Alicia Fox is set to team with Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Mickie James at Survivor Series. I'm a little surprised Asuka isn't involved there. I guess she'll beat up Dana Brooke that night. Why wouldn't Alicia choose her for the team? She's undefeated!!
NJPW has exceeded 2016 attendance numbers in just ten months. That's quite impressive. All Japan is seeing a large increase in their own attendance.
Final Battle has sold out. The show will have significantly more attendees than Bound For Glory, which will have 1,100 or so fans.
The Young Bucks' "Cease and Desist" shirt is coming to Hot Topic due to its success so far. WWE's action somewhat backfired in that sense.
Impact had visa issues with Rockstar Spud. They actually got everything settled legally before he asked for his release upon returning to the United States. Hopefully everything's in order if he ends up working WWE.
Brie Bella returning to the ring is only a short-term plan, as she wants to focus on motherhood. I wonder if her wrestling again is a pitch from E! to have a storyline on her shows and for WWE to have opportunities to promote "Total Bellas."
Jim Ross' autobiography could be turned into a movie. That idea has serious potential.
WWE announced WarGames' rules. Someone there REALLY likes shark cages. I look forward to seeing how it all plays out.
The Raw 25th anniversary pre-sale at the Manhattan Center sold out in less than a minute. It's a really hot ticket.
Nia Jax modeled in New York, which WWE promoted. It looks like everything's OK in that relationship now.
Jinder Mahal vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship is set for Smackdown from the UK. I'd LOVE to see AJ vs. Lesnar, but I don't expect that will happen.
Brandi Rhodes will be part of E!'s "WAGS Atlanta" this coming season. So, she'll be getting herself and ROH some press there.
WWE is presenting the World Series Champions with a custom championship belt. That's pretty cool.
NXT names did some Cirque du Soleil style workouts. That's pretty cool.
The Rock was part of a Make-A-Wish moment on set of a movie.

Nia Jax is working Raw's UK tour. She teamed with Alexa Bliss to lose to Sasha Banks and Bayleyon November 2.
Mark Andrews and Dan Maloney beat Joseph Conners and Tyson T-Bone on Raw's November 2 show.
At a Smackdown live event in Ireland:
- A lot of fans were given ticket upgrades to fill a lower section of the arena.
- Jordan Devlin and Tucker defeated Trent Seven and Tyler Bate
- The Colons worked as babyfaces, teaming with Breezango to defeat The Bludgeon Brothers and The Ascension after Konnor and Viktor turned on Breezango following the four men saving the UK talent from a beatdown from Harper and Rowan. That's pretty interesting - were The Ascension behind the Fashion Files events after all?
Impact Wrestling released another referee, by that referee's request. It looks like they're just going to use local referees for each set of tapings rather than having a regular crew.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. OH MY GOD I hope they do. Some of them could be amazing.
1. OH MY GOD I hope they do. Some of them could be amazing.
2. It'd be pretty bad if private suites/front row tickets were available just hours before the show! I think Raw was so shocked and taken by surprise, they wanted to plan their next moves. After all, a lot of the "siegers" will be in the ring at Survivor Series. Raw can get plenty of revenge then.
3. Kane had been gone nearly a year. WWE is rebuilding him as a top opponent for someone like Roman or Braun. Finn took three chokeslams before the pinfall. By Mania season this will almost certainly be forgotten, but it's the latest clickbait for people who think they know the business better than Vince.
4. No matter whom Kane beat, someone would complain. Destroying three local jobbers wouldn't have meant anything compared to beating a former champion. They can still do Demon vs. Demon. Overreation City on this one.
5. I wouldn't rule it out! They could have four Raw competitors and four Smackdown competitors compete on a Network special event in order to give someone (probably Alexa) the honor.
More wrestling tomorrow.
