More GRR fallout, NXT woman introduces new move, WWE charity work, WWE Network 2.0 in the works, Vader health update, Roberts drops charges against Davey, Jr., NXT signs wrestler for a second time, and a Question on WWE in Saudi Arabia

Triple H and Kofi Kingston put over Saudi Arabia. Hopefully it was a positive experience for the fans and leads to greater acceptance of the West.

Kairi Sane debuted a new submission move. That could definitely add to her repertoire.

Stephanie McMahon did work for Connor's Cure.

Alexa Bliss and Natalya appeared at a Make-A-Wish Gala.

WWE Network is undergoing changes to be more personalized, using data from purchasing merchandise and tickets. George Barrios discussed this at a recent conference.

BBC covered Saudi Arabia cutting the GRR broadcast due to a commercial showing women.

Vader had another big doctor's appointment. I hope he's able to live as painlessly as possible for as long as possible.

Jake Roberts dropped charges against Davey Boy Smith, Jr. after the two sides spoke over the phone. Bret Hart got the two of them in touch. The initial WrestleCon centered around comments Roberts had made about Davey, Sr. Davey, Jr. approached Roberts at the show to talk about the comments. After Jake declined to discuss them, Davey, Jr. asked Roberts to step outside. Roberts didn't do so, and Smith threw a cup of coffee at him. Thankfully it's all settled now. I'd like to see the two of them work together so Jake can pass knowledge on to the emerging wrestler at some point.

NXT has re-signed Danny Burch. He finished his independent appearances Sunday. He was getting some pretty regular NXT bookings, so this isn't a compete surprise. I'm glad he's getting to work there again.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com question: Without going into the discussion about gun rights and the war in Iraq, as both are beyond the scope of a wrestling blog, I think Dave has a pretty insightful take here as far as having spoken to talents involved. I hope we do see positive change in the region as a result of WWE's business there.
