There has been some talk internally about pushing Damien Priest much further and moving soon to be returning Aleister Black from Friday Night SmackDown to Monday Night RAW.
There has been backstage chatter recently that the RAW roster needs some fresh faces. Two ideas I’ve heard talked about are Damien Priest getting a big opportunity & Aleister Black being moving over. Orton & AJ having tag team roles have left the top a bit weak.
You may have noticed large chunks of the MLW video library have been taken down from YouTube.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that part of the MLW library has been removed from YouTube as the company is attempted to put together a rights deal for its video library.

Bea Priestley is expected to sign a deal with WWE soon.
As reported a few weeks ago, Priestley finished up with Stardom which she has been a part of since 2017. She decided not to re-sign with them and NJPW.
There was some speculation Priestley would join AEW as she did some work for them in 2020 but she was released due to the COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions.
Priestley is reported to be joining the WWE NXT UK brand.
