• The Usos Give An Update On Roman Reigns
Universal Champion Roman Reigns tested positive for COVID-19 hours before the WWE Day 1 PPV, so he was pulled from the show.
This resulted in the Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar match being canceled.
At the WWE Day 1 PPV, Bloodline members The Usos kicked off the main show by defeating The New Day to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
After their win, they were interviewed by Sports Illustrated, where they were asked about their Tribal Chief.
Here’s what Jey Uso said:
“It felt off not having the Tribal Chief around. This match was for him. We represented, and he’s going to be OK. He’s home resting, and maybe playing some Call of Duty. We’re going to see him back soon.”
Jimmy Uso added:
“We opened the show, and we’re so used to seeing The Big Uce close the show. This pandemic is crazy, and all we want is for him to be safe and take care of himself.”

• Old School ECW Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the 59th birthday of Legendary Hardcore Wrestler & real life Bounty Hunter “The Original Gangsta” New Jack (Real name: Jerome Young).
New Jack originally made a name for himself in Jim Cornette’s SMW Smoky Mountain Wrestling territory, where he formed ‘The Gangstas’ with his Tag Team partner Mustafa Saed, but soon jumped ship to Paul Heyman’s ECW Extreme Championship Wrestling, where he became a house hold name in Hardcore Wrestling and somewhat of an innovator when it comes to jumping of balconies during pro wrestling matches.
After ECW closed its doors in January 2001, New Jack continued to wrestle on the indies (with a few short stints in TNA in between) until he officially retired a few years ago.
Jerome Young passed away from a heart attack in 2021.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE
January 3, 1963 – May 14, 2021
