In this interview Drew McIntyre says it's up to Tyson Fury for a match between them to happen: "First of all, I think we're talking about WWE. I think I'd be insane to get in the ring with possibly the best boxer of all time, certainly top five. The ball's in his court. I appreciate that my name is always in his mouth. He's got an obsession with Drew McIntyre, which is kind of weird. But I kind of like it at the same time. We've been going back and forth to each other nonstop for a couple of years. He's got our number. My focus is on Roman Reigns and the titles right now. But if he wants to do business, he knows our people. Give us a call."

Keith Lee won't rule out working a ROH match again: "Ring of Honor is something that I haven't seen since 2017. I'd be willing to have a match there under the right circumstances. There are quite a few (names) that are interesting, like Mr. Samoa Joe. He's a circumstance where I would consider him to be a bit of a mentor, especially from the business side of things, taught me a lot. For all intents and purposes, he's the reason that I ever took a chance going to the east coast. If it was not for his advice, him and Brian Cage, I never would have gone to the east coast. I never would have had that match with (Donovan) Dijak that kind of changed the trajectory of my career as a whole. I could have been just another dude stuck in Texas doing random stuff. There's something special about those three letters, especially when you come from it and it's helped build who you are. I'd be open to fighting there."

Tammy Sytch (Sunny) is set for a hearing on Friday, May 13th at 10 AM ET in the Circuit Court of Volusia County, Florida to determine whether or not she should be remanded back to jail until her trial for a fatal DUI. (PWI)

Tony Khan says he'd like to make Arthur Ashe Stadium an annual event: "It was something I kind of conceived before the pandemic. It wasn't that sophisticated of a process. I was Googling stadiums with a roof. The last thing I'd ever want is a weather delay, and I realized one of the best stadiums was right under our nose the whole time. This amazing venue, Arthur Ashe Stadium, and the USTA have been so great to work with, and I'm so excited to be able to say that we're bringing Grand Slam back to New York later this year, and it's going to be a tradition."

In addition Tony Khan confirmed trios titles are coming and Bret Hart won't be back.

In this interview Corey Graves talks about what he might do now that he's medically cleared in WWE: "Now what else can I do? Is there some other role? I went and got cleared in the event that the need arises for me to fight somebody in the ring. I'm medically ready. Not in ring shape by any means! Nothing catastrophic will happen if that goes down. Now I'm kinda just, I want to say at a plateau but I'm looking at what else there is I can do. What else can I put my hands on? Is it creative, is it business, there are so many different facets of this company that I've learned since getting hurt that I probably would have never experienced just as a wrestler. Learning about marketing, why television works the way it does, television rights, this whole different realm which is uber important to the business, but everyone's talking about what's your finish, that was a great bump, that was a great match. There's no shortage of new tasks for me to learn, I'm just at the point now to work out what that next step is."

Here Deonna Purrazzo talks about Mia Yim's return to Impact: "We've definitely been in the ring quite a few times before. I feel like this happens when you get released (by WWE) and you're thrown out there to see what you're going to do next. I've talked about IMPACT becoming a landing zone for so many people post-WWE and them thriving. I think Mia is going to fall into that category. Her debut was so great and so receptive. Everyone was so thrilled to see where she would land. On a personal note, I'm very happy it was IMPACT Wrestling."

Kevin Owens says he had no idea what to expect against Steve Austin: "It was very interesting for me as well because I really didn't know what to expect. That's the funny part. I knew he and I were going to be in the same ring, I knew we were going to talk some trash, obviously, and I had a pretty good feeling it was going to breakdown into a fight at some point, but I had no idea the scope of the fight. I didn't know. For it to all turn out the way it did, I really can't think of a better scenario. Everybody loved it so much, everybody watching it. More importantly, I speak for myself, but I think I can speak for him as well, the two people in the ring doing it had as much fun as everybody watching. That's really the best outcome possible."

Juice Robinson talks about renewing with NJPW: "If I was going to stay with New Japan, I needed to do it my way. That's what you're going to see. That's what you're going to hear. I now have the license to do this the way I want. I'm keeping the details private, but I'm here where I am supposed to be. I don't want to work somewhere else. I was about to, and I was ready to, but I didn't want to. New Japan is where I belong."

There appears to be some significant tension between Kota Ibushi and New Japan Pro Wrestling right now. Ibushi has been tweeting his frustrations and apparently referenced the fact that he and Kikuchi (their head of talent relations) aren't seeing eye to eye over the fact Ibushi worked a Just Tap Out show without getting NJPW approval first, and they retaliated by removing him from the New Japan Cup. There are other allegations I won't even go into but you can click the link to see more.
