EC3 is hospitalized. He revealed that Wednesday in an Instagram post. He said he’s been in the hospital for 5 days and expects to remain there for a bit longer. EC3 said the issue is “an infection (he) neglected proper care for”...and he will heal.

EC3 is set to headline a “Free The Narrative” pay per view event...in a match against Matt Cardona...coming up on Thursday, May 27th.

(STINGER: Impact)

Tonight’s Impact is the last stop before Sunday’s Rebellion pay per view - and the big Title vs. Title main event between Kenny Omega and Rich Swann. We’ll get some final words from both men.

Also, we’ll see the Good Brothers vs. Decay...Eddie Edwards vs. Eric Young...and Shera vs. Jake Something.

(STINGER: AEW)

A pair of title matches on last night’s Dynamite...

Hikaru Shida pinned Tay Conti to retain her AEW Women’s Championship. Dr. Britt Baker was out after the match to reveal SHE is now on top of the rankings of contenders for Shida’s title.

In last night’s main event...Darby Allin held onto his TNT Championship. He used the Last Supper to hold down Jungle Boy for the pin.

During the match, Sting traded punches with Luchasaurus...and that tussle spilled down one of the entrance tunnels.

After the match, Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky ran out to beat up Allin and Jungle Boy. Page hit Allin with the Ego’s Edge. Lance Archer came out. Page and Sky beat him up too. Sting returned and that was enough to get rid of Page and Sky..

The show opened with Hangman Page SUBMITTING Ricky Starks - cinching up his head and ankle to get the tap out.

Earlier in the match, Starks under-rotated while flipping out of a German suplex and landed on the back of his neck. Starks later tweeted that he’s “good”.

Team Taz jumped Page after the match, but Dark Order quickly ran out for the save.

Penta El Zero Miedo beat Trent. Penta’s translater Alex Abrahantes got physically involved in this match - taking advantage of a distracted referee...and hitting Trent in the head with a microphone, allowing Penta to finish him off.

QT Marshall pinned Billy Gunn. This was a wild one. Marshall’s student Nick Comoroto brawled with Gunn’s sons at ringside. As that was happening, Anthony Ogogo snuck out...and one punch to the midsection of Billy Gunn led to a Cutter from QT...and the pin.

Marshall was looking for more after the match - but he was run off by Dustin Rhodes, who was armed with a bull rope. Rhodes settled for smashing a wooden chair over the head of Comoroto.

Christian Cage hit the Killswitch and pinned Powerhouse Hobbs.

The Elite spent most of the night in their new personal trailer. So, of course, Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston showed up and rammed it with a pickup truck.

(STINGER: WWE)

WWE will report its first quarter earnings today. There will also be a conference call starting at 5PM Eastern with Vince McMahon, Nick Khan and others addressing investors.

Moustache Mountain reunites on today’s NXT UK. Tyler Bate and Trent Seven team up to face Noam Dar and Sha Samuels.

Also on the show...Joe Coffey vs. Eddie Dennis.

Any comeback plans for Ronda Rousey in WWE will have to wait. On Wednesday, Rousey announced she’s pregnant. She and her husband Travis Browne said the due date is in September.

(STINGER: New Japan)

A stipulation was added to the upcoming match between Zack Sabre Jr. and Tanga Loa. If Sabre wins, he and Taichi get a tag title shot against the Guerillas Of Destiny. But if Tanga Loa wins, Sabre and Taichi can never again challenge for those titles.

That match is at the Wrestling Dontaku show on May 3rd.

(STINGER: ROH)

Ian Riccaboni confirmed a report by Fightful that he re-signed with Ring Of Honor. Riccaboni said he signed the deal “during the early stages” of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Major League Wrestling’s Court Bauer delivering some news on last night’s Fusion.
