Chris JerichoIn this interview Chris Jericho explains why Impact Wrestling invading All Elite Wrestling wouldn't work: "Our roster is jam packed as it is. And I think our involvement with Impact has been pretty much what it should be. I'm not saying this in an egotistical way, but AEW is at a completely different level than Impact is. So anything that we're doing with them benefits them a lot more than it benefits us, in my opinion. And I think the fact that they've had Kenny Omega there, they've had Private Party there. That's a bonus for them. Chris Jericho will never go to Nashville and work in an empty studio in front of somebody. There's just no reason for me to do that. If those guys came over to invade, who are they going to bring? If we needed to make it big, we could. But right now, our roster is so jam packed, and we're doing such a great job of creating our own stars as it is. You could always do an invasion at some point, but I just don't see why that really benefits AEW right now when we've got so much going on and so many of our own guys who are really breaking through to the next level. I want to keep the focus and spotlight on that." Here's another Jericho interview and (like DJ Khaled says) another one.

Speaking of AEW, Kenny Omega responded to Andrade challenging him for the AAA Mega Title: "I'm a busy guy, give me some time to think about it."

Here's the lineup for Raw tonight. (WWE)

* WWE Women Tag Team Championship Match: Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler vs. Naomi & Lana
* Raw Tag Team Championship Match: AJ Styles & Omos vs. The New Day
* Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre OR Braun Strowman

New WWE related clips are available below.

Here Ray Flores talks about how he got involved with MLW doing commentary: "Court Bauer is a guy that I used to work with at Combates Americas. I worked with Combates Americas years ago, and Court was brought on as a creative mind behind the scenes, a producer. So Court and I have stayed in touch, and I love what he's doing with MLW and that entire roster. I love the uniqueness. It's so fresh for sports entertainment. We were talking. I go, 'How do I get involved with MLW?' I reached out to him because I'm like, 'I love what you're doing.' I'm a pro wrestling guy at heart. Bottom line is this, I'm a pro wrestling guy at heart. I'm a big boxing guy. Chavez Sr. is like a god, but I was a little Hulkamaniac too. I'm not ashamed to say that. I grew up watching Gorilla Monsoon, and Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, and Gene Okerlund and Howard Finkel, guys that I looked up to in terms of how to broadcast not just sports entertainment wise but broadcast. Those guys were legends and will forever stand the test of time. So to be able to get the opportunity with MLW and bring my perspective and again, Court doesn't produce me. I'm like, 'What's your thought process?' He goes, 'Just be who you are,' and I'm like, 'Be who I am?' So I'll be honest, Court kind of prepared me for Triller, not that I'm dropping F bombs on MLW because I'm not, but he's just letting me be who I am and call matches, and (Yves) Saint Laurent is fantastic. Him and I have a unique and fun chemistry. I love the roster. I'm with them for over the next year, and I'm really excited about what's to come."

In this interview the former Sin Cara now known as Cinta de Oro says WWE doesn't allow Hispanic talent to succeed: "I never wanted to get into this conversation, but I feel like we need to now. It's true. With everything that is going on in the world, the Latinos or Mexicanos can never really join forces to do something powerful. It's always been other people. You can see what's happened nowadays when the Black Lives Matter movement started. It was great to see all them join together and do something positive for everybody, for the community. And when that happened everybody in WWE was a champion, right? Bobby Lashley, New Day, all those guys. Which is great, they're good friends of mine and I love them, but what about us? We want a shot. We want an opportunity. You realize certain things. Now that Andrade asked for his release, they kept Santos Escobar as champion last week. Now they took the championship off him, and they made Raquel a champion in NXT. Which is great, you know, I understand. But why do you have to wait until something like that happens to give an opportunity to the Latinos, to the Mexicanos, because something negative came out about your company? It's very obvious, and it's very sad for a lot of the boys that are there right now."

Last night/this morning Jay White beat Hiroshi Tanahashi for the NEVER Openweight Title.

5:00 PM ET. From MLW: "Major League Wrestling today announced that the Caribbean Champion Richard Holliday will be in action this Wednesday, May 5 at 7pm ET on MLW's flagship weekly series FUSION, available on YouTube, Fubo Sports, DAZN, beIN SPORTS and the Roku Channel." MLW is also planning a live event in Dallas on 9/11. (PWI)
