Gronk-WWE update, Interviews with Titus/Corbin/Ford/Angle/Rhea/Bushiroad founder, convention moved, Fulton update, WWE segments, more on DeJoseph-WWE, MVP update, Raw audience, Linda Hogan banned from AEW, FTR speaking to Cornette, Impact segment dropped, and Questions on Hogan's era ending, Braun's next defense, McIntyre facing people he's worked with before, and women's angles not focused on titles

Rob Gronkowski is no longer under WWE contract after putting his release clause in effect. That's not hugely surprising given his NFL return. We'll see if he ends up returning once his football career is truly done.

Titus O'Neil spoke to TVInsider about being nominated for ESPN's Muhammad Ali Award. Glad to see his work promoted.

King Corbin is on Dread Central's "Who Goes There" podcast.

Montez Ford spoke to The Wrap before Raw.

WWE joined the All In challenge to fight food insecurity.

The Gathering in North Carolina has been moved to July 2021.

Kurt Angle spoke to Comic Book Resources and Sports Illustrated about Matt Riddle going to Smackdown and more.

Kairi Sane showed her cut from wrestling Nia Jax. That's gruesome!

- Kairi's umbrella paid tribute to Hana Kimura.

Dalton Castle is on ROH's latest episode focusing on debut matches.

Bobby Fulton announced most of his cancer is gone.

Raw has added a decathlon between Street Profits and Viking Raiders. That's a fitting way to wrap up their current angle.

Smackdown's Chris DeJoseph was released due to behavior during meetings. More details are not available.

MVP has moved to being a full-time performer. He is no longer producing as he originally intended. He has been very valuable on-screen.

Raw drew 1.73 million viewers this week, very similar to last week.

Jeff Hardy will have a "tell-all" on Smackdown this week. They're really going to some real-life struggles with his angle.

Rhea Ripley spoke to Metro in the UK. That visa story really took on a life of his own.

Tony Khan has banned Linda Hogan from AEW after Twitter remarks referencing recent civil unrest. Khan indicated Hulk Hogan is also banned. That's certainly a strong stand.

Bushiroad's founder discussed coronavirus precautions. They're really stressing looking out for their employees.

FTR will be on Jim Cornette's podcast Friday. I'm sure Cornette will have a lot to say about their new home of employment.

Impact originally had a Tessa Blanchard interview via satellite, but this was dropped.

For my take on Tuesday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That seems like a pretty fair timeframe.

2. To establish Braun as a monster/threat. He did pin Goldberg clean, after all.

3. Drew's been in the business a pretty good while, so there are a lot of people he's crossed paths with. The decisions of future opponents will be made based on what makes sense in the ongoing storylines, and that may or may not include opponents from the past.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. Basically that will come down to there being the right idea for one.

More wrestling tomorrow.
