Next Wednesday's episode will focus on the Bruiser Brody murder.
Next week's numbers should be interesting since its been available online for a while due to Viceland airing it as the pilot episode for the series.

We continue to receive complaints about the issue from readers with different providers and again, this week, on my own provider, Verizon Fios, the series is listed for 30 minutes with 3 replays, which means that if I don’t add time to my DVR (or pay attention enough to care), I’d end up with 30 minutes and nothing more of the show. I know that Impact management has been well aware of the issue and the channel is slow to respond to requests, but at this point, it’s beyond terrible that nothing has been fixed

Coppock was also the ring announcer for the Chicago portion of WWF's second Wrestlemania in 1986 and made at least one radio appearance doing announcing for WWF's Radio show, commentating with Gorilla Monsoon for a radio broadcast of Wrestlemania X in 1994 in NYC. He also handled local promotional interviews pushing WWF events in Chicago in the late 1980s.

It appears that when Lynch loses one of those titles, she’ll be exclusive to the other brand.

Only a few wrestlers were brought up. The two top stars of the last year on 205 Live, Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander, were moved off the brand, with Murphy going to Smackdown and Alexander to Raw. While it’s long been established that 205 Live is somewhere between developmental and purgatory, this establishes that the original goal of it being the home for the best under-205 pound guys in the company is over and it’s just an hour of filling time and waiting for the top guys to make it to the main roster. Even though Murphy was cruiserweight champion and on many PPV shows (granted, often on the pre-show), when he arrived on Smackdown he did an introduction interview with the premise most people didn’t know him and would be hearing about him for the first time.

There is talk he may go back to NXT as a single, or he could be used as a flagship guy on the European brand.

It’s basically a situation based on two factors, the nature of the WWE Hall of Fame being what it is, which as those in the company have always stressed, is nothing more than a marketing idea and not meant to be taken seriously, and an industry that has reshaped its history to where much of it is ignored and the modern fan knows little of it. The usual rules apply, one woman, one African-American, which can be tricky since that isn’t the easiest. They used Luna Vachon as the woman, which is fine since there are no real standards for a WWE Hall of Fame, past the point that Vachon shouldn’t even be in the legacy category since she was part of the company’s modern era. The African-American was S.D. Jones, the perennial prelim wrestler, joining Johnny Rodz as guys who were essentially television jobbers being in the Hall of Fame.

There will be tournaments in a number of weight divisions as well as tag teams. The number of people in the tournament varies by division. We don’t have names yet but they announced there would be competitors from Elite (the Mexican promotion, not AEW), Arolucha in the U.S., Impact, MLW and AAA in all divisions. The idea is that the winner of each weight class will be recognized as champion in all five promotions and defend the title in all of them. It will be a new weekly TV show short-term on TV Azteca for the summer. The name of the show looks to be “Gladiatores: Liga de Campeone de Lucha Libre,” or Champions League of Wrestling

So it was the combination of not getting the title run they expected to establish the belts as meaningful and not joke belts, and splitting up their team so quickly that got both of them upset. Bayley was upset but didn’t quit or anything.

Despite rumors to the contrary, she was never booked for television this week, at least since WrestleMania. They are hopeful she’ll be back over the next few weeks and she is tentatively booked for the 5/19 Money in the Bank show in Hartford, but nothing is concrete as far as her status. If she returns, she’s scheduled for Raw, because the reason for the split-up is that Bayley was always scheduled to move to Smackdown, a decision that has been the plan for some time even though kept secret until probably whenever they told Bayley she had to stay the extra day in Montreal this week

Plus, if WWE was handling it themselves, they would be able to get discounts. One person who is an accountant for a company that handles a lot of travel noted that WWE could open an account with Hilton as their official hotel and probably get costs down very low with deals that include parking, breakfast and gym access. In addition it was noted that a lot of wrestlers have gym memberships to chains, so that in most cities they can find a gym of that chain and it’s just part of their annual dues. That isn’t always the case. IRS guidelines are $71 per day per diems for workers on the road in most cities and $104 in major expensive cities like a New York or a San Francisco, although you can get that figure down if you have a hotel deal that provides for free breakfasts. The point being that one accountant who deals with this said even a $20 million estimate on costs to WWE for making talent employees would be insanely high.
This is in regards to Fightful's article about how much it would cost WWE to cover all of their wrestlers as actual employees. Basically the real amount would be a lot lower than what Fightful suggested and WWE pretty much doesn't do it due to their greed.

The idea of why was explained last week, but not everyone bought that. The original idea was to do a very quick bit that would take place in the corner by the guard rails. Enzo was to grab Mark Briscoe and Mark was to shove Enzo and that would be it. It would be so quick so as not to sound the alarms. People on TV may or may not see it, but people would hear about it. I guess the idea, since Enzo did interrupt a WWE show legit, was to play off that. Security was to then take Enzo away to make it look real. The idea is that if there was a buzz, maybe they’d follow up, but if nobody cared, it was so short that people would just assume it was real. It got out of control and right now there are no plans to bring them back, but there are also different people with different viewpoints involved with creative and it’s not clear how the wind will blow.

"You can show up every week, it takes a matter of skill."

"Support doesn't win matches."

"No big shocker here that the somersaults that Dana Brooke is doing aren't exactly paying off. I'm sure she's great on a balance beam."

"When has Dana Brooke ever seized the moment?"

Following the episode airing, Dana Brooke fired back on Twitter.

"Sam - always thought we were cool, but Damn, wondering why @WWE doesn’t have u on a lot, you burry people!! what have u accomplished.. prob gave up at it, unlike me I push through never giving up!Maybe @ReneeYoungWWE Will be right when I block you & 1 day make U eat your words!"

Brooke followed that up by calling Roberts "a mark" in a reply to a Twitter user.

This isn't the first time Roberts has buried talent as fans may recall his scathing comments aimed at Bianca Belair prior to NXT TakeOver: Phoenix. In his non-apology to Belair, Roberts said that he is not fed lines and is allowed to speak what is on his mind while in the booth.

He jumped the shark with me during an interview with Cornette. He asked Cornette about his dislike of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, and Corny spoke pretty bluntly about all the things he said. Then, after the interview ended, Roberts said it was impressive how he "spun" things. He wasn't trying to be an asshole, but he let Cornette tell his side and then just completely disregarded it for the internet narrative, which was so frustrating.

WWE has cancelled the June BACKLASH ppv in San Diego as they have shifted the next Saudi Arabia show to June 7th, which was a week before BACKLASH was scheduled.

Andrade move was probably because they realized they no longer had a high profile Hispanic star on SD! as well as his relationship with Charlotte.

I imagine Black and Cesaro were just a trade. Seems they decided to split Black and Ricochet, and it makes it easier to explain it away if they just put them on separate shows. Cesaro clearly has nothing to do now that Sheamus is out so just throw him over on RAW to give him some fresh faces to fight.

I would have probably sent Ricochet to SD! though and Black to Raw. Just due to personal preference of who I would have rather seen them feud with potentially. Black vs AJ and Ricochet vs Mustafa Ali would have been awesome. Now we'll get Ricochet with Cedric Alexander in some capacity probably and Black ends up in a program with Nakamura.

If they do have Black and Nakamura feud I hope they let them put on a more Japanese style program if that makes sense. Let those 2 go all out strong style and work the hell out of each other in July at Extreme Rules. Just to test out something a little different than the normal WWE booking. Lot of potential there. Plus you could get both of them over hard in the process and then everybody win!

Once they decided to move Andrade back, they had to move Aleister as well to keep him with Zelina. They're pretty good about not splitting couple up given the different touring schedules the brands have.

Makes me think Alexa and Buddy Murphy are splitsville otherwise I think it would've been Buddy on Raw and Cedric on SmackDown.

Well, they don’t have to. There are plenty of wrestlers that don’t get to travel with their partners, and some may not want to be around each other so much. They do it, but they don’t have to.

As for Bliss/Murphy: I’d have guessed Raw for Murph and SD for Ceddy Xands too (in fact, I did), but they seem to only keep married couples together and split unwed ones. Could also just be that they don’t want the schedule. And Murphy was working 205 Live on Tuesday anyway.

Just don’t get why the moves and then the mind-changing. Shows how little clue they have.

Apparently Bliss mentioned in a past episode of Lillian Garcia's podcast show that she's no longer dating Murphy. It was an amicable split and both are still close friends.

Only reason the married couple rule exists is due to how badly WWE handled the first draft from the original brand split and Vince's noted history of trying to wreck couples for petty reasons. He tried to split up Lana and Rusev for real due to him feeling Rusev wasn't worthy of having someone of Lana's beauty.

It's a terrible sign because traditionally the show starts a decline this time of year, until June, with decreases as the NBA playoffs get into the later rounds ...

As far as the first-to-third hour drops, they were 18.5 percent in women 18-49, 14.7 percent in men 18-49, 6.3 percent in girls 12-17, and 33.1 percent in boys 12-17. The latter figure is an unprecedented level of teenage boys tuning out during the show.

The series is different from Dark Side of the Ring with Abraham traveling to locations including Japan, Nunavut, Bolivia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo with the professional wrestling as the backdrop. There are interviews throughout the series with MVP, Mia Yim, Rossy Ogawa, Atsushi Onita, Mayu Iwatani, Gabe Sapolsky, and others.

NXT superstars launched "The Ricochet Family Fund," an auction fundraiser on eBay where fans can bid on items worn/signed by various NXT stars. All proceeds go toward Ricochet's mom and family.

Items include an event worn jacket from Matt Riddle, autographed and event worn boots from Candice LeRae, even worn gear from The Undisputed ERA, autographed items from Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa, an autographed and event worn shirt from Shayna Baszler and more.

The auction ends on Apr. 29.

The following night in Rochester, Minnesota, Jeff was in Matt's corner as Matt took on Jimmy Uso in singles competition. At last night's live event in Sioux City, Iowa, Jeff was not on the show and Matt teamed with R-Truth to take on The Good Brothers ...

It is unknown how severe the injury is to Hardy or how much time he will miss.

There has been a strong push within the WWE creative team to have the 2019 men's MITB briefcase holder come out of the whole process looking like a real star, according to @WrestleVotes.

There's a feeling backstage that the company has "completely blown" the winners and their cash-ins over the last two years. It sounds like they are looking to fix that this year.

What we do know is that tentatively the 6/7 Salt Lake City show was moved to 6/16 and the 6/8 Denver show was moved to 6/15. Those would be the dates they couldn't have U.S. shows is they are going to Saudi Arabia. The fact these moves have been made, but not announced, tells you they are pretty sure that Saudi show is on. The 6/16 Backlash show scheduled in San Diego is 6/16, but it is now no longer scheduled as a PPV, but will continue as a house show. There is talk the Backlash PPV will be on 6/23 which is currently listing shows in Spokane, WA or Abbotsford, BC. We were told it would most likely be in Washington, but it may not necessarily be Spokane.
Meltzer provided another update afterwards confirming Backlash now being held on June 23rd and in Tacoma, Washington.

I've had the feeling Mustafa Ali has a good shot to win MITB, but I think McIntyre and Corbin are up there too. Will be interesting to see what their plans are, as opposed to what actually happens.

McIntyre either wins it or he should ask for his release and good back to Impact or AEW

In response to the report that dubya dubya E is gonna make a star from the MITB winner the first guy that popped up in my mind was Almos. Drew Mac would be a great choice too but I personally see more in Andrade.
