In this interview Alberto El Patron claims he's facing Andrade in July: "For the first time, they are going to see what people have been asking for for a long time, Andrade against Alberto del Río, I don't think they had ever sent a poster like this to Texas. We will also have Kalisto and Gold Ribbon against the Son of Two Faces and the Son of Dr. Wagner. Also going to be Sexy Dulce, Blue Demon Jr., Primo and Épico Colón. Nación Lucha Libre we return, everything that will be the production of the second season is well advanced, we have already closed agreements with television and sponsors. We were thinking of recording the first week of May but we can't. We are going to produce the second season behind closed doors. We have all the Colóns, La Máscara, Cinta de Oro and Kalisto."

Via social media Sami Zayn claims he'll do a run-in on Logan Paul's boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.

The former Billie Kay has filed a trademark on the name "Jessie McKay" -- which is close to her real name of Jessica McKay but still sounds close enough to her WWE name for people to make the connection. Anthony Ogogo also filed one for his nickname of "The Guv'nor." (FF) 'ELLO GUV'NOR!

AJ Styles says he and Omos have been off TV because they got sunburned partying in Nigeria.

Charlotte Flair says she doesn't need a championship to be a champion. She also doesn't need to be on TV for me to know she's a wrestler in WWE. I'm not being a smartass here, I'm just using the same logic she does. She can go away and still be a star. She might even be a bigger one if she actually goes away long enough to make us miss her.

5:00 PM ET. John Cone is reportedly now "second in command" to John Laurinaitis in Talent Relations, and with Johnny Ace's increased role there, Jason Jordan has stepped up in his stead as Lead Producer in WWE. (PWI)

WWE would like to go back to touring again this summer, pandemic permitting, and they have "tentative plans" for a few live events to test the waters down the road. (PWI)

Here Carmella talks about the booking of the women's division on Raw: "Even, myself, I would sit at home and watch Raw and it would be 10 p.m. before I would see a woman on the show. It's like, 'this is a three-hour show. What the hell?' Even if I'm just a fan, which I am. Like if I didn't work at WWE and I was just sitting at home watching, I want to see the women. That's why I tune in. If I'm waiting until 10 p.m. to see a girl, it's like, 'what the hell?' That's not okay for little girls at home or whoever is watching waiting for the women. It just feels like oh, now, there's only a focus on maybe two women or one women's storyline. Like you were saying back when you were there, we had 3 women's storylines on a 2-hour show and that was when I was still with James [Ellsworth], so we know it's a possibility. We know that they're capable of doing that. I think sometimes there's this weird shift and people kind of forget. We need to remind them, no. We are a big part of the show. We don't have to have matches every week, we can do promo segments or backstage segments, even a 30-second insert into the show, just to show hey, here she is. She's represented on the show. Then, if people are talking about it, maybe next week we give her a little bit of a longer segment because people want to see that. Whether it's me, or whoever it may be."

Honestly at this point even if he's right (and given the coverage of WWE over the years stories like these hold water to a large degree) Bret Hart seems to be fixated on saying Triple H cut down every star who threatened his spot and in this case it's Ken Shamrock: "I always thought he was someone who could've been a way better pro wrestling star than what they allowed him to be. To be honest, I think Triple H didn't like him, mostly because he was connected to me. But Triple H I remember didn't like him, and I remember Triple H was working with him a lot, was always criticizing him and talking about him. I think that was one of the guys that stabbed him in the back a lot."

A preview for tomorrow's New Japan on Roku is below.

Despite the concerns over Turner signing a NHL deal, Tony Khan has reaffirmed that Wednesday nights are "our spot and our home" for AEW Dynamite. Speaking of AEW here's a new Shawn Spears interview.

In case you were wondering why Drake Wuertz f/k/a Drake Younger has so much heat in WWE, here's a transcript of his anti-mask, QAnon conspiracy theory remarks at a Seminole County Board of Commissioners meeting. He has apparently "subdued" his anti-mask remarks and alt right remarks since returning to the Captiol Wrestling Center, but a lot of positions that he used to hold are no longer his. Wuertz was considered for a timekeeper role (not the ceremonial role - actually timing out the show for broadcast) in NXT but that role went to Scott Armstrong (Road Dogg's brother). He was also not given the role in 205 Live despite being considered for it. (FF)

Last night's NXT did 744,000 viewers, down from 841,000 last week. The 18-49 demo slipped from 0.23 to 0.22. (SBD)
