Bronson Reed pinned Austin Theory to win the 8-person mixed tag main event.

Roderick Strong handed in his paperwork to Regal...and is apparently resigning from NXT.

There was a big mistake during last week’s WWE Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremonies. The legacy induction video for Ethel Johnson...showed footage of another wrestler.

WWE also referred to Johnson as the first African American female wrestler, when her distinction was being the first Black female wrestling champion.

Johnson’s family told filmmaker Chris Bourneau they’ve been in contact with WWE and were promised corrections will be made. Johnson’s family also said they did not know she was being inducted until the ceremony aired.

Some new details on the toll that storms took on WWE’s production team during WrestleMania weekend. WWE Senior Vice President Duncan Leslie told Sports Video Group “some gear was compromised”, but their crews were ready with spares.

Tonight’s MLW Fusion has THREE title matches: Alex Hammerstone defends the National Openweight Championship against Mil Muertes. Los Parks put their Tag Titles on the line against the Dirty Blondes. Plus, the Caribbean Championship on the line - Richard Holliday facing a challenge from Gino Medina.

Chris Hero has not wrestled since March of LAST year - deciding to stay on the sidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic, but he sounds like he’s growing more anxious to get back in the ring.
