WWE injury update, Vince saving XFL?, assorted wrestling press, Interviews with Bischoff/Bellas/Rhea/Taker/Brodie/JR/Seth/Martha, Network content updates, Impact getting compilation series, Titus up for award, wrestling trademarks, DSOTR audience, WWE FS1 audiences, Japan retirement, AEW+NXT matches, and Questions on performing with no crowd, talent returning as the same characters, and WWE being sold

Ember Moon indicated her current injury could end her career. She hasn't wrestled since September and there's no timetable for her to return to the ring. It would suck if things ended like this.

Vince McMahon is believed to be looking to purchase the XFL, as there is a move to refund ticket purchases as part of bankruptcy proceedings. XFL's president is looking to reinstate the league's leases at two venues. Very WWE storyline esque!

Roman Reigns did local press regarding COVID-19 risks.

Eric Bischoff appeared on TMZ Sports to discuss Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone's WCW involvement. I can't help but wish AEW would do its own TNT/TBS crossovers, but they're not looking to go in that direction.

The Bella Twins are on Maria Menounos' latest podcast.

The Miz appeared with PGA 2K21 cover star Justin Thomas.

Rush has trademarked "La Faccion Ingobernable," the name of his ROH faction.

Rocky Romero has trademarked that name was well as Chico El Luchador.

"The Bump" will have a special edition before Takeover: In Your House.

Ric Flair will have a WWE 24 special after Takeover: In Your House. It's called "The Final Farewell" so I assume it follows him at WrestleMania 24.

Matt Riddle will be on the next edition of "The Bump."

Rhea Ripley spoke to PWInsider before NXT. It sounds like the visa situation is still in play.

Impact is getting a compilation series on AXS to follow the main show. "Impact in 60" will feature full matches from the company's library in a one hour spot beginning June 2.

Titus O'Neil is a finalist for ESPN's Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award. He's been a great representative for WWE.

WWE has trademarked "Def Rebel." It's unknown who this will be used for.

The Undertaker discussed WrestleMania 30 on Pardon My Take.

- Undertaker is also on Bill Simmons' podcast.

Brodie Lee promoted Double or Nothing with Sports Illustrated:
- That was a GREAT line about not being able to blame others if this push doesn't work out.

- There were very clear Vince allusions, which is weird since previously the order had been more "spooky."

- Brodie is absolutely a good worker.

- It is pretty cool to see his career continuing to intertwine with Moxley's.

Jim Ross discussed Owen Hart and more with ESPN.

Dark Side of the Ring drew 349,000 viewers for their Owen Hart episode. I would have liked to have seen that be another two-part episode, with the second half dealing more with the battles that followed Owen's accident.

ROH has begun a YouTube series focusing on talent's ROH debuts, with the first episode focusing on Matt Taven. Smart to keep using their library during the pandemic.

FS1's WWE specials drew 214,000 for the first episode and 177,000 for the second episode.

Seth Rollins is on "After The Bell."

Stardom's Arisa Hoshiki has retired due to head and neck injuries. Her Wonder of Stardom Championship has been returned to the company. It's sad to see her career end.

Martha Hart responded to WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt in The Daily Beast.

Mickie James, Victoria, and So Cal Val have launched a YouTube series called "Grown Ass Women."

Michinoku Pro is returning on May 23.

Masked Republic has launched the Lucha Central Podcast Network.

Double or Nothing has added Shawn Spears vs. Dustin Rhodes.

Takeover: In Your House has added:
- Tommaso Ciampa vs. Karrion Kross
- Finn Balor vs. Damian Priest

Dynamite will feature a TNT Championship number one contendership battle royal. The winner will face the champion on June 3. Good to see them jumping right to establishing the title.

NXT has announced:
- Matt Riddle vs. Timothy Thatcher in a cage fight with no pinfalls.
- Kushida vs. Jake Atlas vs. Drake Maverick in the interim cruiserweight championship Block A Finals tie-breaker.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't expect any experienced professionals to have any hesitation because the crowd isn't there. I'm sure they feel the effects more, though.

2 is a repeat.

3. Talent can make suggestions, but ultimately any tweaks have to be approved. Presumably those in power feel the characters and looks were fine as they were and kept things going more or less. Generally when a performer does something that works, they keep doing things in that line. That's why so many actors end up in similar roles repeatedly.

4.a. There's nothing to indicate any sale talks at this time. I really, really don't see anyone planning that big of a purchase during a pandemic.

4.b. I don't see any way Vince sells his company without continuing to be part of it.

Nothing to add to 5.

More wrestling tomorrow.
