-- Main Event:
- Alicia vs. Dana:
I can't wait for someone in the future say this match inspired them to get into wrestling.

I had lost track of whether Alicia was heel or face...

This is fine enough.

Both ladies have good bases.

Pretty solid back-and-forth.

It's not an Alicia Fox match without a Northern Lights suplex.

Fine work overall!

- Ariya vs. Mustafa:
I wish we got a promo about Iran before this.

Solid mat work here.

I'm liking both sides here.

Nice enough back and forth.

I like Mustafa a good deal.

Nice for the time it had.

The Hardys are now part of Raw's upcoming Australia/New Zealand tour.  The shows would have been lacking something without them.

Reno SCUM are back in action as a team on September 22, so Thornstowe is cleared to return to the ring. I hope they do well once they're able to work GFW again.

GFW just debuted an Eric Young PPV. It's not a bad idea at all to capitalize on his NXT push. If people want to see more of him, GFW is giving them a chance to see some of his best work.

GFW's "Global Wrestling Network" will launch later this month as a website and an app. It will include some older episodes of Impact for free as a sample of the content available.

YouTube personality Inanna Sarkis was at the WWE Performance Center, leading to speculation of her being signed. WWE has a LOT of potential female signees from the MYC, but maybe she offers something that don't have due to their background.

Kacy Catanzaro discussed signing to WWE. WWE has apparently been recruiting her for a while. She'll start at the WWEPC in January. I wish her well; if she can get more fans into wrestling due to her ANW work, that's a plus.

WWE has a teaser of its "unreleased matches" DVD. They're constantly finding new footage in their archive.

Alberto El Patron and Paige have bought hotel rooms for those affected by Hurricane Harvey. That's amazing! Great for them!

Tyson Kidd and Curt Hawkins will be doing a seminar for New York's Create-A-Pro Wrestling on October 26. I'm glad Tyson's still able to contribute to the wrestling business despite not being able to return to the ring on WWE TV.

WWE has launched a Spanish series on FOX Sports Mexico. That's great! I hope it means good things for the markets south of the U.S.

GFW continues to plan shows in the midwestern U.S. (and potentially Canada) for fall. Hopefully they'll continue to grow that part of their business for 2018 and beyond.

Beth Phoenix and Alundra Blayze will be at the MYC finale. I expect a lot of other names will attend, too.

- Blayze's planned WWE Network special has been dropped. No word on why.

Abbey Laith is dealing with a foot injury. I was impressed with her work in Round One. I hope she's got a good future in WWE.

A number of MYC competitors are still working out at the WWEPC and will be part of the finale. I hope some of them will be signed soon.

Rusev and Lana have gone to Bulgaria, likely to film footage for "Total Divas." That should tell you what a priority that show is to WWE.

WCW Thunder should be coming to WWE Network soon. I'm surprised it's taken them so long to get to that, but I can see why they wanted to switch things up and dive into other areas of their huge library.

The "Table for 3" episode with Flair, Steamboat, and Sting will likely air after the September 11 Raw.

WWE Story Time's second season will follow the September 18 Raw.

WWE put up the results of a recent Performance Center training exercise, kind of like the NXT Olympics I suppose.

Samoa Joe is expected to miss four-to-six weeks, so he'll be back in time for Survivor Series. I'm glad the knee injury is fairly minor.

A steel cage match between Big Show and Braun Strowman is set for Raw. That could be pretty fun. I'd be fine with Braun retiring Mark Henry if they want to go that route.

Former WWE referee Kevin Keenan has been awarded a college scholarship by the company as he goes to make a career after wrestling. It's good to see them helping people out after their in-ring days are over. Not everyone has a long and successful career, and it can be hard to "start over" with a new career.

Ric Flair was profiled. There are some a lot of great facts and stories of his life there. There really needs to be a Flair biopic someday.

AdWeek covered WWE's latest KFC crossover. I love this kind of goofy stuff. Wrestling takes itself too seriously a lot of times.

Mike Kanellis recently trained at the WWE Performance Center. I'm surprised he got to skip NXT, but I guess he had leverage in the sense he could have stayed in GFW or returned to ROH. I'm glad he's looking to improve.

Impact Wrestling drew 268,000 viewers this week, putting them back where they were before Destination-X. They can only grow so much on Pop. It's going to take a lot of work to improve their standing.

JBL is stepping back from weekly commentary to do more charity work. He will continue to make appearances. That's a really kind move from the former WWE Champion. I can't fault him for that at all.

Darren Young returned to the ring as part of a battle royal on a Raw live event. The match was to determine Miz's challenger for the Intercontinental Championship later in the evening. Jason Jordan won the battle royal before losing to Miz.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I can only imagine how this storyline would go during the Attitude Era. I assume Mae Young would be involved somehow, though.

2. I expect the match to have a wild ending, for sure. They could have Bray interfere if they wanted, since Braun has largely ignored the guy who found him in the first place.

3. They've definitely got their work cut out for them in being competitive with the WWE Network, New Japan World, etc.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. EVERYONE HAS A PRICE HAHAHAHA. They'll be fine for the reasons mentioned. Not a lot of people are going to watch something from 30 years ago anyway.

More wrestling tomorrow.
