Today Shad Gaspard's wife Siliana released a statement on his passing: "Aryeh, myself, and the Gaspard and Chittick families would like to take this time to thank everyone for their prayers and support, as we mourn the terrible loss of our beloved Shad. Shad was our whole world and we were his. There are not enough words to describe what he means to all of us. He was our heart, our soul, our protectors, our warrior. He was a bright force of nature, who brought joy to many through his joyous and gracious nature. The outpouring of love from Shad's friends, colleagues and fans has meant more to us than you can even imagine. We'd like to once again thank the lifeguards, coast guard, divers, fire and police departments for their efforts. Shad was and will always be our real life super hero. Siliana Gaspard."

In this interview Lio Rush has no idea why he was called up to Raw: "So, we would get these random text messages of like, 'Hey, we need your information. You're needed for this thing.' Like, I don't know who it is, but we just get the messages and we'd give the information. I remember I was on 205 Live at the time. I was coming back home and I was just resting. I think it was a Saturday. I end up getting a text and it said, 'Hey, Lio. We need your information. You're needed for RAW on Monday.' I was looking at it, my wife was right next to me, and I was like, 'This must be a joke. Somebody's messing with me right now.' Then I got a notification on our little talent relations app and I saw that I was booked for Monday Night RAW and I was like, 'Oh, man, this is crazy.' But, they didn't tell me what I was doing. I just showed up in my suit, scared as hell. I set up my stuff in the locker room and I went in catering. I was just waiting around that day. I didn't know why I was there."

1:00 PM ET. According to this interview http://wincolumnsports.ca/conversations-with-love-76-tj-wilson-tyson-kidd/ Tyson Kidd tried to get cleared for a Royal Rumble appearance, but WWE wouldn't allow it. I'll side with them on this one given his career ending neck injury SHOULD have left him paralyzed or dead. He's lucky to still be with us today.

5:00 PM ET. Here's a new http://postwrestling.com/2020/05/21/exclusive-the-ojmo-talks-winning-the-british-j-cup-thoughts-about-nxt-uk-overcoming-stereotypes/ Michael Oku interview.

According to ShowBuzzDaily.com AEW and NXT went in completely opposite directions last night. Dynamite did 701,000 viewers (up from 654,000) and a 0.26 18-49 demo (up from 0.23). NXT did 592,000 viewers (down from 604,000) and a 0.13 18-49 demo (down from 0.15). That's also the lowest NXT has done since moving to USA Network.
