Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green have filed a trademark for a podcast named "Majorland." (FF)

In this interview Anthony Ogogo says he took a pay cut to wrestle for AEW: "I'm not even on a tier. I took a pay cut to do this. That's how much I wanted to do this. I took a massive pay cut to do this. I'm on a developmental contract. I might be their first developmental wrestler. As it happened, I just developed a hell of a lot quicker than anyone thought I'd develop. The development is over on Sunday when I pin Cody to the mat, 1-2-3. Actually, I'm not going to pin him. I'm going to spark him out. I'm going to knock his block off. When he's rendered unconscious, that's when my development ends."

5:00 PM ET. The entire WWE roster got this text yesterday: "Due to Budget cuts the following talent were released today. Braun Strowman, Lana, Buddy Murphy, Santana Garrett, Ruby Riott, and Aleister Black. - John Laurinaitis" (PWI)

6:00 PM ET. Aleister Black (Tommy End) on WWE rumors: "There are a lot of waves in WWE that you don't understand. Don't listen to anyone that says, 'Oh, Vince was never high on Aleister.' That's not true at all. What murdered me was the seven months at home. During those months, there were different reports like 'my NXT request got shutdown.' That's not true. It didn't get shutdown at all, it got praised. The thought was, 'I want to do it this way at first, if it doesn't work, I can always put you back in NXT.' I had a plans for that too. It wasn't shot down hard at all."

Drake Wuertz says he never called Ezra Judge "boy" at any time. Well even if he did, he'd still deny it right? Who knows what the truth is.

John Silver doesn't want any of the WWE releases to be the new Exalted One, noting they already "had the best" in Brodie Lee and wouldn't replace him with anybody else. Hear hear.

Everybody cut by WWE yesterday has the standard 90 day no compete. (PWI)

R-Truth talks about his music career: "I have a project coming out called Legacy. We don't know if it's a project, album, or what. We're still in that planning mode. I have 40 songs done. This pandemic has been a blessing in that I was able to record 40 songs. Now we're trying to strategically figure out how we're going to feed and market this. I have a song about the Bayou on there. I have a rock and metal song. I got a country song. All of it is fire. I'm hoping it'll be released in the next three months. That's what we're banking on."

Billy Corgan doesn't understand Braun Strowman's release: "Braun Strowman. If he was green in NXT, I'd be jumping all over it. There aren't a lot of big guys who have that level of ability. How do you let a guy like that out the door? I don't mean to be critical, I'm not making the business decision, but I don't know how you let a guy like that go. Ruby Riott, I think has a very bright future. Lana, holy cow, how do you let her go? I've seen Lana in person, behind the scenes, a truly beautiful woman and marketable to the nines. She's worked very hard, from what I've seen in public and behind the scenes, to really improve. I don't know how you let her go. I don't understand it, but I'm not making those decisions. When you look at that list, I was like, 'This is wild,' especially when things are heating up between AEW and WWE, at least in the public's mind. Maybe WWE doesn't feel that way. To dump key talents like that at this time seems like an odd decision."

Congratulations to Hangman Page and his wife Amanda, who are expecting their first child!

Shayna Baszler talks about intergender wrestling: "Intergender wrestling is an interesting topic and it always is. As a mixed martial artist and a fighter, I was the only female on my fight team for years for the majority of my career. I've even entered submission wrestling tournaments and wrestled in the men's division because the women in the women's division weren't as experienced, so I wanted to get my money's worth in this tournament. This is not new to me or anyone else who trains in that sort of martial art to understand that a woman can compete with a male. That's not a question and it's surprising to me that this day and age that's so hard for people to understand."

WALTER returns to NXT UK next week.

Alexa Bliss channeled her grief into productivity by raising $16,000 for a pig rescue charity in Larry-Steve's honor. Good for her (and for the charity).

Sonya Deville wants to do more for the LGBTQIA+ community: "I really just want to be a voice for the community in sports - specifically, in the WWE. I want to let people know that their sexuality doesn't define them and how they identify doesn't define them. And I'm a perfect example of it."
