Shingo TakagiFollowing Dominion last night, Shingo Takagi is your new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion of New Japan Pro Wrestling. He beat Kazuchika Okada with Last of the Dragon in a main event that went approximately 36 minutes. (NJPW)

Speaking on a live stream Tommy End f/k/a Aleister Black said his start and stop pushes in WWE weren't the creative team's fault: "Money in the Bank with AJ, when I stepped out of the dark and into the dark, that was the first time I did what I wanted to do. It got praised. Don't get mad at our creative. They try their absolute hardest and there are good people working there. I'm very thankful for our creative and have had a good relationship with Bruce Prichard. He tried to protect me in a lot of situations. He wanted to get me out of the room. The consensus was 'no one moves like him or has his intensity.' My style was a hybrid of traditional wrestling and new age striking. In the last five years, I've proven to be one of the most influential strikers of this generation and I will continue to do that."

Despite the fact it has been heavily rumored on social media following the latest wave of WWE releases, Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics debunked the WWE sale rumors by talking to five leading investors in WWE stock and finding that none are changing their holdings in preparation for a sale. There's no indication from the market nor any major volatility in the share price.

The lineup for Raw tonight is below. (WWE)

* Shayna Baszler meets Alexa Bliss and Lilly
* Contract signing between Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley
* Battle Royal for #1 contenders to RAW tag team titles: The Viking Raiders vs. The New Day vs. Lucha House Party vs. T-BAR & MACE vs. R-K-Bro

Matt Cardona made a surprise appearance at GCW to attack Nick Gage last night.

In this interview Chuck Palumbo talks about the tension between WCW and WWF after WCW was sold: "Now I know they're definitely buying us because Shane showed up. I know that, but I have no idea what's in store for us. I told other people, 'Am I going to have a job? If they do retain me, what are they going to do with me?' Now you have double the roster, and there's still only three hours of TV, let's do the math. Luckily, again, I was very fortunate that they brought me in right away and started using me. Lots of tension. WCW guys came in and made an attempt to befriend these guys, but a majority of them made it tough for us. They almost made it like we were coming into their house, and that this is their home. They took it personal. I think that if they had bonded with us and we had worked together, the business would not have went into the downfall it went into a few years later, because that buyout didn't work. For Vince to acquire that company, kudos to him, but the product they started putting out? The ideas of new blood and **sighs**. It could've been so much more. They had a great opportunity to do huge things, and it didn't work."

4:00 PM ET. Nikki Bella talks about why she thanked John Cena in her WWE Hall of Fame speech: "I didn't think anything about it because when you're in those moments at the Hall of Fame, you really look at your career and you're like, 'Who was there, who helped me along the way?' And so much of the time people will talk about themselves, and for me, I look at my career and I know that wasn't just because of me. It was Brie, it was the Bella army, it was the producers, all the people that believed in me, and John was a big part of that. He really helped me be that fearless side and showed me a part of that world that I never saw before. I think just because you have breakups or whatever it may be, doesn't mean you can't thank those people and just truly be so grateful for the help that they had."

Will Ospreay congratulated Shingo Takagi in the most backhanded way possible: "Congratulations Shingo, Google the word 'interim'. That's all you are."

Karl Anderson says released WWE wrestlers should hold back on the "thank you" tweets: "We know what it's like to get canned from WWE. Here's the advice I would say; enough of the 'thank you' tweets. Give me a fucking break. When you get canned, let it go. How about hashtag 'fuck off.' I don't think less than 24 hours after being fired... take a second to take a breather. Take it easy with the thank you bullshit within 24 hours. Breathe it in and take it all in for just one second. Put together a plan of attack before you start thanking all these motherfuckers that fired you."

Nick Aldis talks about the passing of Jocephus back in February: "You never really prepare for a situation like that. It's not something you ever think about when you're thinking of your career. Will I have to make a tribute show to a friend and a colleague who passed away? So, I think it was important we all got together and did what we thought would be something that reflected how much he meant to the whole team but also to our audience. As far as Aron (Stevens) being in the main event and having a title match, I thought that was the most fitting way to give tribute to Joseph and, in the end, it was a tough moment but also rewarding knowing we had done something for a guy who truly deserved it and passed away under freak circumstances. It was a congenital heart defect just so sad and unfortunate and undetectable or unpredictable. We felt like he deserved to be recognized, and that was the best way we felt we could do it."

5:00 PM ET. Eddie Kingston says AEW is different because a lot of the talent (including him) struggled on the indies: "If we did this for money, trust me, I would have been done a year and a half in. I had a good union job and was making $45-50 an hour. I would've just stayed there, but we love this. That's the difference between us and the competition. You can say I'm knocking them, but I'm speaking facts. They get people at the PC who have done other things prior to wrestling and they don't know anything about pro wrestling or the history. They're going to come into our business and our sport and tell someone who has been doing this almost 20 years that they're going to love pro wrestling. I'm like, 'fuck outta here.' Would you love pro wrestling if you're in the car for 18 hours to drive just to get ring time, get $15, and drive home? Then do it again the next day or next weekend? No, so don't tell me you love it. It's annoying. It's easy to love something when you're getting paid well to do it. Let's see what happens when you're not getting paid well and you're eating Ramen noodles and peanut butter, and you celebrate during the week when you get ground beef. That's why I love AEW because a lot of these guys, even the young guys, they struggled. You gotta struggle to go forward in life. Without struggle and sacrifice, there is no progress."

Speaking of AEW here's the updated lineup for Friday. (AEW)

* AEW TNT Championship: Miro vs. Evil Uno
* The Young Bucks and Brandon Cutler vs. PAC, Penta El Zero M, and Eddie Kingston
* Brian Cage and Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Hangman Page and Dark Order's 10
* Don Callis and Kenny Omega expose AEW World title conspiracy
* Cody Rhodes' special announcement

Mike Mizanin says he won't be out nine months but refuses to say exactly how long it will be.
