Elite update, assorted WWE press, NXT Halloween battle royal, Interviews with Ronda/Angle/Matt Hardy/UE/Becky/Barnett, Lashley in 2K19, why Evolution looked so different, new Global Wars/ROH TV matches, SDL audience, Hogan hosting CJ, Survivor Series art coming, NXT UK names on WWE tour, and Questions on Rollins' finisher making him over, Brock getting the title back, Heyman on Creative, scripting social media interactions, and barring Ronda's armbar

Cody confirmed work on All In 2 during Chris Jericho's cruise. That would indicate he, the Young Bucks, and others won't be going to WWE.

The Bellas were on The View on Halloween.

NXT had a Halloween battle royal at a recent live event. I love stuff like this.

Ronda Rousey spoke to People.com. It sounds like her showing more personality and smiling is her doing rather than an order from someone higher up.

Bobby Lashley will be WWE 2K19 DLC.

Kurt Angle, Matt Hardy, and the Undisputed Era gave interviews at Ringside Fest.

Evolution was produced and directed by the NXT/Takeover crew, as the Raw and Smackdown Live staff were already setting up for Monday's TV taping. Vince McMahon was in Gorilla position for the show, but Kevin Dunn was not in attendance.

Global Wars has added:
- Cody vs. Mark Briscoe and Flip Gordon vs. Frankie Kazarian in Massachusetts
- Jeff Cobb vs. EVIL and Juice Robinson vs. Silas Young in New York
- Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky vs. The Bouncers and Jeff Cobb vs. Cheeseburger in Maine

ROH's TV taping Saturday has announced:
- Kelly Klein vs. Jenny Rose
- Christopher Daniels vs. Kenny King
- Jeff Cobb vs. Josh Woods
- Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky vs. CMLL's Stuka, Jr. and Guerrero Maya, Jr.
- Jay Lethal, Cody, and Dalton Castle vs. The Kingdom
- Flip Gordon vs. Silas Young
- Christmas Surprise 10-man tag match

Becky Lynch spoke to Sam Roberts and Jim Norton.

WWE showed some Asuka-inspired Halloween makeup. That's AMAZING.

Josh Barnett was interviewed for A Gentleman & A Scholar.

Smackdown Live drew 2.11 million viewers on Halloween, basically what they did the week before.

Hulk Hogan will host Crown Jewel, so WWE's throwing two PR issues together at once. Honestly in a way bringing back Hogan now is clever since people will be more or less distracted by the Saudi controversy.

Daniel Bryan and the Bellas will be on Facebook's "You Kiddin' Me?!"

Survivor Series is getting an art exhibit. That's an interesting idea.

The following names are notably advertised for WWE's upcoming UK tours:
- The Colons, challenging the Usos
- Nikki Bella, facing Natalya
- Alexa Bliss, teaming with Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan against Sasha Banks, Ember Moon, and Dana Brooke
- Curt Hawkins, facing Zack Ryder

The following NXT UK matches are set for Raw and Smackdown Live events in the UK:
- Mark Andrews vs. Wild Boar on November 3
- Wolfgang and The Coffey Brothers vs. British Strong Style on November 4 and November 5
- Ligero vs. Zack Gibson on November 6
- Saxon Huxley and Joseph Conners vs. Zack Gibson and James Drake on November 7
- Tyler Bate vs. Zack Gibson on November 8, November 9, and November 10
- Wolfgang vs. Kenny Williams on November 11

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think the Blackout helps Rollins get over, but it's certainly not the sole factor. He's a workhorse no matter what his finisher is.

2. Brock is likely going back to UFC unless Vince puts forth a LOT of money to keep him.

3. Not quite. He oversees some Brock-related segments, but, other than that, he's just a performer.

4. There are specific things they can and can't say, for sure, as well as things they're encouraged to do and say on Twitter. I strongly doubt everything they do online is written out for them. There are too many talents doing too many tweets for that to be the case.

5. On-screen "contracts" are pretty much blank checks for match types, etc. I'm sure they could have her win with her spinning slam if they don't want her to win via armbar, but most wrestlers end with the same move just like most bands end with the same song. It's what fans expect and are waiting for.

More wrestling coming up.
