Lio Rush released a music video. He remains under WWE contract, but there doesn't seem to be any movement toward using him again.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon appeared on a Showtime episode discussing Rick Rubin's love of pro wrestling. Rubin of course was involved with SMW.

Variety covered Vince McMahon's conference call remarks.

Jerry Lawler and Trish Stratus will be on Smackdown Live for an edition of The King's Court. I expect Charlotte Flair to make an appearance there.

Smackdown Live has announced:
- Finn Balor vs. Dolph Ziggler (this was before Finn was pulled from Smackville)
- Big E and Xavier Woods vs. Drew McIntyre and Elias

Impact has set TV tapings for New York on November 7 and November 8.

Ronda Rousey interviewed Paige. That's an interesting combination!

Mandy Rose talked about working with Sonya Deville and more. Glad to see Mandy put over the IIconics for helping her in NXT.

C.M. Punk's recent interviewer responded to Cody's speculation that Punk was misquoted. I think Cody was trying to be diplomatic rather than saying Punk lied about the extent of communication between Punk and AEW.

Joey Janela's final GCW appearance is set for September 30. Janela will then be a full-time AEW star.

Pro Wrestling EVE announced its stars entering a trade union. That's great!

Finn Balor missed Smackville due to dealing with an illness. It's unknown if he will still appear on this week's Smackdown Live.

Eric Young worked his first Raw live event since June 2 Saturday night, teaming with Robert Roode, EC3, and Mojo Rawley in a loss to The Lucha House Party and No Way Jose. I can see EY transitioning into being a producer or coach at some point.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I don't expect it to happen. AEW would rather hold out until they run the market on their own in front of hopefully a larger crowd than tag their brand to an less-successful joint event. There's also the feeling that AEW is willing to help other companies out in markets they aren't currently running (Mexico, for instance), but not in the U.S. where AEW is looking to run its own shows.

2. Batista would make a lot of sense if he's available. The Rock is also an option, but they'll probably wait until the next WrestleMania in Miami to try to induct him.

3. They teased a return in April, but obviously nothing has come of it.

4. I expect the show was put together pretty quickly and they went with easily available talents. I don't know if there's interest in using Bob Holly again.

5. I swear someone did the gimmick of an angry former postal worker in the '90s after the infamous "going postal" shooting, but obviously it didn't stick around.

More wrestling coming up.
