For the third straight week, AEW Dynamite is moved right behind WWE Smackdown due to the NBA Playoff schedule.

The Joker from the Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing has already ended his time in AEW as Lio Rush announced he's retiring. He is hoping to get over some nagging injuries and spent time with his family.

Meanwhile... there's already a call from within the company for WWE to bring back one of the recently released talents. There's been a push backstage to try and get Aleister Black/Tommy End back in the company... saying he was released too early. However, they may already be too late as there's reports out that a deal with AEW may already be almost assured.

If you're wondering where Bray Wyatt or "The Fiend" have been since Wrestlemania... well apparently he's just being kept off TV for a bit on purpose and there's no heat or any issues with him. Hopefully that means WWE has plans for him once fans return... maybe taking back "The Fiend" powers from Alexa in a live exorcism that may or may not be booed out of the building if it's done in front of fans. Certainly nowhere in line with Edge & Lita's live sex celebration.

WWE is trying to make SummerSlam a "Wrestlemania-type" show this year... and the current main event appears to be Roman Reigns vs. John Cena and Cardi B as guest host. Of course the show is set to be a short one to allow fans to get to the boxing match across the street in time for that main event.

There will be a NXT show on SummerSlam weekend... so we can prep for that as well... possible on that Sunday night.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown comes from the WWE Thunderdome inside of the Yuengling Center on the campus of the University of South Florida in Tampa, Fla.

After the beatdown that ended last week's Smackdown... Rey Mysterio, Jr. may be out for revenge on the Head of the Table, Roman Reigns.

In the "these people are going to literally fight forever, aren't they" category... Big E teams with Kevin Owens to face Sami Zayn & Apollo Crews.

"Ding Dong Hello" makes its grand return to Smackdown as Bayley welcomes in the Friday Night Messiah Seth Rollins and his crazy suits and single black glove (which apparently fits... so you must convict)
