The Shield are advertised as teaming on WWE's UK tour beginning November 1. So, the group isn't just having a one-time reunion at TLC.

- WWE UK talents Pete Dunne, Wolfgang, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, Jordan Devlin, Tucker,  Mark Andrews, Dan Moloney, Joseph Conners, Tyson T-Bone, and James Drake are all set for various stops on the tour.

Chris Jericho will host the Loudwire Music Awards on AXS TV on October 24, where Miz will also be appearing. I'm glad Jericho is able to be a success at something beyond wrestling.

Sin Cara discussed his heat with Chris Jericho and more:
- Eddie's influence still being felt with today's wrestlers is awesome.

- Sin Cara's got the right idea about doing whatever role the company asks of him.

- A lot of the resentment at Enzo is being who he is on-scren backstage, where it rubs a lot of people the wrong way. It could definitely get old.

- I assume Y2J and Sin Cara made up/things were blown out of proportion, because it's not like people just made up an incident between them.

- It will be kind of funny if he wrestles without a mask after the whole feud with the other Sin Cara.

Alicia Fox was "fined an undisclosed amount" for shoving a referee during her Raw angle with Sasha Banks. Clever.

WWE is selling "cloud pillow pals" of Big Cass, Enzo Amore, Finn Balor, John Cena, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. Interesting that Dean wasn't included with his Shield brethren.

WWE Network has added Halloween segments from a 1985 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event to the WWE Shorts Collection. I look forward to seeing Halloween Smackdown and 205 Live.

House of Hardcore's Twitch shows will feature Super Crazy, Little Guido, Shane Douglas, Joey Mercury, The (Spirit Squad), Magnus, Petey Williams, Billy Gunn, MVP, Austin Aries, Abyss, Candice Michelle, the former Victoria/Tara, Al Snow, Swoggle, and Carlito among others. So, HOH is able to use talents working for other promotions.

NJPW forgot to bring Kenny Omega's U.S. Championship to Global Wars, as they thought Omega had it in his own possession. The action more than made up for that gaffe.

Impact is holding a press conference/autograph signing at a pizza pub on October 20 to promote Bound For Glory. Impact is teaming with the location to do post-Impact parties following the upcoming TV tapings in Ottawa. I like that branding opportunity to push attention for Impact.

Bound For Glory will have a special commentary team, as Slammiversary did before it. That's a good move to make the show feel like a big deal. I wouldn't be surprised to see Scott D'Amore or another Canadian be part of calling the show that night.

Chris Jericho discussed a lot of wrestling topics on a metal music website. No word on when we'll see him in the ring again, but I'm sure it's something he's thinking about.

Raw's audience Monday was 2.69 million viewers, a weak number. I wonder if having Kane come back was part of a plan to boost the audience.

Before Smackdown, Chad Gable, Shelton Benjamin, and Tye Dillinger defeated Mike Kanellis, Primo, and Epico. I can't say I'm itching for a Colons return. Maybe they'd do better in NXT?

The Miz will be the grand marshal of a New Orleans festival to promote WM34.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It'd all come down to letting the current leadership continue to do what they do now. Vince isn't the type to take orders from anyone else.

2. I don't see that being nearly as financially successful as the current arrangement. TV deals are still very profitable for WWE.

3. It's a fair criticism that there also need to be positive portrayals of people of different races that don't glorify illegal/immoral acts.

4.a. Writers are free to pitch "Attitude Era" style storylines, but it's often not what Vince wants for his product.

b. I don't think Heyman would want to be in that kind of role. He has other goals in his life right now.

c. Wrestlers are also free to make suggestions on their roles, especially at the NXT level.

d. While there should be some effort made to bring in former fans, I think it might be wiser to branch out to make new fans. The Attitude Era is long gone; they should focus on the iPhone generation instead of trying to capitalize a style that's time has passed.

More wrestling tomorrow.
