Cathy Kelley made the Best Dressed list at the People's Choice Awards.

The Bella Twins challenged the Kardashians to a wrestling match.

Mojo Rawley is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

WWE names will work ICW's December 2 event as Noam Dar, Wolfgang, and BT Gunn face British Strong Style.

- Killian Dain appeared on their November 11 show, defeating Mikey Whiplash. He's already being farmed out instead of appearing on Smackdown Live. I hope we see more of SAnitY going forward. They're really enjoyable.

William Regal showed an X-ray of his neck after his wrestling career. OOUUUUCCCHHHH.

WWE put over WrestleMania 34's economic impact for New Orleans.

MLB's New York Mets will hold a WWE Night the night before WrestleMania.

Harper was recently seen in a cast, so he's dealing with an injury of some sort. That would explain why WWE hasn't used him on TV after Rowan's injury.

Titus Worldwide and Mickie James visited veterans before Raw. I've lost track of whether TWW is still a thing, but they're all being used for appearances regardless.

Mixed Match Challenge's winners will enter No. 30 in their respective Royal Rumbles, as well as receiving a vacation anywhere in the world. I like tying the event into Rumble hype.

Cody updated his injury status, confirming he'll compete at Final Battle and WrestleKingdom. We'll see what the early part of 2019 looks like for him after visiting with doctors again.

Shawn Michaels and Nita Strauss are on Edge and Christian's podcast on its new home at Westwood One.

MLW's Thursday TV taping was the best show in company history as far as attendance, live event gate, and merchandise sales. They're certainly making a name for themselves.

MLW's TV station had a team at the most recent TV taping, getting material to show in a number of ways. UFC's Julianna Pena was also at the taping.

MLW is working on having a tryout soon.

Ric Flair is believed to be appearing on Smackdown Live tonight, presumably as part of the Survivor Series build. I'd love to see him interact with Becky Lynch, personally. 

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Shayna and Charlotte seem to be the two most logical picks, with one of the two winning the Royal Rumble for the opportunity.

2. He will absolutely continue to be paid his downside guarantee, as well as royalties from merchandise, etc. It's way too early to talk about retirement, but I think he'd have to wait out the remainder of his contract before working somewhere else.

3. To some degree they've already done it with the Rollins/Ambrose feud. I wouldn't be shocked to see them play it up more if they want to add more heat to things.

4. It will all depend on what they have going on at the time, but there are certainly plausible scenarios where she'd lose the championship without being pinned or submitted. Honestly they could have Stephanie McMahon strip her of the title or something to continue their feud.

5. They don't want to risk her getting hurt worse at Survivor Series, so she's not wrestling there. This way she can still be featured in a big way.

More wrestling tomorrow.
