Beyond Wrestling has signed a multiple-year streaming deal with Powerbomb.TV. That promotion is based out of New England.

The Global Wrestling Network will now feature Future Stars of Wrestling as well as DEFY Wrestling. DEFY featured Sami Callihan vs. Randy Myers on this week's Impact Wrestling. So, Anthem is continuing to build relationships with outside promotions in order to get more content. That's hopefully beneficial for all sides.

Smackdown drew 2.68 million viewers this week, pretty much identical with last week's number.

Lio Rush has removed references to WWE and NXT from his social media accounts, leading to speculation of him having left the company. He remains employed as of this writing.

WWE is selling replicas of the WWE Championship and United Kingdom Championship. I can't imagine spending $900 for one, but apparently some people are willing to!

Aro Lucha is set to be more family-friendly than Lucha Underground, with no blood and less heavy violence.

LU's Angelico is leaving AAA, moving to Spain in January. This presumably ends his work in that company.

LU is looking for more female cast members for the fourth season, specially scouting at a Rise event.

Cody and the Young Bucks are looking to fill a 10,000 seat venue in 2018, financing the event themselves. This may or may not be in conjunction with ROH. Outside of WWE, no United States wrestling show has drawn 10,000 fans since WCW went out of business. ROH drew 3,500 for the Supercard of Honor event with the Hardys, but that's a long way from the number they're seeking.

The Young Bucks had the most successful merchandise sales at Hot Topic during Thanksgiving week. That's incredibly impressive.

Impact Wrestling currently has no plans for a live episode during the January TV tapings, despite that being the case in previous years. However, the company will likely build toward a major episode during those tapings.

Batista has discussed a final run in WWE, including live events. Maybe on the road to Wrestlemania 35? Batista's film career will be an important determining factor on the timing.

Kurt Angle should be able to return to action shortly from a strained quadriceps muscle. It was initially feared to be torn, so this is a nice development. 

AJ Styles will be on the next "WWE 365." The first episode was well-received.

Sgt. Slaughter will be at Tribute to the Troops. That's pretty cool.

Naomi has storyline injuries after the attack by the Riott Squad, namely a separated shoulder and contusions to her face. I'm glad we're getting to see some of those NXT women get a spotlight.

Added to Final Battle:
- The Hung Bucks vs. Flip Gordon and CMLL's Dragon Lee and Titan for the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship
- Matt Taven vs. Will Ospreay

The Rock is on the cover of next week's Entertainment Weekly. He can be really funny without the silly WWE catchphrases.

Christian discussed Chris Jericho vs. Kenny Omega and more. That's a big match for NJPW.

Vanguard1's Twitter account has become active again, suggesting he'll be joining Matt Hardy in WWE soon. Matt Hardy then released a video getting help from Senor Benjamin. I can only imagine what's next in all of this.

Tony Nese, Drew Gulak, Mustafa Ali, and Cedric Alexander will face off in a fatal four way match of Raw, with the winner facing Rich Swann on the December 11 Raw to be the next number one contender to Enzo Amore.

Smackdown will have a live event in Delaware on January 29, the night after Royal Rumble.

Ford has sued John Cena over a custom car he was supposed to keep for two years as an ambassador to their brand, but quickly sold. Cena has stated he is willing to work with Ford on the matter. I'm glad it's being settled in a civil matter.

The Hype Bros remained as a unit on Smackdown's live event in Peru, losing in a triple threat tag team match that saw the Bludgeon Brothers win and also featured Sin Cara teaming with Tye Dillinger. I'm not sure why they went that route after Smackdown unless they didn't think the audience had seen that week's episode.

At an NXT live event in Florida:
- Lio Rush defeated Adrian Jaoude in Lio's return to live events.
- Raw's Mandy Rose teamed with Lavey Evans to defeat Aliyah and Jessie Elaban. Absolution and The Riott Squad are still working NXT shows for the time being. Ruby Riott defeated Bianca Belair in Pennsylvania, while Sonya Deville lost to Ember Moon on the same show.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. If WWE thinks that event name will draw a bigger crowd, I can see them doing it. It's all up to if someone will push the idea and get it accepted by Vince. Maybe the closest live event to Halloween next year can feature Raw and Smackdown talent with that theme?

2. Not that I'm aware of. If WWE was going to that match again, they'd probably make their own version.

3. It could happen at some point once he's fully done with the business, but he definitely isn't one to rehash the past. We got the big documentary on him; that might be all that ends up happening.

4. It all depends on what kind of wrestling and which companies you want to watch!

5. BROTHAH NERO WILL RETURN FROM THE LAKE OF REINCARNATION AT SOME POINT AFTAH THE YEAH 2017 FADES AWAY AND CLASSIFIES ITSELF AS OBSOLETE! HE WILL BRING HIS SPOTMONKEY WAYS TO THE ENTERTAINMENT OF WRESTLING AROUND THE WORLD!

More wrestling tomorrow.
