Randy OrtonRandy Orton apparently suffered a right shoulder injury power slamming Matt Riddle on Raw this week. (WO)

Konnan is feeling better after his bout with COVID-19 last month, but the downside is that he learned while in the hospital that he's going to ultimately need another kidney transplant. (WO)

Terry Funk also recently came down with a bout of COVID-19 (apparently from attending church services) but is "okay" and self-quarantining at home. (WO)

Japan has declared another "state of emergency" due to the pandemic which could affect New Japan Pro-Wrestling shows Tokyo or Osaka between April 29th and May 9th -- but luckily for them they currently don't have any shows scheduled in either city during that span. If the emergency is extended to other areas though, that could all change. (WO)

Speaking of NJPW here are the latest Road to Wrestling Dontaku results. (FF)

* The United Empire (Aaron Henare, Great-O-Khan, Jeff Cobb & Will Ospreay) def. Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, SANADA, Shingo Takagi & Tetsuya Naito)

In addition here are last night's New Japan Strong results. (NJPW)

New SmackDown, 205 Live and WWE related videos are available below.

FITE TV is no longer carrying Impact+. (WO)

AEW plans to increase their seating capacity for the Blood & Guts episode of Dynamite. (WO)

Because of a new deal WWE signed with Hulu, Peacock can stream 205 Live Friday nights, but Hulu gets exclusivity for 15 days afterward. (WO)

Mansoor keeps winning on 205 Live and Main Event because WWE wants to keep their partners in Saudi Arabia happy. (WO)

The former Peyton Royce has filed a trademark for "Cassie Lee." (USPTO)

Mongo McMichael has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. All of our best to him and his family & friends.

Chelsea Green talks about her post-WWE plans: "I was offered a movie role last year for an awesome movie that's shooting in Canada that had to shut down because of the pandemic. So there, is a blessing in disguise! That's something that may not have been allowed to do and now I was able to send them a text and say, 'I'm a hundred percent in!', and there is nothing stopping me."

Apparently John Cone has been UN-removed from his position as the Senior Manager of Talent Relations and is now back on the job, as well as still being a referee in WWE. (PWI)

Daniel Bryan was surprised to hear Roman Reigns booed at WrestleMania 37: "I thought for sure, Roman was going to get massive cheers because he's been the coolest TV character we've had in a long time. When he came out and got booed, I was like, 'Oh, that's a bit of a surprise.' I found that interesting. When I'm in there, I try to be in the moment and in the moment, I was trying to cater to the boos. Being 'Yes' Daniel Bryan and getting cheered, that's fine, but there's just something about being a bad guy, but everyone likes to be the bad guy because it's the most fun."

The latest Impact Wrestling did 145,000 viewers (up from 132,000) with a 0.05 18-49 (up from 0.04). (SBD)
