All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 5/24 and Rampage 5/26 Season 4, Ep 34
Sometimes I forget that the WWE method of selling a PPV (that is, to do absolutely nothing of note on the go-home show) is not the method TK uses: Double Or Nothing will be happening in four days, so sure, let's have three championships defended on the go-home show! Also, Collision's first location (with heavy implications for a certain wrestler's return)! [more inside]

All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: Dynamite 5/10 and Rampage 5/12 -- Omega/Moxley IV Season 4, Ep 32
"Tony Khan has been known to dip into exaggeration from time to time when hyping AEW. That’s to be expected from a promoter. His latest bold claim is that Dynamite has a PPV lineup, and I actually agree with him this time. The upcoming episode of Dynamite on May 10 is stacked." -- SB Nation [more inside]

The Showcase of the Immortals, The Grandest Stage of All... and the first 'Mania that wasn't booked by serial-abuser Vince McMahon. Pro-wrestling biggest night comes once again, and WWE's biggest storyline by far is Roman Reigns and the Bloodline, their place at the head of the table now under assault by an alliance of friends-turned-enemies-turned-friends-again and a returning prodigal son (all of them former Ring of Honor champions, by the way). [more inside]
Special Event: ROH Supercard of Honor 2023
There is no shortage of wrestling content this weekend, for obvious reasons. Tonight Ring of Honor makes their play for the world's attention.

The aftermath of ALL OUT 2002... in more ways than expected! After his big win over Jon Moxley at the pay-per-view, CM Punk ran his mouth at the post-show media scrum (internet smarks are calling it the "Gripebomb"), cussing out the EVPs (and new Trios Champions) Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks.
