All Out international airings, FFTF stage inspiration, assorted wrestling press, AEW injuries, Raw Reunion set, EVOLVE notes, and Questions on Seth and Becky's chemistry, Luchasaurus' background, HHH's last match, Booker wrestling again, and The Librarians

All Out will air on ITV Box Office in the UK and FITE.TV in other international countries.

Fight For The Fallen's stage was inspired by South Park's wrestling episode. OK.... I didn't hate it. It was a neat change from the usual wrestling crowd setup.

Roman Reigns appeared at the "Hobbs & Shaw" premiere.

Dr. Britt Baker suffered a concussion at Fight For The Fallen. I hope that she recovers soon and this doesn't mean we don't see Bea Priestley again.

The Miz had a special Philadelphia-themed T-shirt for Extreme Rules. I can see this being tried out in different cities.

MJF is believed to have suffered an elbow injury at Fight For The Fallen. Further details are unknown at this time. That would definitely be unfortunate as he just starts getting big exposure in AEW.

The Rock posted a picture of Andre the Giant with "High Chief" Peter Maivia. That's cool!

Rocky Johnson's memoir got press.

"Raw Reunion" is set for July 22's episode and will feature:
- The Boogeyman
- Christian
- D-Von Dudley
- Eric Bischoff
- Hulk Hogan
- Jerry Lawler
- Jimmy Hart
- Kevin Nash
- Kurt Angle
- Ric Flair
- Santino Marella
- Scott Hall
- Sgt. Slaughter
- Shawn Michaels
- Stone Cold Steve Austin
- Ted DiBiase
-- I can't help but think this is a panic button move, along with Brock becoming champion again, to address audience levels.

At EVOLVE 132:
- Babatunde defeated Joe Gacy by DQ
- Arturo Ruas and Austin Theory defeated Josh Briggs and Orange Cassidy
- Johnny Gargano cut a promo endorsing Josh Briggs
- Matt Riddle defeated Curt Stallion

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I could see it being awkward for them to play out their real relationship on-screen. I think they work well as a duo, but I can see the argument that their characters being a couple holds back what made them great individually.

2. He was in FCW and NXT for a bit, then popped back up in Lucha Underground.

3. I don't expect him to retire anytime soon, and I expect it to be against an up-and-comer.

4. He did a match in January for the first time in about three years. Unless there's a really big opportunity for him to do something for his local promotion or Saudi Arabia throws him a bunch of money, I don't expect it to happen.

5. So the "joke" is that The Elite came up with a character they knew would have a hard time getting over and did auditions for it, with Peter Avalon and Leva Bates being selected. It's part of The Elite's webseries.

More wrestling tomorrow.
