PWInsider.com will be on hand at today's Wrestlemania 35 press conference, which is scheduled to kick off at 11 AM Eastern, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Dean Ambrose's signing appearances at several World of Wheels events this weekend have been canceled.  Ambrose was in Birmingham, Alabama yesterday regarding his triceps tear, but we haven't confirmed yet if there is a connection between the two.

Finn Balor has launched his own clothing line company, PE&K at www.smmileitspeak.com.  Paige recently launched her own line, Saraya, as we have noted on PWInsider.com.  Thanks to Billy Krotchsen.

The storyline update on Shane McMahon after the great angle where he was attacked by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to close Smackdown Live this past Tuesday is that he has suffered "a laryngeal contusion, trapezius and rhomboid strains."

On today's edition of The Taz Show, the former WWE and ECW star discusses Braun Strowman and more.  You can check out all three episodes that were released this week (including my appearance this past Tuesday) by clicking here.

Our friends at www.RingsideCollectibles.com sent word that they now have Mattel's WWE Elite Series 58 featuring Matt Hardy, Braun Strowman, Mickie James, Sheamus, Cesaro & Dean Ambrose in stock and shipping at this link.  They are also now selling Mattel's WWE Series 84 with Finn Balor, Naomi, Rusev, Kevin Owens & Dean Ambrose at this link.

Ringside also released the following video in honor of Monday's Ultimate Deletion:

Speaking of action figures, with the sad news that Toys R Us will be liquidating and going out of business, one topic of discussion among talents the last few days is what the trickle down effect will be on them.  TRU was a huge retailer for WWE action figures and merchandise, so losing the chain could mean a lot less content being produced since there will be a huge gap in how it was being sold before vs. after TRU shutters operations - and that would mean a drop in royalties for WWE and its talents.

Ronda Rousey was interviewed by Sky Sports at this link.

Sasha Banks is signing this Monday 3/19 from 11 AM to 1 PM at the Cricket Wireless store (1318 North Masters Drive)  in Dallas, TX.

Former WWE star Rosa Mendes has been working out at the MCW Wrestling Academy in Joppa, MD of late for a potential return to the ring.  She hasn't competed since the birth of her son.  

Luke Harper discussed his first film role in the horror film Mohawk and more with CBS Sports at this link.
