Mickie James and Nick Aldis filed for divorce. Now Aldis can't even call himself Mr. Mickie James.

ROH had a bit of early Spring cleaning. Nearly everyone who performs on Future of Honor was let go, as were Sumie Sakai, Mandy Leon, Jessie Brooks, and Gabby Ortiz. Leon threw the company under the bus in a shoot interview a few days after her firing.

El Texano went on a radio program and declared himself to be the only real star in AAA. This did not set well with the company, but no disciplinary action has taken place yet.

Staying in Mexico, CMLL released all of their talent over the age of 50. There were more names in that category than I expected.

WWE called Angelo Dawkins up to Raw. This seemingly random call up strained their relationship with Evolve as Dawkins was part of The Street Profits. They were Evolve's tag champs, but the loan deal only applied to NXT talent. Evolve had to scramble to replace the Profits pre bookings and took a financial hit.

New Hires

To fill out the roster I made some new hires, mostly on the lower end of the card.

Angelico - Formerly of AAA/LU (I got him for $350 a show and I am pumped over this signing)
Ryan Nova - Formerly of ROH.
Scott Parker - Formerly of Chikara and WWE local jobber status
Jigsaw - Masked Chikara and Evolve mainstay
