AEW Collision and TNA Impact coverage, ROH on HonorClub note, WrestleMania weekend independent events, Raw, Smackdown, and Impact grades, Vickie Guerrero, Paul London, Joe Doering, Michin, George Steele

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

-Tonight’s AEW Collision was taped last night in Everett, Washington, at Angels of the Wind Arena. The show carries the Spring BreakThru theme and will be simulcast on TNT and HBO Max at 7CT/8ET. Don Murphy’s review will be available afterward. Will Pruett’s weekly audio reviews of Collision are available exclusively Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons). Collision was moved from its usual Saturday night slot due to the network’s NHL Playoffs coverage on Saturday. Of course, I suspect the show would have been moved anyway to avoid running against night one of WrestleMania 42.

-TNA Thursday Night Impact was taped on Tuesday in Syracuse, New York, at Upstate Medical University Arena. The show features EC3 vs. Eric Young, along with the fallout from Saturday’s Rebellion pay-per-view. John Moore’s Impact reviews are typically available late Thursday night or on Fridays. My Impact audio reviews are available on Fridays for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).

-With Collision airing tonight, this week’s Ring of Honor show will stream Friday night on HonorClub at 7CT/8ET.

-I gave last week’s TNA Impact a B- grade during my audio review of the Rebellion go-home show.

-Friday’s WWE Smackdown finished with F as the top grade in our post-show poll with 50 percent of the vote. D finished second with 21 percent of the vote. I gave the show a D- grade during my same-night audio review. Pat McAfee and Jelly Roll need to go home.

-Monday’s WWE Raw finished with B as the top grade in our post-show poll with 41 percent of the vote. C finished second with 17 percent of the vote. I gave the show a C grade during my same-night audio review.
