WWE releases comment on 90 days passing, Major Wrestling figures coming, Good Brothers discuss leaving WWE, wrestling content updates, Interviews with MVP/Crews/Barrett, Smackdown audience, Naomi responds to Twitter support, Joey Ryan responds to allegations, Impact preview, and Questions on Impact spoiling the Good Brothers and how I'd change the Network

Former WWE stars released videos or statements at the end of their 90-day no-compete clauses:
- EC3

- Good Brothers

- Rowan (Erick Redbeard)

- Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona)

- No Way Jose (Levy Valenz), who referenced EC3's video.

- Heath Slater (now just going by Heath)

The Major Wrestling Figure Podcast announced an action figure deal with Super7.

The Good Brothers' Talk'N Shop Podcast returned with Ryan Satin and Rocky Romero. Here are some highlights:
- Interesting to hear about NJPW allowing them to do AEW. There continue to be no signs of a working agreement, but certain names have special cases where they can work for either company.

- Oooooh. Interesting to hear there's heat from AEW. Their WWE renewal obviously didn't turn out well and now they're in Impact; we'll see if they ever end up working with the Bucks again.

- They really shouldn't have been surprised they ended up losing again. 

- Heyman is an intriguing character, for sure. 

- VERY interesting discussion of them being cut. 

WWE Network is adding more ECW home video releases Monday.

Mick Foley will be on "WWE Break it Down" next Sunday.

MVP spoke to talkSPORT before Extreme Rules. I had actually forgotten he worked with the Australian team earlier. That could be an interesting stable. 

Smackdown drew 1.89 million viewers this week.

Ric Flair and Eva Marie are featured in the Celebrity Slots mobile app.

Naomi responded to "#NaomiDeservesBetter" trending on Twitter. The whole division deserved better than that karaoke segment. Yikes.

Lita and Bubba Ray Dudley are advertised for Extreme Rules' Watchalong. I'm curious what's next for Bubba after his ROH deal expired. I wonder if he could be a commentator?

Apollo Crews spoke to TVInsider before Extreme Rules.

Wade Barrett spoke to Chris Van Vliet about Nexus at WrestleMania 36.

Joey Ryan released a long video responding to the #SpeakingOut movement, saying he will refute every allegation against him.

Impact Tuesday night has announced:
- EC3 and Heath appearing
- The North vs. Motor City Machine Guns for the tag team championship

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Realistically not a lot of people were going to purchase the PPV to be surprised. Hopefully they got some more interest in the show by announcing that. 

Nothing to add to 2, 4, or 5. 

3. Honestly I'd be looking to license that content out to someone else. The Network has drastically underperformed. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
