ROH Pure finals set, Lethal school adds trainer, MLW forms partnership, assorted wrestling press, Joshi name joining NXT UK, WWE trademarks, WK15 capacity, Raw audience, Interviews with Hager/Gibbs, WWE movie delayed, Impact notes, NWA title change, and Questions on Impact's lack of attention, the Rumble's status, combining titles, Vince verbiage, and watching Wednesdays

ROH's Pure Championship will be decided this weekend as Jonathan Gresham faces Tracy Williams.

Jay Lethal's wrestling school has added the former Konnor as a coach. He's definitely experienced.

MLW is now working with IWA: Puerto Rico. MLW is making waves with their partnerships.

Beyond Wrestling is canceling its 2020 events due to COVID precautions.

Meiko Satomura is joining NXT UK. She will continue to take limited outside bookings. Amazing WWE is willing to let her work internationally during the pandemic.

WWE has trademarked Ridge Holland, Sam Gradwell, Saxton Huxley, Sid Scala, and Toni Storm.

Leva Bates is on the AEW Unrestricted podcast.

Brandi Rhodes is on Ariane Andrew's latest podcast.

Wrestle Kingdom 15 will be held in front of a capacity of 20,000 fans both nights. That's still a pretty impressive number in these times.

Raw drew 1.73 million viewers, very close to last week's number. Interestingly, the big title change didn't increase ratings.

Danhausen will not work any indie shows for the remainder of 2020. Interesting move.

Dynamite had a Road To video this week.

Jake Hager discussed wrestling before his Bellator return. 

Sadie Gibbs spoke to Chris Van Vliet about leaving AEW and more. 

"Rumble" by WWE Studios is being pushed back to May 14.

Impact's demon wedding was written and produced by RD Evans.

"Impact in 60" this week has Eric Young vs. Bobby Roode. Next week's episode has Awesome Kong vs. Gail Kim.

Serena Deeb won the NWA Women's Championship on UWN Primetime Live, defeating Thunder Rosa. 

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:

1. AXS doesn't have nearly the reach of USA, FOX, or TNT. And, yes, a lot of fans wrote "TNA" off years ago. Once something cools off and stays at a certain level for a while, it's very hard for it to rebound. 

2. I expect WWE to make every effort to hold the Royal Rumble as they usually would. It might not be in the Amway Center, though. 

3. I'm completely fine with them unifying the Raw and Smackdown tag title. 

4. Vince might never know of it. He's got a lot else to focus on. 

5. I record both to watch the next night with no commercials. NXT existed first, so I watch it first. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
