Originally Posted by PWI Ian Riccaboni was sick as a dog with the flu the day of G1 Supercard and was doing everything in his power not to be pulled from the broadcast. The original conceived plan for the debut of the former Beautiful People was to have Madison Rayne laid out as part of that angle but Rayne asked for and received her ROH release, unhappy with the creative for her. The fan who was struck with the ladder at G1 Supercard met with several wrestlers, including Matt Taven and Kazuchika Okada and was given some merchandise before leaving MSG that night. We are told the ladder hit his knee but he's OK. Former ROH stars Julius Smokes and Sal Rinauro were at G1 Supercard. Kevin Eck and Joey Matthews have been more involved in working with the creative team of late, joining Delirious, Todd Sinclair and Bully Ray.

NXT star Kairi Sane was at last night’s Smackdown taping in Brooklyn. There’s talk of Beth Phoenix doing some more wrestling going forward, including next month’s European tour.

Originally Posted by PWI Scott D’Amore, while speaking to PWInsider.com following the AAA press conference last week in Madison Square Garden, said the current hope is to find a new TV home for Impact on a larger platform by this Fall. If and when that happens, secondary Impact programming will pop up on Pursuit Channel (think Xplosion, etc) with the mothership series being placed elsewhere. Impact owner Anthem has a big ownership stake in Pursuit.

Originally Posted by PWI The belief among those we’ve spoken with is that Impact will pursue a breach of contract claim against Eli Drake, which would likely prevent him from signing elsewhere contractually until the situation is resolved. Impact terminated Drake’s contract officially on 4/7, just a few weeks before it was set to expire on 5/31, upset over public statements he had made about the company. Some in the company believed Drake was AEW-bound.

Originally Posted by WrestlingInc WWE RAW and SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch spoke with Gorilla Position before last night's episode of SmackDown. During the conversation, Lynch talked about Vince McMahon's reaction to the first-ever women's main event at WrestleMania, the controversial finish, if she thinks Ronda Rousey will be back after her loss, and what her relationship is like with Rousey. After Sunday's match was done, Lynch was asked how Vince reacted to it and it sounded like he gave Lynch, Charlotte, and Rousey's performance a thumbs up. "He just said he was so proud of us," Lynch said. "He was so proud of us. He did [give us a hug]. He did, yep, but I said, 'I'm The Man now, Vince' and he said, 'Yep!"
