"Total Bellas" has been renewed for a sixth season. It will debut in the fall. The series continues to be successful.

Paul Heyman's dismissal was partially a result of Vince McMahon shifting priorities due to COVID-19. While initially he was patient to let new stars develop over a period of over a year, declining ratings and the lack of a live audience to gauge who was and wasn't over frustrated him.

WWEPC coach Kendo Kashin has returned to Pro Wrestling NOAH after being laid off from WWE months back.

NJPW's Tama Tonga revealed he was WWE-bound in 2016 alongside AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows, but the company countered with the Guerrillas of Destiny idea and he ended up staying.

Hana Kimura's passing and its aftermath was featured on NHK, the top network in Japan. Japan is looking at strong legislation regarding cyberbullying and going after those who attacked Hana on social media.

DDT is holding TV tapings with 100 fans on June 20 and June 27.

The Owen Hart Foundation will release more merchandise.

New Zealand wrestling is set to return in August.

B. Brian Blair is working on an autobiography.

ROH is looking to do empty arena TV tapings. I'm sure their wrestlers are ready to get back in the ring.

Flip Gordon staying in ROH was partially due to a desire to prove he can make it in the business without The Elite. He was also offered a significant contract.

CMLL considered cutting off relations with NJPW and ROH due to them using Dragon Lee after they stopped using him, but ultimately have not done so.

Billy Gunn is now just using the name Billy due to WWE creating his more famous ring name. I was wondering how that would end up.

Fozzy is set for the KISS cruise from October 29 through November 3. None of those days are a Wednesday so he could easily still work Dynamite.

Dark Order has added Alan Angels as Five.

Howard Stern mentioned AEW on his radio show when the Goldust character was discussed. Stern wondered where Goldust was in 2020, and a staffer passed a note that he was now in AEW. Stern did not know what AEW was and his cohost described it as a backyard wrestling federation. Talk about a burial! AEW is of course much more successful than a backyard wrestling federation, but still remains something of a niche product as far as mainstream attention goes.

WWE asked Zack Ryder if they could use his pool for the recent Otis/Mandy Rose segments. As you might expect, the recently released star wasn't on board with the idea.

Smackdown writer Chris DeJoseph's firing was due to comments made on a conference call that Vince McMahon disapproved of.

Drake Maverick spoke to BT Sport about being rehired and more.

MLW has signed Salina de la Renta to an exclusive deal.

WWE Network is adding more Prime Time Wrestling Monday.

Mick Foley spoke to ESPN about his current physical condition.

Jake Atlas spoke to People magazine.

Les Thatcher and Rudy Boy Gonzalez are holding a seminar at Kane and Tom Prichard's wrestling academy on August 8 and August 9.

Cody Deaner spoke to Slam Wrestling.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I popped for the email reference. I haven't seen anything about him returning there.

2. I don't see that as something WWE is interested in, as that would surely be a great expense. I don't think a physical Hall of Fame is a big priority for the company right now. They've got AXXESS and that's probably the closest we'll see for a while.

3. WWE isn't interested in offering the level of concessions and money Punk would ask for. I don't expect they're eager to potentially repeat the headaches from last time. Honestly I think the best that can be hoped for is a WWE 2K appearance/Hall of Fame kind of situation with maybe a handful of appearances, and even that seems far off.

4. They could try, but given the current cost-cutting and how the Cain Velazquez deal went, I don't see it happening.

5. She's teased interest over the years, but nothing's ever come of it. It takes a lot to put such a deal together and UFC has been the bigger priority.

More wrestling tomorrow.
