Speaking to Sunday Night's Main Event podcast, Dave Meltzer had this to say about Tony Khan's "big announcement" on Wednesday: "I heard the rumors of a New Japan/AEW show and the only thing I can say is I asked and it wasn't denied. It wasn't confirmed and they're not going to confirm to me the surprise. So, to me that leaves that one on the table as a potential surprise because if they are not doing that show, I believe I would have been told Wee're not doing that show.' So, I think there's smoke to that fire. The streaming deal, we know that he's working on that. Obviously, he's got to work on a distribution deal for Ring of Honor. They need new distribution to keep it going. So, I think that timing wise that makes the most sense of a story." (WO)

In this interview Gangrel says he's a fan of Edge's new look and attitude: "I love how he's got like a mixed Brood/Taker vibe with the raise of the chair and the fire. That was really cool. I am really happy for him, he's a really good dude. And from what I know of Damian Priest, all my interactions with him, a few conversations that I have had with him, he's a great dude. So, I think they deserve each other, in a good way, and I hope they do really good business, and I hope they do big things. I hope they get Rhea Ripley, and some really cool people in this faction, and do some really cool stuff."

Raw highlights and new WWE related videos are available below.

In this interview Mike Rotunda talked about the wrestling future of his sons Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas: "They're definitely not maybe done. I don't know, they're kind of got their foot in and going with a couple of different things, trying to see what's available. So, you know, maybe you'll see them back. Maybe you won't, I don't know yet, but I don't want to speak for them either because I know they're trying to reach out and get some different things going. I didn't push them to get into it. And I told them, I said, it's a hard business, you know, you're gonna have to go through a lot of shit. And of course, I think it's a natural thing with them. Their grandfather did it, their uncles did it, their dad did it. No matter what you try to tell them, they're gonna try to go do it. You know? And they did and they were both successful."

Alexa Bliss (Alexis Kaufman) is reportedly "frustrated" with the lack of creative direction for her character right now in WWE. (FF)

In this interview Eric Bischoff talks about the Steiner brothers messing with a referee in WCW: "I show up, I find a corner back away from everybody because I was intimidated, just wanted to keep my head down, keep my job, not upset anybody. I'm in there in the corner dressing getting ready and I look over, and the Steiner brothers are torturing this referee, I mean, torturing him. Stretching him, bending him, squeezing him, breaking him until they got tired of it, and they wrapped him up like a mummy in gaff tape and left him in the corner. I'm thinking to myself, 'This is going to be fun. I can't wait to work with these two guys.' That was my first impression of the Steiner brothers."

By at least one account WrestleMania 38 did 56.1 million viewers in India, which in a country of over a billion people is not an unreal possibility.

The final SmackDown rating was a 0.48 18-49 demo and 2.142 million viewers, down 20% and 4% from the previous week's 0.60 and 2.23 million viewers. AEW Rampage was down as well, doing a 0.22 18-49 demo with 482,000 viewers. That's a drop of 12% and 19.7% respectively from the previous week's 0.25 and 600,000 viewers. (Wrestlenomics)

Daniel Garcia on why he joined forces with Chris Jericho and not Bryan Danielson: "Every interview I saw of him Bryan's, he talked about how he wanted to be a in group with me, how he wanted to take me under his wing. Then the Jericho thing came about and I wanted to learn how to be a sports entertainer. I didn't want to learn how to be a good wrestler because I'm already a good wrestler. Now, I need to become a great sports entertainer, that's what Chris Jericho is teaching me. People online, they kept saying, 'I want to see you team up with the greatest of all time,' they saw the interviews and saw people saying, 'Daniel Garcia needs to be in a group with the greatest of all time.' I did it and I teamed with Chris Jericho."

Even though the Ormond Beach PD still doesn't have the toxicology report back from the accident she caused, Tammy Sytch (Sunny) is being sued by the estate of Julian L. Lasseter. They filed suit against Sytch and her boyfriend James F. Pente in the Seventh Judicial Circuit for Volusia County, Florida on April 12th. Lasseter is the man who died when her car rammed into his at high speed and his car subsequently crushed into the stopped vehicle in front of it. (PWI) I'm not sure what they can get from her in a lawsuit because I doubt she has much at this point, but if she's not already in jail for vehicular manslaughter they should at least try. Even if she is jailed, go for it.
