I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Monday, March 22, 2021.
This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.
(STINGER: WWE)
Andrade is apparently getting what he wants.
WWE announced Sunday night that it’s come to terms on his release.
Andrade was a former United States and NXT Champion, but he hadn’t appeared on WWE TV since last October.
Roman Reigns is still the Universal Champion, but his win over Daniel Bryan at Fastlane was FAR from conclusive.
The end of last night’s main event saw the referee knocked out, putting the special enforcer Edge in the position of officiating the match. Bryan fought off a steel chair attack by Jey Uso. Then, went to hit Reigns, BUT Reigns and Bryan hit Edge instead.
Moments later, Bryan got Reigns in the Yes Lock. Reigns was tapping, but Edge didn’t bother checking on Reigns. He just hit Bryan with the chair - hit Reigns too - and then, walked out. Reigns crawled on top of Bryan...a backup referee ran out...and Reigns got the pin.
The Fiend is BACK. He emerged in the flesh for the first time since December to help Alexa Bliss defeat Randy Orton.
Before Bliss even made her entrance, Orton coughed up some BLACK GOO!
After the bell rang, Bliss conjured a wall of flames...and lured Orton around the ring, where a lighting rig nearly fell on him. Back in the ring, Bliss shot a fireball at Orton. It didn’t do much damage. But THEN, a hand reached up through a hole in the ring - followed by more flames!
The Fiend then emerged from the hole, sporting a new, charred look that calls back to last December, when Orton lit The Fiend on fire. Anway, The Fiend hit Sister Abigail...and Bliss PINNED Orton.
Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are still the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Dissension between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair cost them the match...as Baszler rolled up Belair for the pin. After the match, Banks chewed out Belair and slapped her in the face.
There was a confusing ending to the Intercontinental Title match between Big E and Apollo Crews. Big E appeared to roll up Crews for the pin, but Crews just kept beating up on Big E for a little while longer.
Riddle retained his United States Championship by pinning Mustafa Ali. After the match, Ali berated Retribution...and paid the price for it. Reckoning and Slapjack walked out on him...and then, T-Bar and Mace hit Ali with a double chokeslam.
Drew McIntyre beat Sheamus in a hard-hitting No Holds Barred Match.
Seth Rollins pinned Shinsuke Nakamura.
The match between Shane McMahon and Braun Strowman announced on last Monday’s Raw did NOT happen. Shane claimed he suffered a knee injury during training. So, Strowman beat Elias instead.
The 24/7 Championship changed hands at Fastlane. R-Truth briefly lost it to an Old Spice pitchman. Truth quickly got his baby back afterward.
Tonight’s Raw is promoting an appearance by Rhea Ripley
The NXT Championship will be defended in the main event of Night 2 of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver...coming up on Thursday, April 8th...exclusively on Peacock.
(STINGER: AEW)
AEW is promoting a “triple main event” for tonight’s Dark: Elevation: LEGIT Leyla Hirsch vs. Ryo Mizunami...Orange Cassidy vs. Ryan Nemeth...and Ethan Page vs. Alan “5” Angels.
(STINGER: New Japan)
Will Ospreay pinned Shingo Takagi on Sunday to win the New Japan Cup tournament. Ospreay’s win means he will challenge Kota Ibushi for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at the Sakura Genesis show on April 4th.
Ospreay and Ibushi were face to face at the end of Sunday’s show. That’s when Ospreay shockingly delivered a no-look cutter to his girlfriend Bea Priestley.
(Ospreay Attacks Priestley)
That clip from New Japan’s social media.
Sunday’s show opened with the return of YOH. He’s been out with a torn ACL since last July. YOH said he and his Roppongi 3K teammate SHO want a shot at the Jr. Tag Titles - currently held by El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru.
Kamille delivered a pair of spears and pinned Thunder Rosa.. to become the #1 contender for Serena Deeb’s NWA Women’s Title.
The show also saw the NWA debut of former TNA Knockouts Champion Taryn Terrell...who declared she also wants a shot at Deeb.
Trevor Murdoch used a Sunset Flip to pin Chris Adonis...and retain his National Heavyweight Championship. Adonis attacked Murdoch after the match.
The Pope retained his NWA TV Title...after his defense against Thom Lattimer ended in a time limit draw.

I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Sunday, March 21, 2021.
This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.
(STINGER: New Japan)
New Japan’s show on Saturday was interrupted...by an earthquake.
A magnitude 7.0...centered just over 30 miles northeast of Sendai...where the show was held.
No major damage was reported. There were some minor injuries.
In the arena in Sendai, the quake happened during a match. It shook video cameras and rattled lighting fixtures.
The match immediately came to a halt. There was a 20 minute delay as the safety of the arena was confirmed.
The semifinal matches in the New Japan Cup went on AFTER the earthquake delay.
In the main event, Shingo Takagi pinned EVIL. Will Ospreay exploited a leg injury to David Finlay to punch his ticket.
The tournament final between Ospreay and Takagi is the main event of Sunday’s show at the same arena that hosted Saturday’s. It’s a rematch of the 2019 Best Of The Super Juniors final, which was won by Ospreay.
Also on Sunday’s card...Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi & Kota Ibushi will team up against BULLET CLUB’s Jay White, Bad Luck Fale & Chase Owens.
Okada, Tanahashi & Ibushi were victorious in a 6-man tag Saturday - the match that was interrupted by the earthquake. There was some tension between all three men during the match.
(STINGER: WWE)
WWE presents its Fastlane pay per view tonight.
Apollo Crews challenges Big E for the Intercontinental Championship.
Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defend the WWE Women’s Tag Titles against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.
Mustafa Ali gets a shot at Riddle’s United States Championship.
Also being promoted for tonight - Randy Orton going one-on-one with Alexa Bliss.
Drew McIntyre vs. Sheamus in a No Holds Barred Match.
And Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura.
WWE’s website no longer has any mention of a match between Shane McMahon and Braun Strowman, which was announced during Monday night’s Raw.
Fastlane is the first big test for the WWE Network on Peacock, its new streaming home in the United States. Subscribers still have the option to watch on the “original” network. It’s still up and running through April 4th.
A title match announced Saturday for NXT’s big event during WrestleMania week. Io Shirai will defend her women’s title against Raquel Gonzalez on Night 1 of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. That will be broadcast on the USA Network on Wednesday, April 7th. Night 2 is exclusive to Peacock.
WWE is promoting that Rhea Ripley will appear on Monday’s Raw.
The NWA returns to pay per view today with Back For The Attack, starting at 4PM Eastern. Three title matches are on the card:
Nick Aldis is defending the Worlds Heavyweight Championship against Aron Stevens in the main event.
Trevor Murdoch defends his National Heavyweight Championship against Chris Adonis.
And The Pope puts the NWA TV Title on the line against Thom Lattimer.
Also on the card...Kamille vs. Thunder Rosa - The winner is the #1 contender for Serena Deeb’s NWA Worlds Women’s Championship.
Plus, Kratos vs. Tyrus...and a 4-Way involving Jax Dane...Crimson...Jordan Clearwater...and Slice Boogie.
The show will emanate from the same Atlanta studio that hosted the tapings of NWA Powerrr.

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!
If you’re just tuning in, here’s how we got to this point.
There are two “tiers” to Mayhem Mania. The 8-match “undercard”, where our players create and make changes to matches, and the SUPERCARD. To reach the SUPERCARD, a match must survive three rounds on the “undercard” without being altered in any way. So far, only one match has made it.
MAYHEM MANIA 2021 SUPERCARD
That’s a pretty darn good match, but we still have a lot of work to do.
Not everyone is eligible to use in Mayhem Mania. They must be under a WWE contract or otherwise within WWE’s orbit of influence. Also, everyone comes in their current physical/contractual/etc. state (We are ignoring COVID-19 diagnoses because this is supposed to be a fun diversion, not a reminder of the terrible things happening around us.). Simply put, if Vince McMahon can’t do it, you can’t do it!
Other wrestlers are not eligible to use because one of our players has sent them to SPACE JAIL.
Every week we spin our prize wheel to give one of the SPACE JAIL inmates a chance to escape, and we had an escape just before Round 8. Shane McMahon is now OUT of SPACE JAIL!
5 players were invited onto the Wrestling Mayhem Show for the latest round of Mayhem Mania 2021. Each can make ONE of the following changes to our card:
– SWAP one wrestler or team with one in another match on the card or replace them with a wrestler or team not currently on the card
With all that business out of the way, here’s how things went down during Round 8 of Mayhem Mania.
Move #1 (by Chad The Shad)
Move #2 (by Bobbyfjtown)
Move #3 (by Alex Kahrs)
Move #4 (by Tina Keys)
Move #5 (by Honey Badger)
Round 8 is in the books, and we have FOUR newly created matches on our “undercard”
Alexa Bliss & Bray Wyatt vs. Taya & Johnny Mundo vs. Rhea Ripley & Aleister Black
Legado Del Fantasma vs. Breezango & RJ City
Sasha Banks vs. Meiko Satomura
Keith Lee vs. Pete Dunne vs. Cesaro vs. WALTER
Here are the four matches that survived the round without being altered in any way.
Randy Orton vs. Papa Shango
Drew McIntyre vs. Adam Cole
Cameron Grimes vs. Xavier Woods
Kushida vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Elias vs. Roman Reigns
Alex Kahrs’ match did not survive the round. So, he’ll be invited back next week under the application of the “Alex Kahrs Rule”.
We have only one “normal” week left during Mayhem Mania 2021. The grand finale, Patreon In The Bank, is coming up on Tuesday, March 30. ONLY Patreon supporters of the Wrestling Mayhem Show will be invited to play during that round. If you want in, head to patreon.com/wrestlingmayhemshow. Your support will help the show and get you in on the fun.
Thanks for enjoying Mayhem Mania!

A special welcome to those of you listening on TheWrestlingRevolution.com. If you want to bring our updates to your website...email us: [email protected].
(STINGER: WWE)
WWE has set a new date for the sale of tickets for WrestleMania. They’ll go on sale to the general public...Friday morning at 10AM Eastern.
There will also be an exclusive presale for fans who register online. That starts THIS MORNING at 10AM.
The Tampa Bay Times reports capacity is set at 25,000 for each of the two nights - about the same as last month’s Super Bowl...and health and safety protocols will be similar to those at the Super Bowl.
It’s day one of the “Peacock Era”.
WWE Network goes live today on Peacock - its new exclusive home in the United States.
The “original” Network will still be up until April 4th. So, Sunday’s Fastlane pay per view will air on both Peacock and the “original” network.
Your current WWE Network account will NOT automatically be transferred over to Peacock.
WWE is telling network subscribers to “be on the lookout for an email with more specific directions.”
Bottom line, if you want to watch WWE Network after April 4th, you will need to sign up for Peacock.
WWE has updated the FAQ on its website with info on remaining balances, gift cards, canceled accounts, automatic billing and more.
Finn Balor will defend the NXT Championship against Karrion Kross at the two-night Takeover: Stand & Deliver event during WrestleMania week. But WWE did NOT specify whether that match will happen on Night 1 on the USA Network...or the Night 2 show on Peacock.
Balor and Kross teamed up in the main event of last night’s NXT - challenging Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch for their tag titles.
The match ground to a halt after Burch appeared to suffer an injury. He never returned to the match, so Lorcan had to go it alone.
Balor accidentally knocked down Scarlett. That was enough for Kross. He turned on Balor..and Lorcan pinned Balor to retain the tag titles. Kross continued to beat up on Balor after the match.
NXT UK Champion WALTER made a surprise appearance on last night’s NXT...and laid out Tommaso Ciampa.
WWE’s two Cruiserweight Champions came face-to-face. Jordan Devlin confronted Santos Escobar...and they agreed to decide the one, true cruiserweight champ at TakeOver.
We should mention quickly - Devlin is set to defend his Cruiserweight Championship on today’s NXT UK...against Trent Seven. Today’s episode has a special start time - of 4PM Eastern.
Getting back to last night’s NXT…
Kyle O’Reilly was barred from Capital Wrestling Center last night - but sent in a video to vow revenge against Adam Cole. Later, cameras spotted police outside the CAC, with both Cole and O’Reilly in handcuffs.
Dexter Lumis beat Austin Theory.
NXT Women’s Champ Io Shirai delivered a contract for a title match to Raquel Gonzalez. I assume she’ll sign it.
(STINGER: AEW)
A brutal, bloody and historic main event on last night’s Dynamite. Dr. Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa brought out tables, ladders and even thumbtacks during their Unsanctioned Lights Out - Anything Goes - Match.
Dr. Baker was powerbombed onto the tacks...and later, Thunder Rosa drove her through a table at ringside...and got the pin.
Penta El Zero Miedo kicked out of the Crossroads and even got in his signature arm breaker on Cody Rhodes, but moments later Rhodes caught Penta with a rollup to steal the pin.
Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston beat the Good Brothers. After the match, Kenny Omega joined the Good Brothers for a post-match attack. They Pillmanized Kingston’s leg. Then, they set up for another with a steel chair wrapped around Moxley’s HEAD. The Young Bucks ran out to stop them...and even refused a Too Sweet from Omega.
MJF’s new faction has a name. The crew that includes Wardlow, FTR, Tully Blanchard and Shawn Spears will be known as...The Pinnacle.
Brian Cage broke ranks from Team Taz...to tell Sting he respects him.
(STINGER: New Japan)
The other half of the New Japan Cup’s “final four” is being decided this morning. It’s Will Ospreay vs. SANADA...and Jay White vs. David Finlay.
The semifinal matches are happening Saturday.
Warrior Wrestling announced late Wednesday that Kylie Rae will defend that promotion’s women’s title at their show in Chicago on June 5th. It would be Kylie Rae’s first match since she stepped away from pro wrestling last November.
David Marquez says he will not be part of the revival of NWA Powerrr starting next Tuesday. He said in a statement Wednesday he “wasn’t invited back”.

(STINGER: WWE)
There’s added interest surrounding what - and who - we’ll see on tonight’s NXT.
WWE is promoting LA Knight’s in-ring debut...along with a match between Dexter Lumis and Austin Theory.
Also, NXT UK’s Jordan Devlin is set to appear. Devlin is one of WWE’s TWO recognized Cruiserweight Champions. Santos Escobar being the other. It appears that situation is finally coming to a head.
(STINGER: AEW)
Some big matches are set for tonight’s Dynamite.
The main event is a first-on-Dynamite Unsanctioned Lights Out Match - Anything Goes - between Dr. Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa.

Also on tonight’s Dynamite..Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston vs. The Good Brothers…
Cody Rhodes vs. Penta El Zero Miedo...
Rey Fenix vs. Angelico.
Jurassic Express & Bear Country vs. Private Party, The Butcher & The Blade...
And Jade Cargill in action.
On last night’s Dark…Brian Cage and Ricky Starks beat Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss, but there were signs of tension among both teams. Cage and Starks were jawing at each other after the match.
Janela seemed even more upset after Kiss took the pin...but quickly apologizes and said he was just frustrated.
Also last night, Dark Order’s #10 was bloodied but victorious against Jack Evans...Madi Wrenkowski beat VertVixen...KiLynn King beat Jazmin Allure.
After main eventing Monday’s debut episode of Dark: Elevation...Maki Itoh tweeted she’s heading back to Japan...and there are no plans for when she may return to AEW TV.
AEW officially rescheduled upcoming live events in Philadelphia, Boston and Rochester, New York for later this year.
(STINGER: Impact)
The Good Brothers want their rematch for the Impact Tag Team Championships sooner rather than later...but they’ll have to settle for “later”. During last night’s Impact, Juice Robinson and David Finlay announced they won’t be back from Japan until next month.
Scott D’Amore made the tag title rematch official for Impact’s Rebellion pay per view on April 24th.
Before Rebellion...there will be another Impact Plus exclusive show. Hardcore Justice is happening on April 10th - Yes, the same day as Night 1 of WrestleMania.
Getting back to last night’s Impact, Sami Callihan pinned Trey Miguel after hitting a package piledriver in the main event.
Rhino pinned Jake Something after hitting Gore on him...after Something got distracted by Violent By Design brawling at ringside with James Storm and Chris Sabin.
Rohit Raju rolled up Mahabali Shera and pinned him with his feet on the ropes.
(STINGER: ROH)
TWO more title matches announced for ROH Anniversary PPV.
Jonathan Gresham defends the Pure Title against Dak Draper.
Also, Dragon Lee and Kenny King putting the ROH Tag Titles on the line against Tracy Williams and Rhett Titus. Lee and Williams are also meeting on that same show, with Lee defending the ROH TV Title.
Another title match added to NWA’s Back For The Attack pay per view - Elijah Burke defending his World Television Title against Thom Lattimore.
Tonight’s MLW Fusion has a Los Parks defending their tag titles against Injustice. Plus, Mil Muertes vs. Parrow...and the promise of an Azteca Underground Expose.
(STINGER: New Japan)
The Round Of Eight in the New Japan Cup resumes Thursday...with Will Ospreay vs. SANADA...and Jay White vs. David Finlay.
