Draft, Dodge and Dirt. Injury and Rumor Report 5/8/2019
Daniel Bryan has returned with Rowan to become the new Smackdown Tag Team Champions. Daniel Bryan and Rowan are hot free agents this week. Put a trade in immediately.
New Wildcard Rule that allows X amount of wrestlers to appear on both shows has lead to an extreme amount of points scoring. This should make this season very interesting to watch. Wildcard Scoring is scored under the Crossover Star Rule. WWE tries to explain the rule here.
Mickie James is to be the opening act for Big & Rich at the All-Star Country Jam July 8th in Richmond VA Raceway. This could mean she will not be wrestling or getting points during this time period. Draft accordingly.

DETAILS
WWE did not upload videos onto their YouTube Channel until after the end of each show. May be a way to get the ratings up by making people watch the show.
Dana Brooke was apparently added to the Money In The Bank Women’s Ladder Match in Sasha Banks spot. No word on when or if Sasha Banks will return.
Looks like WrestleMania 37 in 2021 may be held in Los Angeles, California. Will update when official word is released.
