Kane opening wrestling school, GFW promoting NJPW, WWE roster change, Interviews with Murphy/Charlotte/Matt Hardy/Aries/Y2J, Rey booked for SDL live events, Cena appearances, Kelley-AMAs, Owens missing time, Edge's SD1000 role, Takeover VIP experience, big Connor's Cure donation, SDL audience, Hispanic Hidden Gems, another SD1000 name, NXT live event postponed, and Questions on Shotgun Saturday Night on the Network, Ellering leaving the Authors, Owens "quitting," and Harper as U.S. Champion

Kane and Dr. Tom Prichard are opening a wrestling school in Tennessee. That's awesome! Prichard worked for FCW for quite a while. I just hope Kane can juggle being mayor as well as this new big responsibility.

GFW is working to put together travel packages for Wrestle Kingdom 13. This doesn't look to be a collaboration with NJPW as much as taking advantage of the timing of their signature event.

Mike Kanellis and Maria Kanellis have moved to 205 Live. Mike debuted by attacking Lince Dorado during a match with Lio Rush, so he'll seemingly work with the Lucha House Party right out of the gate.

Buddy Murphy spoke in Australia after becoming Cruiserweight Champion.

Charlotte Flair promoted Evolution.

Matt Hardy is on Jim Ross' latest podcast.

Austin Aries is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast.

Rey Mysterio is booked for Smackdown Live live events on October 20, October 21, October 22, November 3, November 4, and November 5. I assume the plan is for him to work all live events for the brand at some point.

John Cena read from his children's book on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

- Cena was also on the latest Sports Illustrated podcast.

Cathy Kelley worked the American Music Awards red carpet on behalf of WWE. She's been stellar in that role.

AJ Styles will have a graphic novel coming July 2019. That should be good.

Kevin Owens is taking time off for minor knee surgery, hence the injury angle on Raw. He's really been a workhorse for the company.

Edge will host Cutting Edge on Smackdown 1000. No guest has been specified, but I'm intrigued.

Takeover: WarGames will have a VIP experience.

Pat McAfee donated $10,000 to Connor's Cure. That's really great.

Chris Jericho spoke with Larry King.

Smackdown Live drew 2.14 million viewers Tuesday night, a slight increase from last week.

WWE Network's latest Hidden Gems are:
- Carlos Colon vs. Johnny Rodz from WWWF in 1977
- Konnan (as Latin Fury) vs. Art Barr from WWF in 1992
- Super Crazy (as Super Loco) vs. El Hijo del Santo from WWF in 1998
- Eddie Guerrero vs. Nova (Simon Dean) from OVW in 2002

Michelle McCool has been added to Smackdown 1000, likely setting up something for Evolution. I'd love to see Laycool vs. The IIconics, but I don't expect that to happen.

NXT's October 11 Florida live event has been postponed to November 30 due to Hurricane Michael. It's going to be a tough time for the Sunshine State.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1 is a repeat.

2. To some degree it's a matter of how much demand they think there is for the show in comparison to other content they could put up. As other material is uploaded, that show will theoretically move up the priority list.

3. Apparently they want him to stay in NXT, although obviously they haven't used him since the Authors were promoted.

4. It makes me wonder if the plan was for him to take time off for surgery then, but it was delayed. At the time I saw it as a way for Owens to surprise Lashley with the quick return.

5. If you do that, someone will inevitably say WWE is burying Shinsuke. They can't please everyone. Certainly they can do something special with Harper, but he could use a reboot at this point.

More wrestling tomorrow.
