> ALBERTO EL PATRON CALLS WWE RACISTS IN ANOTHER PERISCOPE VIDEO
- Alberto El Patron went off again in a rant on Periscope, blasting his former employer while his fiancée - and a current employee of his former employer - shot the video by his side. “I hope you guys watch Impact Wrestling. What a great show, right baby,” Alberto asked as Paige said “Yes.” He then continued, “They don’t judge you by the color of your skin like other places…” before he got cut off by Paige who said, “Baby, I still work there!” El Patron was not done though. “No, I’m not mentioning any names. Impact Wrestling they don’t care if you’re brown, white, black, they treat you the same. They don’t care if you’re from Mexico, America, Russia or any other country, they treat you the same.” The former WWE champion then had another parting message for WWE. “You have to preach with example, Stamford, if you are going to run an anti-bullying campaign, you have to stop bullying people. If you’re going to run an anti-hate campaign, you need to stop what you’re doing and stop judging people by the color of their skin!” If things stay the same, the longer Paige is involved in these kind of videos, the less she’s going to be successful in the company again when - and if - she returns.

> MATT AND JEFF HARDY RESUME THEIR FULL-TIME SCHEDULE WITH WWE
- Matt and Jeff Hardy resumed their full-time life on the road with WWE this weekend after their return at WrestleMania. The current Raw Tag Team champions enjoyed their light schedule while in Impact Wrestling, and it was one of the reasons the duo stayed so long with the company. Matt’s wife Reby even tweeted that their arrangement was perfect for their family and the fact that they walked away from that shows you how bad the situation became at Impact. Matt and Jeff have also been added to the upcoming WWE European tour next month. “My brother & I are ECSTATIC to be returning to Europe in May with @WWE. It's absolutely DELIGHTFUL,” Matt wrote on Twitter.




> REIGNS SHOWS UP AT LIVE EVENT IN PROVIDENCE AND ATTACKS STROWMAN
- After Monday’s vicious beating at the hands of Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns appeared at the non-televised live event in Providence, Rhode Island. After the third match, it was announced that Roman Reigns would not be wrestling on this show since he wasn’t medically cleared to compete. Braun Strowman came out to a nice pop from the crowd. Sure enough, Roman Reigns’ music kicked in and the two engaged in a brawl on the entrance ramp. With his left shoulder all taped up, Reigns started to gain the upper hand but Strowman eventually beat up Reigns some more much to the enjoyment of the crowd. The cheers turned into boos though as Strowman got a table in the ring and ended up getting speared through it. You can see the video at http://w-o.it/2oDBSGV .
