I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Friday, April 16, 2021.

This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.

(STINGER: WWE)

WWE with a mass release of talent on Thursday.

The biggest name on the list is Samoa Joe, who was on commentary at WrestleMania...but hasn’t wrestled a match since last October.

Also released Thursday...The IIconics - Billie Kay and Peyton Royce...Bo Dallas...Chelsea Green...Kalisto...Mickie James...Mojo Rawley...Tucker...and Wesley Blake.

On tonight’s SmackDown…a tag team title match. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode will defend against the Street Profits.

Plus, Rey Mysterio vs. Otis.

On Thursday’s NXT UK...

Isla Dawn pinned Emilia McKenzie...Kenny Williams beat Amir Jordan...and Nathan Frazer beat Saxon Huxley.

(STINGER: Impact)

New matches added to Impact’s Rebellion pay per view on April 25th…

Sami Callihan vs. Trey Miguel...in a Last Man Standing Match.

Violent By Design vs. Eddie Edwards, Willie Mack, James Storm and Chris Sabin.

Another name added to Rebellion - Mauro Ranallo. ESPN’s Marc Raimondi broke the news earlier in the day, and Impact later confirmed that Ranallo will be on the call for the main event Title vs. Title match between Kenny Omega and Rich Swann.

On last night’s Impact, there was a formal press conference to promote the fight - attended by Swann, Omega, Don Callis and even Tony Khan, who promised there will be a definitive winner at Rebellion.

(Tony Khan Rebellion Winner)

That clip from last night’s Impact.

Jazz’s retirement ceremony last night was interrupted by the Knockouts Tag Champs Fire ‘n Flava. That led to a very quick, impromptu match against Jazz and Jordynne Grace. Jazz pinned Kiera Hogan.

Fire ‘n Flava must now defend their titles at Rebellion against Grace and a mystery partner - and it won’t be Jazz. She said she’ll honor the stipulation from the Title vs. Career match she lost to Deonna Purrazzo.

Josh Alexander pinned TJP. Both of those men are already set to challenge X-Division Champ Ace Austin in a 3-way at Rebellion.

Brain Myers and Matt Cardona chose each other’s opponents on last night’s show. Myers beat Jake Something...but Cardona LOST...to Sami Callihan.

Also on last night’s show we got the official reveal that former Knockouts Champ Taylor Wilde is “returning soon” to Impact.

On Before The Impact, Havok beat Nevaeh. That was apparently the end of Nevaeh’s run with Impact.

(STINGER: ROH)

Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis-Bennett are sticking with Ring Of Honor. The company announced Thursday that both have signed new deals with the company.

This weekend’s ROH TV is the 500th episode - with Jay Briscoe vs. Mark Briscoe in the main event. Plus, Jonathan Gresham defending the Pure Title against Jay Lethal.

(STINGER: New Japan)

Tonight’s New Japan Strong has the semifinals in the U.S. version of the New Japan Cup tournament: Brody King vs. Lio Rush...and Hikuleo vs. FILTHY Tom Lawlor.

Also tonight.. The LA Dojo team of Karl Fredericks, Kevin Knight, the DKC & Alex Coughlin face off against Misterioso, Barrett Brown, Adrian Quest & Jordan Clearwater.

This update is brought to you by the Wrestling Mayhem Show. Check out the new episode right now wherever you get your podcasts.

(STINGER: AEW)

A pair of title matches are set for tonight’s Dynamite.

The Young Bucks defend their tag titles against Pac and Rey Fenix.

Darby Allin puts the TNT Championship on the line against Matt Hardy in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

Also tonight...Chris Jericho vs. FTR’s Dax Harwood with Mike Tyson as the special enforcer…

Red Velvet vs. Jade Cargill…

Kris Statlander’s first match since her ACL injury...against Amber Nova…

And Anthony Ogogo makes his AEW in-ring debut.

On last night’s Dark - KiLynn King beat Madi Wrenkowski…and Dark Order’s Alex Reynolds beat Ryan Nemeth.

(STINGER: WWE)

A new Cruiserweight Champion crowned on NXT. Kushida answered Santos Escobar’s open challenge...and pinned him with a roll up.

MSK successfully defended their NXT Tag Titles against Drake Maverick and Killian Dane. After the match, Dane and Maverick were attacked by Imperium’s Alexander Wolfe, Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner.

Isaiah SWERVE Scott beat Leon Ruff.

Mercedes Martinez beat Jessie Kamea, got her payoff from Robert Stone and declared she’s going after the NXT Women’s Champ Raquel Gonzalez. Gonzalez was also briefly confronted by Franky Monet - the former Taya Valkyrie.

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.

(Hero On Ring Return)

Hero on the new episode of the “ROH Strong” podcast.

(STINGER: WWE)

It’s Night 1 of WrestleMania tonight from Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium.

WWE’s Raw and SmackDown rosters back in front of LIVE fans for the first time in over a year. Around 25,000 fans are expected to be in attendance for both nights.

WWE made it official yesterday - the main event closing tonight’s card will be Sasha Banks defending the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair.

The opening match will be WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defending against Drew McIntyre.

Two heavily hyped in-ring debuts.

Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny, tagging with Damien Priest against The Miz and John Morrison...

And Omos, teaming with AJ Styles, to challenge Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston for the Raw Tag Titles.

Also tonight, Seth Rollins vs. Cesaro...

Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon in a Steel Cage.

And a Tag Team Turmoil Match - Natalya & Tamina vs. Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke vs. the Riott Squad vs. Naomi & Lana vs. Carmella & Billie Kay. The winner gets a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Titles held by Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler on Night 2 of Mania.

Expect to see Hulk Hogan and Titus O’Neil. They are the co-hosts of WrestleMania.

The kickoff show starts at 7PM Eastern. The main card begins at 8PM Eastern on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network everywhere else.

Here’s something to get your imagination running for tonight - Becky Lynch STRONGLY implied in a social media post Friday that she COULD show up for Night 1 of WrestleMania.

A lot Mania hype on last night’s SmackDown, but also TWO big matches:

Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode survived a FATAL 4-Way to retain their Smackdown Tag Titles.

Jey Uso won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal - last eliminating Shinsuke Nakamura.

Saturday is another busy day for the independent promotions in Tampa for WrestleMania week - including a handful of shows that will go head-to-head with Night 1 of Mania.

(STINGER: Impact)

We have an Impact Plus exclusive show this afternoon - Hardcore Justice - starting at 3PM Eastern. Here’s what’s on the card:

Jazz's CAREER is on the line as she challenges for Deonna Purrazzo’s Knockouts Championship.

A Hardcore War: Tommy Dreamer and THREE mystery partners vs. Violent By Design: Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner and Rhino.

A #1 Contender Knockouts Weapons Match: Alisha vs. Rosemary vs. Havok vs. Tenille Dashwood vs. Susan vs. Jordynne Grace.

X-Division Champ Ace Austin, TJP and Josh Alexander each must find a partner for a 3-way tag team match.

Brian Myers vs. Jake Something in a Hardcore Blindfold Match.

Shera vs. Hernandez in a CHAIRLY LEGAL Match.

And Doc Gallows vs. Black Taurus.

CMLL announced Friday that it’s parting ways with Bandido, who’s also signed with Ring Of Honor.

(STINGER: New Japan)

On last night’s New Japan Strong...FOUR first round matches in the U.S. version of the New Japan Cup tournament.

Brody King beat Chris Dickinson.

Kevin Kelly during commentary did acknowledge King and Dickinson’s new alliance in Ring Of Honor.

Hikuleo used a pre-match ambush to grab an early advantage over Fred Rosser, but that did not lead to an easy win. This was a hard-hitting contest that Hikuleo eventually won.

FILTHY Tom Lawlor choked out Ren Narita.

And Lio Rush beat Clark Connors.

Semifinals next week: King vs. Rush...and Hikuleo vs. Lawlor.

(STINGER: AEW)

AEW ran its first-ever non-televised event last night. And fans at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville got to see the AEW debut of Konosuke Takeshita. He tagged with Kenny Omega, Michael Nakazawa and the Young Bucks.

Takeshita is only 25 years old, but he’s already held multiple titles in his home promotion DDT Pro.

This appears nothing more than a short visit to the U.S. DDT Pro announced early last week that Takeshita would be away from the promotion this month. DDT Pro said he’ll return for a show in early May.

This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.

(STINGER: WWE)

Tonight’s SmackDown is the final stop before WrestleMania...and there are a couple Mania-worthy matches on tonight’s.

There’s a FATAL 4-Way for the SmackDown Tag Titles. Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode defending against...Rey & Dominik Mysterio...Chad Gable & Otis...and the Street Profits.

Also, the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal is on tonight’s SmackDown. 22 participants are announced for that match - including Shinsuke Nakamura, Jey Uso and King Corbin.

Night 2 of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver last night.

Kyle O’Reilly was battered, bruised, but victorious in his Unsanctioned Match against Adam Cole. O’Reilly wrapped his leg in a steel chain and then dropped it onto Cole from the top rope...while Cole was draped over an open, upside-down steel chair.

Cole appeared to have O’Reilly beaten with the Panama Sunrise earlier in the match. The only problem was that Cole deliberately knocked out the referee just moments earlier.

Karrion Kross reclaimed the NXT Championship he was forced to relinquish due to injury - beating Finn Balor last night. Kross is now an undefeated, 2-time champion in NXT.

Johnny Gargano needed not one - but TWO - Final Beats to pin Bronson Reed...and hold onto the North American Title.

Santos Escobar beat Jordan Devlin in a ladder match to unify both men’s Cruiserweight Championships.

We a have FIVE new matches announced for Impact’s Hardcore Justice. That’s an Impact Plus exclusive on Saturday starting at 3PM.

A Hardcore War 4-On-4 Tag Match - Violent By Design vs. Tommy Dreamer and three partners who have yet to be revealed. Eric Young’s crew took out WILDCAT Chris Harris on last night’s Impact.

Ace Austin, TJP and Josh Alexander also need partners for a 3-Way Tag at Hardcore Justice. Those three are also set for a 3-Way Singles match at the Rebellion pay-per-view...with Austin’s X-Division Title on the line.

Also added to Hardcore Justice…

Mahabali Shera vs. Hernandez in a Chairs Match.

Doc Gallows vs. Black Taurus.

AND Jake Something and Brian Myers in a Hardcore Blindfold Match. On last night’s Impact, Myers finally accepted Cardona’s challenge for a match...at Rebellion.

Impact was in its new Thursday night time slot last night...with AEW Champ Kenny Omega in the main event. He and the Good Brothers fell to Impact Champ Rich Swann, Willie Mack and Eddie Edwards.

Bayley was asked why she does NOT appear to have anything to do at WrestleMania.

(Bayley No Mania Match)

Bayley speaking with TalkSport’s Alex McCarthy.

(STINGER: AEW)

More than a year after the match was first mentioned, AEW will finally deliver “Blood And Guts” - The Inner Circle vs. Pinnacle...on Dynamite...at Daily’s Place...on Wednesday, May 5th.

Chris Jericho issued the challenge on last night’s Dynamite. Later, Pinnacle attacked Jericho backstage...and dragged him to the ring. The rest of The Inner Circle were locked in their dressing room.

Wardlow was looking to finish off Jericho when Mike Tyson entered the arena. He got some punches in on Shawn Spears. The rest of Pinnacle made a run for it....and then, Tyson and Jericho publicly made amends - following up on their brawl on Dynamite a little less than a year ago.

Tyson will be back on next Wednesday’s Dynamite as the special enforcer for a one-on-one match between Jericho and Pinnacle’s Dax Harwood.

The Young Bucks couldn’t pull the trigger during the 6-man tag team main event - Matt Jackson spared Kenny Omega multiple times...to the point that their partner Jon Moxley got sick of waiting and hit Omega with a pair of Paradigm Shifts. That’s when the Bucks turned on Moxley and finally sided with Omega and the Good Brothers.

Pac and Rey Fenix get their shot at the Bucks’ tag team titles on next Wednesday’s Dynamite.

Also next week, Darby Allin will defend the TNT Championship against Matt Hardy in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Allin had a successful defense last night against JD Drake.
