(STINGER: WWE)

Today was supposed to be the day - but instead, WWE announced last night that the ticket sales for WrestleMania are on hold - being moved as “plans for the event are still being finalized.” WWE is promising to announce a new on-sale date within the next week.

This didn’t prevent WWE from announcing TWO title matches for WrestleMania during last night’s Raw. One of the main events is set - Bobby Lashley defending the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre.

Also announced for Mania - The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods will defend the Raw Tag Titles they just won from The Hurt Business on last night’s Raw. They’ll be challenged by AJ Styles and Omos, who’ll be making his in-ring debut at WrestleMania.

We got some matches made for Fastlane coming up on Sunday.

McIntyre will face Sheamus. McIntyre submitted The Miz with The Hurt Lock on last night’s Raw. Sheamus lost to Lashley in the Raw main event.

Shane McMahon and Braun Strowman were set for a match last night, but Shane used a video camera to get the jump on Braun...and got him in position to hit his elbow drop from the top rope through the announce table. Then, Shane dumped GREEN GOO on Braun.

Shane and Braun are now set for a rematch at Fastlane.

Alexa Bliss issued a challenge to Randy Orton, and WWE says those two will go one-on-one at Fastlane.

Also last night, Riddle retained the United States Championship against Mustafa Ali.

Women’s Champion Asuka returned to Raw...snuck in a pin on Shayna Baszler...and then continued to beatdown after the match...as she sought vengeance for the kick to the face from Baszler that put her out of action.

Bad Bunny relinquished the 24/7 Championship to R-Truth

Later, Bad Bunny was laid out in the ring by a guitar shot from The Miz.

(STINGER: AEW)

Tony Khan announced Monday that LEGIT Leyla Hirsch has officially signed with AEW.

Khan also appeared in-person on last night’s debut episode of AEW Dark: Elevation...and made a non-title match between AEW Champ Kenny Omega and Matt Sydal for NEXT WEEK’s Dynamite.

The debut episode of AEW Dark: Elevation had a runtime of just over two hours.

Riho beat Maki Itoh in the main event.

QT Marshall beat Marko Stunt. After the match, QT just walked away as PRETTY Peter Avalon and his crew ran out to beat up Stunt.

Also, Max Caster from The Acclaimed beat Top Flight’s Dante Martin.

Tonight’s Impact Wrestling will spotlight a couple key feuds that were not featured on last Saturday’s Sacrifice show...

We’ll get Sami Callihan vs. Trey Miguel...and Mahabali Shera vs. Rohit Raju.

Plus, a 12-woman tag team match - Knockouts Champ Deonna Purrazzo, Kimber Lee, Susan...the Knockouts Tag Champs - Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz...and Tenille Dashwood VS. Jordynne Grace, Jazz, ODB, Alisha, Havok and Nevaeh.

Banks and Bianca Belair lost a tag match to Natalya and Tamina last night. Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler and Reginald were at commentary during the match. Banks eventually went after Reggie.

An 8-man tag ended with Montez Ford pinning one-half of the SmackDown tag champs, Robert Roode.

Cesaro beat Murphy for the second straight week - this time via disqualification when Seth Rollins got involved. He hit a pair of Curb Stomps...tried a third with Cesaro’s head wrapped in a steel chair - but the refs stopped Rollins.

Rollins later had a brief staredown with Shinsuke Nakamura.

NXT referee Tom Castor was in the ring Wednesday night for the women’s title match between Io Shirai and Toni Storm. But the following day, he says he tore his biceps...and it will require surgery. Castor spent 10 months on the shelf after he suffered a gruesome broken ankle during a match in 2019.

(STINGER: AEW)

AEW has a lot more planned for Monday’s debut episode of Dark: Elevation than the five matches announced Thursday. It’s now an ELEVEN match card - including matches for Miro & Kip Sabian...Big Swole...and an 8-man tag with The Butcher & The Blade and Private Party teaming up on one side.

One-Half of The Acclaimed, Anthony Bowens, responded to a report that he recently had knee surgery. Bowens tweeted “What you’ve seen the last 4 months was me basically wrestling on 1 leg.” He promised plenty of Acclaimed content every week while he’s away from the ring.

EVIL used a distraction from Yujiro Takahashi to get a win over Jeff Cobb in the main event.

Earlier, Toru Yano tried just about every trick in his playbook against Great-O-Khan, including tying Great-O-Khan’s ponytail to a ringside barrier.

(STINGER: WWE)

NXT delivered not two, but THREE title matches along with TWO big announcements last night.

We learned last night that the next TakeOver: Stand & Deliver...will be a two-night event during WrestleMania week. Night 1 is Wednesday, April 7th on the USA Network. Night 2 is the following night, and will air exclusively on Peacock.

GM William Regal also introduced the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships - and awarded them to Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai. Their title reign didn’t last long. They were dethroned later in the show - by Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon.

Finn Balor is still the NXT Champion. He pinned Adam Cole, after a timely distraction from a returning Kyle O’Reilly. After the match, O’Reilly went wild as he attacked Cole. When the smoke cleared, Balor found himself face-to-face with Karrion Kross as the show went off the air.

Io Shirai submitted Toni Storm to retain the NXT Women’s Championship.

NXT UK’s Jordan Devlin - The WWE Cruiserweight Champion - is coming to the United States...and he plans to challenge Santos Escobar - who is also recognized as WWE Cruiserweight Championship.

Today’s NXT UK has a Heritage Cup Rules between Tyler Bate and Dave Mastiff. Also, a mixed tag: Jinny and Joseph Conners vs. Piper Niven and Jack Starz

WWE will hold a Hall Of Fame induction ceremony on the Tuesday before WrestleMania. That will air exclusively on Peacock. The class of 2020 will finally be inducted - along with a new class for 2021. The first member of the new class announced Wednesday is Molly Holly.

(STINGER: AEW)

A big shake-up in AEW closed last night’s Dynamite. Chris Jericho and MJF both revealed their plots to betray one another. Sammy Guevara returned to expose MJF’s plot to oust Jericho from the Inner Circle. The original members of the group stayed loyal to Jericho, but MJF was a step ahead.

The lights went out...and when they came back on...MJF’s new faction was revealed - Wardlow, FTR, Shawn Spears and Tully Blanchard. They laid waste to the Inner Circle...the final blow was Wardlow powerbombing Jericho off the stage.

The follow-up to the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match at Revolution - included a pre-taped promo from Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley. Kingston tied up the only real loose end left - saying the panic of the moment caused him to black out as the expected explosion Sunday night turned out to be a “dud”.

Later, Kenny Omega, Don Callis and the Good Brothers were in the ring mocking both men. Kingston came out, eventually punched Omega in the face. Moxley followed...and then, Christian Cage made his first appearance on Dynamite - and mixed it up with Omega.

Mox and Kingston will face The Good Brothers on next week’s Dynamite.

The main event of next week’s show will be Dr. Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa in an Unsanctioned Lights Out Match. Baker beat down Rosa...after Rosa, Hikaru Shida and Ryo Mizunami beat Baker, Nyla Rose and Maki Itoh. Thunder Rosa pinned Itoh.

Darby Allin used a roll-up to beat Scorpio Sky and retain the TNT Championship. Sky attacked Allin after the match.

Rey Fenix pinned Matt Jackson. SCU was shown watching from the crowd. The commentary team said SCU will challenge the winner of the upcoming tag title match between the Young Bucks and Fenix & Pac. SCU has stated that if they lose another tag match, they’ll be done as a team.

The other member of Death Triangle, Penta El Zero Miedo, got in the face of Cody Rhodes...and those two will meet next week.

Ethan Page’s Dynamite debut was a win over Lee Johnson...but it was overshadowed by audio problems for viewers watching on TNT.

(STINGER: New Japan)

The second round of the New Japan Cup is getting underway this morning with a pair of matches. The tour is taking a couple days off before resuming on Saturday.

The first round matches wrapped up Wednesday with Jay White beating Toa Henare. White will face Hiroshi Tanahashi in the Second Round.
