Main Event Reax - 8/31/18, Interview with Owens, more on Dream/EVOLVE, Interviews with Maverick/Conrad/AJ Styles, assorted wrestling press, WWE Japan live event notes, Impact audience, and Questions on Tammy Sytch, Owens quitting, Owen in the HoF, and Chucky and Robocop in WCW

--Main Event:
- NWJ vs. Breeze:
Fine start.

I like this becoming more serious now.

Not bad at all! Both men get to shine. 

- Ruby vs. Ember:
I've missed Ruby after seeing Sarah and Liv without her.

Solid enough.

Both of them can deliver.

Good, but I'm starting to think Liv and Sarah are holding Ruby back. 

Kevin Owens discussed his dream WM35 opponent. That could indeed be a good feud. It's interesting Owens puts Balor ahead of Zayn on the friend scale given the history between the two Montreal natives.

Gabe Sapolsky addressed Velveteen Dream coming to EVOLVE. I kind of wish they would have kept up the kayfabe...

Drake Maverick is on Edge and Christian's latest podcast. I can't help but wish he was working with EC3 in NXT. It would be a more meaningful use for both of them.

Conrad Thompson is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast to discuss Jericho's WWF debut.

Hulk Hogan is in a music video. Pretty fitting.

Ultimate Warrior has a statue coming out from Sideshow Collectibles.

John Cena's "Ferdinand" is debuting on HBO tonight. So much for watching All In, right?

AJ Styles was on WWE's Middle Eastern studio show.

At Raw's Japan live event on August 30:
- Akira Tozawa was in a cruiserweight championship match with Cedric Alexander and Drew Gulak. Cedric retained.
- Kairi Sane teamed with Sasha Banks and Bayley to defeat The Riott Squad. Good to see her there. I'm surprised they didn't book Io Shirai, too.

Sasha Banks and Bayley toured a soccer training facility.

Impact Wrestling drew 225,000 viewers for their Redefined special, marking five straight weeks below 250,000 for the first time in series history.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I deliberately don't follow this, as it's not related to wrestling.

2. We'll see what Constable Corbin has to say about his status on Raw!

3. That chance remains very small. Martha's grudge isn't with wrestling as a whole. It's with WWE.

4. Chucky needs to enter the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame along with David Arquette.

5. I think a stuntman did. He also needs to go into the Hall of Fame! Bring the Muppets, too.

More wrestling tomorrow.
