Query on Malik Omari, Interview with Angle, major Sting DVD error, Yesamania lives, NXT and Impact lineups, Stephanie on Punk, first GFW event announced, Smackdown audience, WWE Network in UK update, more matches for BFG, Smackdown match, Raw guest, what happened after Raw, and Questions on streaming PPVs, Rusev, Ambrose vs. Rollins, Fandango, and Raw's ratings

First up, a query:
1. Former NXT talent Malik Omari is back working in the UK for PWF.

Kurt Angle talked about his future, potentially retiring soon, and more. In order:
- It definitely sounds like he's done with TNA, but can't announce his future just yet. I can see him going to Jeff Jarrett's GFW.

- As for TNA's TV deal, they're expected to go to a new network for 2015. There are several networks they're having talks with.

- I can see WWE being reluctant to bring Angle back given his off-screen history. I don't know how shareholders would take it, for one, and there's concern of him being able to pass a physical.

- I loved Kurt Angle's WWE stuff, as a goofy character and a serious one.

- I'd like to see Angle vs. Swagger, Rusev, and Bryan, but I don't really expect them to happen.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
WWE's new Sting DVD has a picture of the "nWo Sting" on the back. This will be fixed in future editions. Ouch. Way to botch a highly-anticipated DVD of a top star.

The San Francisco Giants emulated the "Yes!" chant. So, Bryan remains in the spotlight for now.

Set for this week's NXT:
- NXT Championship: Adrian Neville vs. Tyson Kidd
- NXT Women's Championship: Charlotte vs. Bayley
- Hideo Itami vs. Viktor
- Baron Corbin in action.
- The Vaudevillains vs. Jason Jordan and Tye Dillinger

I think that could be a pretty solid show.

Set for this week's Impact:
- TNA Knockouts Championship: Gail Kim vs. Havok
- Mr. Anderson vs. MVP
- Austin Aries announces which champion he's challenging
- The Wolves reveal the final match of the Tag Team Championship series
- Bobby Roode responds to his loss to Lashley at No Surrender.

They've got to have more planned than that! We could be seeing some pretty thin shows these next few months.

Stephanie McMahon addressed C.M. Punk's departure in an official fashion. There's a very small chance of him coming back any time in the next few years.

Jeff Jarrett's GFW will be presenting NJPW's 1/4/15 Tokyo Dome show to U.S. PPV. All the marketing of the show will be under the GFW name. That's a pretty big first step for the company. I hope it goes well. Still no word on a TV show, despite months of announcements.

Smackdown's audience dropped to 2.32 million this week, a loss of more than 300,000 viewers. That's the lowest non-holiday number in 4 1/2 months. Smackdown could use some re-branding, as it's clearly the B-show the top names aren't generally on.

The WWE Network's launch in the UK has been delayed by nearly a month. The new launch date is 11/1. It was originally going to be early October. That's unfortunate both for WWE and UK fans.

Here's an expanded lineup for TNA's Bound For Glory:
- The Great Muta and Tajiri vs. James Storm and The Great Sanada
- Hardcore match: Team 3D vs. Tommy Dreamer and Abyss
- Team 3D Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
- TNA X-Division Championship: Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki vs. Kaz Hayashi
- Manik vs. Minoru Tanaka
- Velvet Sky vs. Havok

I hope that's a good show. I'm sure a lot of people are wondering what Bully and Devon will say if given a live mic! Outside of what's already taped, neither of them are currently scheduled for any upcoming TNA appearances after BFG.

Set for Smackdown is Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz and Damien Mizdow. I think we all know who will go over there.

The Reverend Jess Jackson was ringside at Raw Monday night. I'd love to know what he thought of it!

After Raw, The Authority left the ring. The Wyatt Family then looked to do damage to Cena and Ambrose, but the faces prevailed. Cena and Ambrose then taunted each other, with Ambrose getting the bigger reaction and getting to close out the night in Chicago. I hope this is a sign of a changing of the guard to a degree.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think the Network is quite the bargain given all the great content there. As far as streams go, I think it's unfair to the people who make their living in the industry to pirate them. It's not just Vince, Kevin Dunn, etc. who pay the price. It's the wrestlers, referees, and other employees further down the totem pole. If a PPV doesn't draw as well because fans pirate it, it's seen as a failure. If fans pirate a PPV featuring Ambrose, Bryan, Cesaro, etc. in top roles, while the parents of the John Cena fan gladly pay for PPVs with him in top spots, guess which market WWE's going to cater to? I can't say I blame them from a business perspective.

2. Rusev doesn't need a midcard title. It might even be beneath him right now given how effective he's been in facing the likes of Henry. He can easily go into a main event picture before much longer and leave the U.S. and IC Title for people lower on the card.

3. People said the same thing about Cena vs. Punk... I hope it's a big success, though.

4. He works the other shows here and there. I'm a fan of the gimmick, but I think he's talented enough to be really successful in a different role, too.

5. I'm sure all those things factor into it! The NFL is a big challenge, too, but I'd have to agree with the statement about people not changing to football if what's on Raw is sufficiently compelling.

More wrestling tomorrow.
