WWNLIVE DEPARTURE, ADAM COLE & KASSIUS OHNO SET FOR EVOLVE THIS WEEKEND, ALLYSIN KAY RETURNS HOME AS CHAMPION AND MORE

Ron Niemi gave his notice today that he has quit WWN as color commentator and is done with the promotion. We are told it was not a friendly end to the relationship. I would assume Lenny Leonard will likely call this weekend's EVOLVE events solo.

Thunder Rosa noted that United Airlines lost one of her bags which had some of her gear and makeup. She said it was on a domestic flight and unless it's recovered in time, she won’t have her usual face paint on for SHINE and her other bookings this weekend. Thanks as always to Shannon Walsh of WrestlingwithDemons.net.

SHINE will debut in Livonia, Michigan this Friday 5/10 at 3 PM featuring Allysin Kay's return home to the metro Detroit area as SHINE Champion again after winning the title back from Miyu Yamashita at the Tokyo Joshi Pro show in Sapporo, Japan on 5/6/19. She will face Samatha Heights in a non-title match on the SHINE event, which also features:

*SHINE Nova Champion Aja Perera vs. Shotzi Blackheart

*SHINE Tag Champions Rainbow Bright and Lucious Latasha defend against Thunder Rosa and Hoildead in a LumberJills Match

*Mercedes Martinez vs. Su Yung

*Santana (Garrett) vs. Kimber Lee

*Ivelisse vs. Natalia Markova

*Brandi Lauren vs. Thunderkitty

*Marti Belle vs. Lindsay Snow.

WWE NXT's Kassius Ohno and Adam Cole will appear on this weekend's EVOLVE events. Cole will headline the 5/10 event, facing EVOLVE Champion Austin Theory:
