In this interview Britt Baker says Chelsea Green fooled her with a worked injury: "Yeah, because she worked all of you idiots. No, actually - so I'll be honest with you - that night, it wasn't until 1:00 am that I looked at my phone and I saw on Twitter, 'Chelsea Green broken wrist injury,' and I checked my group chat with Chelsea and Deonna and I had no text. I was so upset 'cause I was talking to my boyfriend, I said, 'Wait, Chelsea broke her wrist again. Wait, they didn't even tell me. Are they mad at me? What's going on?' Then I was like, 'Guys, what's going on?' They're like, 'Britt, it's not real.' I'm said, 'Oh, my God. I'm an idiot.' So I got worked, too. She really had the last laugh there 'cause she got so much hate over an injury. That's so disrespectful. We put our bodies on the line. If somebody gets hurt, no matter whose fault it is - somebody is hurt. Someone is injured. Especially when it's a broken bone, why are you trolling somebody over a broken bone? Then at the end of the day it was a joke anyway." Here's another Britt Baker interview.

In this interview Gangrel says there's nothing left for him to do in pro wrestling: "Nothing else I want to do in wrestling. I just want to continue to train, and be respected as a trainer. Maybe not stay in the ring too long, where I am not respected as a wrestler anymore. But it's mostly amongst the peers, a good relationship, and respect amongst the guys that I worked with in my generation. I hope to have the same type of relationship with the younger generation too. To bridge that gap with the older school and this new generation. I believe all of these worlds can get along, they're both amazing worlds. I loved what I've watched, and what I was a part of. Just because I don't do flips and all this insane stuff, because I don't even have that athletic ability, to be honest, I couldn't do it. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, and watching it, and I don't think that there is a place."

Following her marriage to Ryan Cabrera, Alexa Bliss (real name Alexis Kaufman) has legally changed her last name to his.

Pat McAfee is in talks with Amazon to potentially join the Thursday Night Football broadcast team and perhaps even bring his Pat McAfee Show to Prime Video.

Josh Alexander talks about a potential match with Steve Maclin: "There's a lot. I could take that title for sure. Yeah, but like when I said that this whole locker room has a chip on their shoulder, I mean it. If you would have asked me this question 3 months ago, Tasha Steelz would have been one of the first people I said, because I know how good she is. I know what she's capable of and now, everybody's seeing it as Knockouts Champion and stuff like that. But like, from all the way down, man, Steve Maclin is somebody that sticks out my mind, as somebody that is in the X-Division that is probably teetering on his way getting towards the heavyweight division that I could see on my radar in the future and stuff like that. Just the stuff that he's been turning out since he showed up in IMPACT. He's really shown everybody this identity that I don't think anybody saw when he was in NXT and WWE before so yeah, there's a long list."

3:00 PM ET. To the surprise of no one Steve Austin says most of what he hosed Vince McMahon and The Rock down with in the beer truck was water.

4:00 PM ET. Lady Frost says she'll be out of action next month for a minor surgery.

Tony Khan on AEW & NJPW working together for a PPV: "It would have been unfathomable to collaborate on a pay-per-view when AEW first started, but a lot has changed since then in the world of wrestling. I believe we've earned their trust. We started working closely together last year. The more we've collaborated, the better the relationship has become and the more trust we've built. It's culminating at this huge event on pay-per-view with the stars of AEW and the stars of New Japan Pro-Wrestling colliding at Forbidden Door."

6:00 PM ET. This week's Dynamite did 930,000 viewers, down from 977,000 viewers last week, but still at the same 0.37 18-49 demo even going against the NBA Playoffs. (Wrestlenomics)

Kyle O'Reilly talks about his dream match: "A guy who I've wanted to wrestle my entire career is Bryan Danielson. I broke in, in '05 and he, at that time, was having this epic run with the ROH Title. He inspired me to want to make it to ROH. He was going over to Japan and making a living there, so that inspired me to want to follow that path. He always worked a very similar hybrid style, as you put it, which I totally agree with that definition of it because it's very much a hybrid style. It's whatever you want it to be. It's kicks, it's strikes, submissions mixed with professional wrestling, which is a style of its own. Certainly with Danielson. And now he's teamed up with Mox, I think it'd be an amazing tag match as well. There are a ton of guys in AEW I'd really love to wrestle. I think it's a very deep roster, so there's no shortage of dream matches from where I'm standing."

NJPW President & CEO Takami Ohbari talks about working with AEW: "The theme of our 50th anniversary year has been not just to celebrate alongside our fans, but to give something back to everyone who has supported us over the decades. Especially as we bounce back from the effects of the global pandemic, I feel we really have to go the extra mile. It's on us to make those dream matches and situations come true, to bring the power of professional wrestling to the people, and emerge into a bright new era. At this point in time, with AEW and their tremendous talent getting increasing notice around the world, including among Japanese fans, they make the ideal partner for us to do just that and to unite fans worldwide."
