Charlotte is now officially Charlotte Flair. It's kind of odd they're using her last name months after she kicked Ric to the curb.
After Raw, WWE will have a new "Table for 3" with Goldust, Booker T., and R-Truth. That should be an interesting mix.
Brock Lesnar is scheduled for WWE's live event in Mexico on December 3. I really hope he brings back the sombrero and mariachi band for that appearance.
Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks made history last night as the first women's match to headline a (main roster) WWE PPV. I have a feeling it won't be the last. It will be interesting to see if this leads to other title matches headlining shows in the future. With so many PPVs in the brand split era, it's not out of the question for a tag team title match, for instance, to get the spotlight every once in a while.
Chris Nowinski was backstage at Hell in a Cell. He lives in the area.
Korn's Jonathan Davis at the NXT event in Bakersfield, California. That's pretty cool.
Tim Wiese discussed his impending WWE debut. I really hope he makes an impact. He seems like he's got some real potential. I could definitely see him having something of a Scott Steiner gimmick with his size and attitude toward smaller, weaker opponents.
Some of the cast from The CW's "The 100" dressed as WWE personalities. I bet they wish Smackdown was still on The CW!
Neither John Cena nor Randy Orton are advertised for Survivor Series. Cena will likely be busy with "American Grit," and Orton is likely to get time off to be with his wife and soon-to-be-born child. WWE's really got their work cut out for them getting Smackdown over without those two present at the show. Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg is presumably Raw vs. Raw (unless Shane "signed Goldberg" to get revenge for the attack at Summerslam), so once more Smackdown looks like the "B" show. I wouldn't expect Undertaker to show up on Smackdown's side after his hip surgery, either.
Daniel Bryan is advertised for WWE's shows in Spain on Nov. 11, 12, and 13. I assume he'll just make a match or something.
At a Smackdown live event in Pennsylvania, Randy Orton posed alongside the Wyatt Family after they distracted Kane during a street fight leading to Orton winning. So, maybe Orton gets left for dead for Survivor Series or something.
At an NXT live event in California:
- TM61 defeated Alexander Wolfe and Sawyer Fulton in a Dusty Classic match
- Authors of Pain defeated #DIY in a Dusty Classic match
- Bobby Roode defeated Kota Ibushi. Cool to see Ibushi working more. Hopefully he ends up becoming a full-timer sometime.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com question:
- I definitely think he wanted/wants TNA to succeed for the sake of the wrestlers and the wrestling fans.
- He might just wash his hands of the whole situation if he doesn't get a significant stake of TNA and isn't able to change things. I can't say I'd blame him for taking that route.
- Sounds like their theory is he's filing the suit so even if he doesn't end up with TNA, it at least won't keep going along the path it had been going with Dixie at the helm.
More wrestling tomorrow.
