MLW clip show announced, assorted wrestling press, Florida governor discusses WWE, WWE opposing FTR, WWE release, Interview with Kofi, Zayn update, Deonna note, and WWE women hold Twitch

MLW announced MLW Anthology coming to beIN Sports. This show will make use of MLW's video library form its early years.

John Cena participated in a Dr. Seuss virtual graduation.

Rob Gronkowski appeared on "The Masked Singer" post-show. So anyone looking to become 24/7 Champion might want to look there.

WWE's live event status was addressed in the Florida governor's press conference. As major as WrestleMania would have been for the state (and might be in 2022), I see why he's prioritizing them.

AEW's Unrestricted podcast features Aubrey Edwards this week.

Jim Ross will return to AEW commentary next week.

WWE is considering opposing FTR's trademarks of "No Flips, Just Fists" "Say Yeah" and #FTRKO," as they have requested an extension to the deadline for those being registered.

WWE has released Curtis Axel. I'm a little surprised he was the only one cut Thursday. I wouldn't think he'd be as likely to be signed elsewhere as other names WWE has severed ties with recently, but we could end up seeing him again.

WWE Network's next Best of WWE collection is the best Smackdown matches of the past decade.

Dynamite drew 693,000 viewers Wednesday, down a bit from last week.

NXT drew 637,000 viewers Wednesday, also down from last week.

Braun Strowman helped local healthcare workers.

Kofi Kingston spoke to BT Sport about WWE continuing to run during the pandemic and more.

L.A. Park has suffered a fractured tailbone and broken toe. He intends to continue wrestling. Ouch!

All Japan Pro Wrestling is looking to add female competitors to regularly work the promotion. That will be interesting.

The Santino Brothers wrestling school has shut down due to not having income during the pandemic. That's rough.

Sami Zayn voluntarily missed last week's Smackdown.

Deonna Purrazzo recently indicated she intended to voluntarily leave WWE when her contract ended. I think she'll have other opportunities to show what she can do now.

Paige recently held a Twitch with Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, Natalya, and Renee Young. Natalya addressed her passing gas gimmick.

More wrestling tomorrow.
