Potentially everyone at the show, not just at the rumble, could test positive. Are there any safety measures in place at these shows or is everything lax now?

I believe they still test before shows but I'm not entirely sure - they certainly were at some point. If so then I guess they'd catch this if it happened there although it was the best part of a week ago so there's a strong chance they caught it since that show.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

That transgraps account also mentioned a day or two ago that VENY does use she/her pronouns and apparently the genderless monicker was a long standing error in translation

So she actually used “genderless” as a nickname (genderless wrestler/genderless destroyer and there was another one) but it’s one of those loan words that has a shifted meaning and more means androgynous or against gender norms from my understanding. There are a few Joshi wrestlers who use it (a few of the new AWG people, believe Kaho Kobayashi did) and it’s more a thing that they present themselves in a more masculine manner rather than a sign that they are trans or non-binary. One of her current names is “brilliant and beautiful woman” or something along those lines and she’s had a few like that.

It’s a good lesson that concepts that exist in English aren’t necessarily universal (pronouns work differently in Japanese as does the way you might present yourself in the language) and to not make assumptions based on that assumption.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Show drew over 900 people which surprised me as with the over the top rules and 10 minute time limit for the first round meant there was probably gonna be nothing great.

After the success of the first event, New Blood 2 is already happening.

I'm not convinced that the Cosmic Angel X is actually a new roster member. My prediction is Yuna Mizumori, playing off the Choco Angels spoof she did. Unless there's someone who's over 30 and a former tjpw/Actwres Girlz (Cosmic Angels requirement) and who's still new to wrestling (New Blood requirement) out there unaccounted for.

The speculation I've seen is Haruka Umesaki but I don't know about that one; I don't know if she'd really fit there.

The funny and feel good answer would be Yoshiko Hasegawa: she's ex-AWG and in fact the only 2019-21 AWG debut (excluding the new generation people) to not be in Stardom. I think it unlikely because she has been out long term with a serious neck injury but if she came out I'd be rooting for her.
