- Tito Ortiz did not attend the Impact! tapings last night in Orlando, FL. It was announced by Dusty Rhodes during the first taping that he would be the special guest referee for the Jeff Jarrett vs. AJ Styles NWA World Title Match. Ortiz will not make any appearances on Impact! heading into the PPV as three weeks worth of footage was taped and the PPV is only three weeks away on May 15.

- Kevin Nash was not at the Impact! tapings last night at Universal Studios either. Nash will be heading to China very soon to star filming a movie that will keep him busy for the next two months or so. It's expected at this point that Nash will be written out of all storylines for the time being. Of course, givin his rather out spoken comments regarding the company, it is very possible that he might not be returning for quite some time.

- Sean Waltman was backstage at the tapings on Tuesday night, but did not wrestle. Based on the report we got, it doesn't appear he was used at all on any of the three tapings. Other high profile names not used on any of the tapings as well included Diamond Dallas Page and Monty Brown.
