers have launched a Zoom show. Session Moth Martina was their first guest.

ROH has debuted a series focusing on when important stars were prospects. The first episode has Adam Cole and Mike Bennett.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to add to 1, 2, or 3.

4. I'm under the impression they have a lot of content they've already taped that hasn't aired yet. I would think they'll save the classic content for the new series.

5. I expect it will be NXT's return to North Carolina that was scheduled for a few weeks back but is now set for November.

More wrestling tomorrow.
