(STINGER: WWE)

New matches announced...and a big change to another...for WrestleMania.

The showdown between The Miz and Bad Bunny will now be a tag team match. Miz and John Morrison vs. Bad Bunny and Damien Priest. The challenge was laid out by Priest after Miz and Morrison defaced Bad Bunny’s $3.6 million dollar Buggati.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles will be defended at WrestleMania. But first, we need a challenger. A Tag Team Turmoil match will decide that on Night 1 of Mania - Naomi & Lana vs. Dana Brooke & Mandy Rose vs. The Riott Squad vs. Tamina & Natalya. Those teams were announced on last night’s Raw. WWE’s website listed a fifth team - Carmella & Billie Kay.

Anyway, whichever team wins on Night 1 will challenge the champs, Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler on Night 2.

Raw women’s champion Asuka and her WrestleMania challenger Rhea Ripley were NOT able to coexist last night. They lost to a non-title match to the WWE women’s tag champs Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Ripley attacked Asuka during the match, allowing Baszler to PIN Asuka.

Drew McIntyre survived a final hurdle on his road to Mania, beating King Corbin. WWE Champ Bobby Lashley warmed up for their showdown with a non-title win over Cedric Alexander.

Xavier Woods rolled up AJ Styles for an upset win...and U.S. Champ Riddle pinned Mustafa Ali in another non-title match...

WWE Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremonies air tonight on WWE Network and Peacock starting at 8PM.

The Class of 2020 includes The nWo, The Bella Twins, JBL, British Bulldog, Jushin “Thunder” Liger and William Shatner. Titus O’Neill will receive the 2020 Warrior Award.

The Class of 2021 includes Kane, Rob Van Dam, The Great Khali, Molly Holly, Eric Bischoff and Ozzy Osbourne.

(STINGER: AEW)

A new match added to Wednesday’s Dynamite: Max Caster from The Acclaimed...vs. Hangman Page.

On last night’s Dark: Elevation...Caster used some distraction and a boombox to beat Dark Order’s Colt Cabana...and Page beat Bill Collier.

Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page beat Matt & Mike Sydal.

Plus, Michael Nakazawa got a singles match...and a win...over Vary Morales.

(STINGER: New Japan)

New Japan laying out its road map for the next two months.

The Road To Wrestling Dontaku begins Saturday. The full cards are out there, but here are the noteworthy matches.

The main event on Tuesday, April 20th is a NEVER 6-Man Tag Title match - Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii & YOSHI-HASHI defending against Bullet Club’s KENTA, Yujiro Takahashi & Taiji Ishimori.

On Monday, April 26th, two singles matches headline the show. Tetsuya Naito vs. Great-O-Khan and SANADA vs. Aaron Henare.

The first of the big Wrestling Dontaku shows is on Monday, May 3rd. Hiroshi Tanahashi defends the NEVER Title against Jay White...and Taichi vs. Tama Tonga in a Ladder Match with the Iron Finger From Hell suspended above the ring.

The following day, YOH challenges El Desperado for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title...and Will Ospreay defends the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against Shingo Takagi.

Whoever wins that match will defend the big belt against Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Grand Slam in Tokyo Dome...on Saturday, May 29th.

IWGP United States Champion Jon Moxley issued a challenge Monday. He wants his next title defense to be against...Yuji Nagata.

(STINGER: ROH)

This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.

(STINGER: New Japan)

Will Ospreay is the top man in New Japan. He defeated Kota Ibushi at Sunday’s Sakura Genesis show...to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

After his crowning moment, Ospreay issued a challenge to Kazuchika Okada. Okada answered the call to the ring, but before he could answer Ospreay...Okada was interrupted by Shingo Takagi, who also wants a shot at Ospreay.

Ospreay agreed to face Takagi first...then Okada.

Ospreay’s United Empire revealed a new member at Sunday’s show: Aaron Henare - the former Toa Henare. He teamed up with Great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb to defeat Tetsuya Naito, SANADA and Takagi. Henare pinned SANADA.

The Junior Tag Titles also changed hands at Sakura Genesis. Roppongi 3K dethroned El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru. YOH debuted a new finisher - the Direct Drive - to pin Kanemaru.

This the fifth Junior Tag Title reign for Roppongi 3K. But YOH - who just got back from an ACL tear - wants more. He’s got his eyes on Despy’s singles junior title.

Hiroshi Tanahashi and Satoshi Kojima beat Jay White and Bad Luck Fale. Tanahashi pinned Fale. Then, Tanahashi went after White after the match - locking him in the Texas Cloverleaf until White tapped. Tanahashi then accepted White’s challenge for his NEVER Title.

In the opening match, Zack Sabre Jr. pinned one half of the heavyweight tag champs, Tanga Loa, to win a 6-man tag.

After the match, New Japan Chairman Subabayashi took possession of the Iron Fingers belonging to ZSJ’s tag partner Taichi.

Hiromu Takahashi made an appearance at the top of the show, as he joined the commentary team. Takahashi is still out with a shoulder injury.

More news from Japan...

Stardom held a major show Sunday at Budokan Hall...where Utami Hayashishita fought off Bea Priestly’s challenge for the World of Stardom Title. Afterward, Priestly announced that the match was her last in Stardom..

In the main event, Giulia and Syuri won the Goddesses of Stardom Titles. They dethroned Maika & Himeka.

(STINGER: WWE)

A new match announced for tonight’s Raw - Xavier Woods vs. AJ Styles.

Also tonight…women’s champ Asuka teams up with her WrestleMania challenger Rhea Ripley...to face the WWE Women’s Tag Champs Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. That is a non-title match.

Plus, WWE Champ Bobby Lashley in a non-title match against his former Hurt Business cohort, Cedric Alexander...and Drew McIntyre vs. Baron Corbin.

WWE officially added a stipulation to the Intercontinental Title match on Night 2 of WrestleMania. It’ll be Big E defending against Apollo Crews in a Nigerian Drum Match - which is essentially “no rules”.

(STINGER: AEW)

Tonight’s AEW Dark: Elevation is promoting a DOUBLE main event - Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page teaming up for the first time to take on Matt & Mike Sydal...and Dark Order’s Colt Cabana vs. Max Caster from The Acclaimed.

Plus, Matt Hardy vs. Alan “5” Angels.

Also in action tonight, Hangman Page...Lance Archer...and Dr. Britt Baker.

(STINGER: Impact)

This week will see Impact Wrestling’s move to Thursday nights...and a new match for that show was announced Sunday - XXXL vs. Sami Callihan & “A Partner Of His Choosing”. The suspense surrounding this is whether Trey Miguel will tag with Callihan.

(STINGER: ROH)

We have a main event for the 500th episode of Ring Of Honor TV. It’ll be Jay Briscoe one-on-one against his brother, Mark Briscoe!

Also announced for that episode - Jonathan Gresham defending his Pure Title against fellow Foundation member Jay Lethal.

Before the 500th episode of ROH TV airs on television...it’ll be shown on Thursday, April 15th...as part of a 3-hour special on ROH’s free streaming channel on the STIRR and PLEX apps.

The new faction led by Brody King that was revealed at ROH’s 19th Anniversary show now has a name - Violence Unlimited.

It must be Mayhem Mania season!

Every year, we bring together fans, wrestlers and other folks. Our goal is to construct the BEST WrestleMania card that’s currently possible. Everyone under a WWE contract is eligible to use, as are those who are within the orbit of WWE’s influence. If Vince McMahon can do it, we can do it!

WeeLC!

Trish Stratus vs. Rhea Ripley

Grave Consequences

“War Of Hell” Match

Malcolm Bivens & Pat McAfee vs. R-Truth & John Cena

Punjabi Prison Match!

Bad Bunny vs. Pitbull

Piper Niven & Mick Foley vs. Robert Stone & Drake Maverick vs. Indi Hartwell & A-Train

We ended up with a very eclectic guest list:

Even more guests will be added following Friday’s episode of TALKING Mayhem Mania!

The final inmate count on SPACE JAIL is:

So there you have it, Mayhem Mania 2021 is in the books. As usual, it was a sometimes messy process, but in the end we got a really solid SUPER CARD. Thanks to everyone who played and everyone who followed along this year!

(STINGER: AEW)

TWO big returns from injury during the main event on last night’s Dynamite.

During the Arcade Anarchy match between Miro & Kip Sabian and Orange Cassidy & Chuck Taylor...Kris Statlander made a surprise return. She emerged from one of the arcade machines set up around ringside and took out Penelope Ford.

Later, Trent made an even more dramatic return...riding into Daily’s Place in his mom’s minivan. Sue was at the wheel. Trent helped turn the tide. Taylor pinned Sabian and the Best Friends reunited, and celebrated alongside Statlander, to end the show.

Two weeks after being laid out by MJF’s new crew, The Pinnacle...The Inner Circle returned with a vengeance. They stormed The Pinnacle’s dressing room - which was actually theirs first - and this was a rout. Santana & Ortiz battered and bloodied FTR...Sammy Guevara slammed Shawn Spears’ head in a door...and Chris Jericho dunked MJF’s head in a toilet.

The exhibition match between Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall ended in a violent split of the Nightmare Family. Several of Marshall’s students - Nick Comoroto, Aaron Solow and Anthony Ogogo - helped him beat down Cody, Dustin Rhodes, Arn Anderson and Lee Johnson. QT had even more planned with a steel chair, but Red Velvet ran out to save Cody.

AEW Champ Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers beat the Lucha Bros. and Laredo Kid. Omega pinned Laredo Kid with the One Winged Angel.

After the match, Jon Moxley strolled out to ringside...and the Young Bucks ran out to stand with him. It’ll be Mox and the Bucks vs. Omega and the Good Brothers on next week’s Dynamite.

Nyla Rose and The Bunny beat women’s champ Hikaru Shida and Tay Conti. The Bunny cracked Conti with a kendo stick to steal the win.

The AEW in-ring debut of Christian Cage was a decisive win over Frankie Kazarian.

(STINGER: WWE)

Two new matches announced - and details sorted out on a third - for next week’s NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

Added to Night 1 - Pete Dunne vs. Kushida.

They were part of a Battle Royal main event on last night’s NXT…to decide the participants and the order of entry for an Eliminator Gauntlet match on Night 1 of TakeOver.

LA Knight was the winner. So, he’ll enter the gauntlet match last. Isaiah SWERVE Scott and Leon Ruff will be the first two men in the ring - followed by Bronson Reed...Cameron Grimes will be fourth...with Dexter Lumis fifth...and Knight after that.

The winner of the gauntlet match on Night 1 of TakeOver gets a shot at Johnny Gargano’s North American Championship on Night 2.

Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell will challenge Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles on Night 2 of TakeOver.

We learned last night that Night 1 of TakeOver not only air live on USA Network, but will be streaming live on Peacock.

There were several vignettes during last night’s NXT featuring a dog that looks very much like one owned by Taya Valkyrie. The final vignette ended with the words “See you April 13th” and was signed “Franky”. April 13th is when NXT moves to its new time slot on Tuesdays.

Also on last night’s NXT…

Cameron Grimes distracted Roderick Strong with an old Undisputed Era armband...and that gave Grimes the opening he needed to take the win.

Grimes has been trying to use his vast wealth to acquire the rights to the Undisputed Era name and branding.

Strong was set to compete in the Battle Royal main event, but he left the building before that match simply saying he’s “done”.

Tian (TEE-ahn) Sha beat Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter - but this was basically Xia Li fighting them by herself. Mei Ying - the mysterious woman who sits on the throne - she didn’t even get up out of her seat until Carter got in her face. At that point, Ying quickly choked out Carter and blew smoke in her face. Then, Li finished off Catanzaro.

Today’s NXT UK has Pretty Deadly defending their tag titles against Kenny Williams & Amir Jordan

On last night’s MLW Fusion…Jacob Fatu got some outside help from Contra and was able to retain his MLW Heavyweight Championship against Calvin Tankman.

MLW announced a partnership with Japan’s Dragon Gate promotion with further details still to come.

(STINGER: New Japan)

New Japan is running the last “Road To” show for its Sakura Genesis tour this morning. The big show is coming up on Sunday - with Kota Ibushi defending the new IWGP World Heavyweight Championship for the first time...in the main event against Will Ospreay.
