Triple H discussed doing a major show in the UK. If someone offers WWE tens of millions of dollars to do a big show there, WWE will definitely be in a bigger hurry to return.

Saraya Knight is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

James Ellsworth is scheduled for Smackdown 1000, which is pretty interesting following his Bound For Glory appearance. I wonder how far in advance each appearance was planned.

- Mark Henry has also been added to the show.

WWE has new shaker cups from G-Fuel.

WWE and Mattel have a Survivor Series sweepstakes.

Drew McIntyre spoke to DDP. I'm glad he's rebounded after his previous WWE run.

Announced for Impact Wrestling Thursday night:
- Trevor Lee vs. Ethan Page
- Allie vs. Alisha Edwards

PJ Black, formerly Justin Gabriel, will compete in Survival of the Fittest. It's good to see special names in the mix.

Daniel Bryan spoke to MLB.com to promote Royal Rumble

Renee Young, Nia Jax, and Corey Graves filmed an episode of Ride Along.

Charlotte Flair promoted Evolution with Yahoo! Sports.

Nikki Cross took part in DDP Yoga recently.

Charlotte Flair was honored at the Girl Hero Awards.

Tetsuya Naito has been announced for the 2018 Global Wars tour, which will run from November 7 through November 11.

Dolph Ziggler has a comedy date booked Survivor Series weekend.

Jerry Lynn and Mikey Whipwreck are launching a podcast together. Presumably ECW will be a focal point.

Crown Jewel is once more being advertised for Saudi Arabia on WWE.com. So, the odds are heavily in favor of the event going on as planned.

WWE has trademarked "Lightning Fist" for clothing purposes. So, the Sixth Move of Doom is going to be represented in merchandise soon.

Rey Mysterio is now being advertised for:
- Smackdown Live on November 13, November 20, November 27, December 4, and December 29
- Survivor Series on November 18
- Starrcade on November 24
- TLC on December 16
-- WWE advertised him as "full-time," so we'll see if he's added to regular live event rotation.

Mauro Ranallo is no longer under contract to Bellator. He is seeking work in MMA broadcasting.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. They are definitely getting heat, both from members of the United States Senate and from the press.

2. They are feeling pressure, but they're risking hundreds of millions of dollars over the next ten years if they don't fulfill this deal.

3. Honestly as much as the Saudis are paying for the show, it wouldn't shock me if WWE put them over again.

4. WWE could hypothetically do that, but the Saudis are the ones paying for the show, so I don't see it happening.

5. Yes, WWE would just travel on land after flying in from a nearby country. The show is going on as planned barring something amazingly disruptive happening.

More wrestling tomorrow.
