- WWE released the sneak peek for the upcoming WWE Beyond The Ring special, Rey Mysterio: The Ultimate Underdog. In the clip, Mysterio talks about his bond with the late Eddie Guerrero. You can check out the video below:
- As noted last week, authorities in Ecuador are launched an investigation into television network Teleamazonas for airing WWE programming. The station said that the Superintendency of Communication and Information (Supercom) feels that the network airing the show violates federal laws against the promotion of violence. Supercom noted that WWE "runs the risk of becoming a television product incompatible with the cognitive development, criteria, and discernment of the audience."
Supercom released the following statement (in Spanish) stating that Teleamazonas was fined $1,770 for airing WWE programming on March 28th during a slot that should only be for family-friendly programming.
- As noted, Tommaso Ciampa, Mikey Nichols, Shane Haste, Taeler Hendrix, Havok, Biff Busick, Johnny Gargano, Jimmy Preston, Rosie Lottalove (Andrea) and Athena are at the WWE tryouts in Orlando, FL. As we first exclusively reported last month, former UFC fighter Matt Riddle is also at the tryout. He referenced the tryout on his Twitter earlier this week:
