The Wrap now reports that Turner is in advanced talks with AEW for a weekly TV show that would likely air on TNT. It was noted that the deal is "definitely not signed" and the talks are "pretty complex" but "not imminent." It is not a sure thing that AEW will be presented at the Upfronts.

The potential deal would see a weekly AEW TV series air on TNT, but AEW would also have a multi-platform existence. The Wrap noted that Turner's Bleacher Report Live platform would be "the most sensible outpost for the sports entertainment overflow."

It's also possible that the AEW TV show wouldn't be be year-round, indicating that the promotion may have plans for an off-season. The Wrap noted, "That would likely be a combination of the newness of the league and its desire to be more wrestler-friendly than rival WWE, which has a punishing schedule for talent."

The Wrap also reported that AEW's first big event, Double Or Nothing on May 25 from Las Vegas, is set to stream on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. It sounds like that could change as a streaming deal with a network is announced.

According to a report from The Miami Herald, a student in Florida by the name of Gianny Sosa was arrested and charged with battery. According to the report, he tried to hit his high school principal, Humberto Miret, with an RKO. You can't make this stuff up! Of course, this is Randy Orton's finishing maneuver.

Sosa reportedly attempted to hit the move on Miret in the hallways of the school. As a result of the attack, he was arrested. Sosa's attorney is claiming that "the move can't be executed without someone else's assistance" and it shouldn't have resulted in the arrest of the student.

Seems like there's a lot of drama going on backstage at WWE right now. Just read where Road Dogg resigned as co-lead writer for Smackdown Live with rumors that he "reached a breaking point" with Vince's script changes. Also see if floating around that Sasha Banks threanted to quit over the weekend as she did not want to drop the titles to ghe Iiconics or job to Bliss on Raw. Never been a fan of Banks but saw her and Bliss taking jabs at each other on twitter recently.

Similarly, Bayley is frustrated as well. Both from Sean Ross Sapp.

Any ideas who Rusev is referring to in this tweet? At first I was assuming Banks or Jax but saw that Ryback responded which is weird since he's be gone for a while now

The Ryback response was hilarious. I think it's Banks given all her drama this past week.

I think it is toward Banks also. Especially since Jax is taking time off to get both her ACLs fixed.

Ambrose being advertised for tonight's superstar shakeup. Interesting to say the least.

Uh what

The Viking Experience...jesus Vince

It's like someone is intentionally trying to make dumb decisions.

Luke Harper requested his release. A massively underutilized talent. Hopefully we see him on AEW soon.

Just saw that and was coming here to post it. I always liked him

Came to post the same. I liked him more with the Bludgeon Brothers than the Wyatt Family really.

Take that back! The Wyatt Family was awesome and could have been the best faction since Evolution

I see they're still desperate to get people to cheer for Reigns

Just saw Buddy Murphy was added to SmackDown. Glad he's getting a shot on the main roster

at this point they need to go the Goldberg route with him and just have him squash a bunch of people without Talking. Take him back to shield Roman

Lars Sullivan sucks. His moves aren't "powerful" at all. His sniveling or whatever the hell he is doing sucks. He's not impressive at all. Just a repackaged Ryback without the attitude and at least a little style.

Considering he had mental health issues for a while, I give him a pass for now. Partially because I really want him to be the next monster

The Montreal Screwjob is pretty well documented, but I still love seeing things about it. This Viceland doc is pretty good if you have 45 min to watch.

Definitely plan on watching this. I was (and still am) a big HBK mark growing up. And related to this, in his return to Montreal in 2005, Michaels have one of the best heel promos of all time

I'm in the same boat. I remember watching his ladder matches with Razor and being a fan since then. As a ten year, getting to see him wrestle in person in Corpus was amazing. He went up against Austin (I think he was the Ringmaster at that point). Also, the Rock was there in his WWF debut. This was all a couple of weeks before WMXII. His whole lead up to that match was something I'll always remember. HBK will always be my all time favorite.

Looks like Punk made his return to wrestling

Confirmed that it was Punk. Wonder if he'll make an actual return to wrestling. I would imagine AEW would be very interested and that would give them a giant Wow factor.

Rousey taking a break, unknown if it will be permanent or not, while pregnant.

In my opinion, she did a great job of helping increase the overall prestige of the women's division. Plus, her husband helped protect Bret Hart. Go have your babies

The Viking Radiers?

Better than viking experience

Also. Havent seen it..but Twitter is going ape **** over Bray's new gimmick. My friend said he is basically PeeWee Herman

I'm interested to see how it goes. This evil Pee Wee Herman thing has some promise depending on creative and the execution.

Just watched it. I can give it a chance. A massive change to his character but still embodies Wyatt's creepiness.

I don't know how I feel about it, but I guess I can give it a shot
