A busy HHH talks about the WWE Draft:

Dominik Mysterio has posted a medical update on X. He won’t need surgery for his elbow issues.

Sami Zayn had this to say to Gorilla Position about his current working relationship with CM Punk: “That’s how I approach not just him but life. I’ve found in my experience it’s kind of exhausting to hate people [laughs]. The only person who’s mad is you. You know what I mean? They’re just walking around but you’re the one all of a sudden under a cloud of negativity. So, I just don’t want that cloud. Has there been some weird stuff between us in the past? Sure. I think 90 per cent of people you ask about Punk would probably say the same but as far as I’m concerned we’ve work together. You’re here. You’ve been through a lot in your life. Let’s just clean slate, start over. That’s it.”

Some news from Mustafa Ali:

Max Caster had this interesting response to a fan on X. Some are speculating it is because of his second rap at AEW Dynasty:

Word is that Alundra Blayze, Teddy Long, and JBL will be part of the WWE Draft.

The crew of The Pat McAfee Show ripped on Tony Khan appearing at the NFL draft with a neck brace on after being attacked on Dynamite. After McAfee commented about what happened to Khan, Ty Schmit said: “Someone should tell Tony Khan that if you have a neck brace on don’t f——g move around like nothing’s wrong. Stick with the gimmick and look straight ahead like your neck’s broken.”

The Butcher has a new job:

An announcement from AEW:

Here’s your TNA preview for tonight:

TNA has announced:

Steve Maclin has resigned with TNA.

Speaking to Busted Open Radio, Cameron Grimes (Trevor Lee) said: “Literally the last time I was at TV I had a pretty high executive tell me — because, you know, I was worried starting this stock market gimmick it made me see businesses in a different light, you know what I mean? Following these companies and playing with stocks I would see things in a different light so I knew that I haven’t worked in over a year and I’m making a decent salary. I knew that if someone was to look at the books I’m going to be the first person that’s going to be cut…I was told by a high executive last week on Friday that I would always have a job here. I would never have to worry about losing my job here after expressing my concerns like that to him and then five days later they called me and told that I do lose the job.”

Some familiar faces are launching a new wrestling promotion:

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has promised to bring WrestleMania to London if he is re-elected. He said: “I believe that London has the potential to host the first international WrestleMania,” while campaigning. WWE President Nick Khan recently said though: “We sat down together a few years ago and decided, so the big five premium live events… should be in the United States or Canada. All of the other events, the goal is to have them from international locations.”

Word is that Jimmy Uso isn’t part of the draft because he is injured.
