AEW/MLW/TNA
It was clarified to Fightful that Jon Moxley is technically not a trios champion unless he wins this week on Dynamite.
AEW were really happy with AEW Collision this past week, as well as the viewership that followed.
To elaborate on our story that TNA had more unannounced signings, we’re told that there are at least three international signings under contract.
Satoshi Kojima had a benign tumor removed from his head last week, MLW confirmed. We’re told he’s okay.
WrestleMania Week and WWE
The NXT Stand and Deliver call time is 5 AM local time for NXT talent.
WWE has a number of additional brand deals they'll be announcing. They've already revealed the Mattel renewal, Topps/WWE patch plans, and Fanatics/Wheatley Cody Rhodes podcast deal.
Quite a bit was cut from the Women’s Tag Team Turmoil match on Smackdown, while the match was actually happening.
A number of NXT talent aren't required to get into Las Vegas until Friday.
Those that we spoke to about the WrestleMania Roast say that it may emerge for viewing at some point, but that running it live was a bit of a risk.
There are a ton of placed WrestleMania ads and references in Vegas. A WWE Title on the shoulder of Caeser at Caeser's Palace, a "welcome to WrestleMania Weekend" and title under the lion at MGM Grand, a ton of signage at the Las Vegas Airport, a title belt on a statue outside the Omni.
The "Welcome to Las Vegas" signage is also playing John Cena's theme at times in the Las Vegas Airport.
WWE also designed custom Las Vegas side plates for some of the promotional imagery for WrestleMania on title belts.

2025-04-16 05:07:19 +0000 UTCThe NXT call time is finally revealed, and is as awful as feared. Good lord!!

2025-04-16 01:39:48 +0000 UTCAll different times. All female. I'd reveal them if I could

2025-04-15 23:21:28 +0000 UTCAny idea on when the 3 TNA signings will be revealed/Debut?And if they are Male or Female talents/where they are from

2025-04-15 20:24:20 +0000 UTCJuice was out with an injury when BC Gold won the titles. That isn't the case with Moxley. Mox was healthy when The Death Rider's won the titles and has remained so when Pac got hurt. To me the two situations are not the same.
Sean Martin
2025-04-15 19:56:25 +0000 UTCBC Gold got stripped and had to win the titles while they were vacant with Jay White, which would have counted as a 2nd title reign... my guess is that isn't the case here, so no continuity??
