WWNLive vs. Flosports update, WWNLive streaming plans, LU back on Verizon service, CZW guests, Dreamer training, why Miz is no longer champion, NXT names at Raw, WWE announces European tour, WWF name writing autobiography, WWE Houston press, Raw audience, and Questions on NXT's treatment by WWE, Cesaro's mouthpiece, and booking Jordan

WWNLive is looking to move Flosports' lawsuit against them from Texas to Florida, where WWNLive is based and runs most of its shows. WWNLive also disputes the misleading data at the center of the lawsuit, as that data was compiled by a third-party company. 

WWNLive is negotiating with other streaming services. They currently plan on airing events on the FITE app.

El Rey Network is returning to Verizon's FiOS service along with other Univision stations as part of a new deal. So, FiOS users will be able to see the fourth seasion of Lucha Underground when it premieres.

Jimmy Jacobs and Tim Storm have been announced for CZW's December 9 event, so Jacobs isn't exclusive to Impact and the NWA World Champion is getting further attention on the indie scene.

Tommy Dreamer will be part of the next seminar at Ken Anderson and Shawn Daivari's wrestling school, which could lead to students there heading to House of Hardcore at some point. With HOH's increased visibility, that's a good opportunity.

The Miz is taking time off to film a movie, hence his losing the Intercontinental Championship on Raw and taking a Cerberus Powerbomb through a table after the show. As great as Miz is, I'm OK with him taking some time off so he can return fresh. There's no timetable for him coming back to the ring at this time.

Ruby Riot and Liv Morgan were backstage at Raw. I'm curious how far in advance plans were made to debut all these NXT women.

The Miz talked on FOX News to promote his return to MTV

WWE announced a May 2018 European tour for Raw and Smackdown. It seems they're always planning their next international dates.

"Dangerous" Danny Davis is writing an autobiography set to release in April 2018.

WarGames got press in Houston, as did Naomi's car being burglarized. It's a shame someone took advantage of the show like that.

Raw drew 3.08 million viewers for the post-Survivor Series show, pretty close to the previous week. So, they didn't get much of a boost from the big show-closing angle.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.YEESSSS!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Talents have to make their way up the ranks. The only people disappointed when talents don't immediately make a big splash are the ones who have misunderstood the purpose of NXT. "Graduating" from NXT gives you a spot on the main roster. The roster needs lower card talents just as it needs main eventers. When Raw or Smackdown already have a lot of viable candidates to move up the card, the NXT callups have to start lower.

2. WWE has promoted a LOT of NXT talents. The roster has changed drastically since Triple H took over that area of the company, and a lot of NXT talents have held a lot of titles and appeared in a lot of big matches. The booking of NXT talents has really been misrepresented by people who have gotten so attached to key NXT talents that they've forgotten NXT is just a filler league to prepare people for Raw and Smackdown, two brands that already have a lot of important talents.

3. The mouthpiece definitely looks more badass than braces, and fits his gimmick better.

4. Wow. That idea coming from someone who complains at how NXT talents get misused? Way to make Jason look like a geek. What idiot turns down a title shot?? I absolutely would consider him turning heel, being upset that his dad doesn't believe in him and wanting to succeed to stick it to Kurt. Heck, have him join Triple H to seal the deal.

5. However much they could get someone to pay for it.

More wrestling tomorrow.
