More Survivor Series notes, WWE injury update, E! show pre-empted, Survivor Series 2019 location, Rey trademarks new ring name, Arquette press release, Staples Center donates in Roman's honor, and Questions on staying hydrated, who could have been world champion in Hulk's day, Becky 3:16, putting the Mania main event on the line at Survivor Series, and making Alexa GM while he recovers

Stone Cold put over Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair from Survivor Series.

Kalisto's "injury" at Survivor Series was just a way to put Gran Metalik in the match so all three members of Lucha House Party could compete. It looks like LHP is staying on Raw, for better or worse.

Tito Ortiz, Ric Flair, Mark Henry, Candice Michelle, Darren Young, Lilian Garcia, and Falling In Reverse's Ronnie Radke were backstage at Survivor Series.

- Dean Ambrose and Becky Lynch were also backstage, but not used on camera.

"Total Divas" will be pre-empted this week due to Thanksgiving.

Survivor Series week events in 2019 will be in Illinois, from Smackdown Live on November 22 through Raw on November 25. Hopefully SDL does better next year when they're on FOX?

- WWE put out an official press release.

Rey Mysterio has trademarked the term "Principe Mysterio," which is expected to be his son's ring name. That will probably work better globally than "El Hijo del Rey Mysterio."

Stephanie McMahon worked with Girl Up at Survivor Series.

David Arquette commented on this weekend's death match. It sounds like he's making sure anyone outside the wrestling bubble who saw the footage knew this was not a normal wrestling event, and there are promotions for them to see that are more in line with a traditional wrestling experience.

Survivor Series week's venue donated $10,000 to fight childhood cancer on behalf of Roman Reigns.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. They definitely make sure to be as physically prepared as possible when they prepare to step in the ring.

2. Given how Brock Lesnar is booked, who's to say things would be that different?

3. It can definitely be a pivotal moment for her. As always, followup will be key. With Charlotte turning heel, they might treat Becky as a face going forward and build to a WrestleMania match with Ronda. They could really have something special on their hands if they make the right moves.

4. That sounds great in theory but I like there being some flexibility with the Mania main event in case something gets unexpectedly hot and deserves that spot. I will say there are times when rivals work together for a common cause in real life (World War II's alliance between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. comes to mind), but obviously that bond's a LOT deeper than a brand many people have hardly spent much time on.

5. They could definitely do that if they wanted to, although I agree it would suggest she's in a similar position as Paige as far as returning to the ring.

More wrestling tomorrow.
