Will Ospreay has returned to the ring following being held off a recent show. It's believed he suffered a stinger.

Harley Race has canceled all upcoming appearances as he continues to recover in the hospital. A fundraiser has been set up to help him deal with medical expenses.

Raw has announced a live event for September 14 in Georgia. This is the night before Night of Champions. The show is currently advertising Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin and Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans, but I suspect both matches will be changed given the Extreme Rules match stipulation.

Cedric Alexander celebrated ten years as a wrestler. Hopefully he has quite a few more!

Braun Strowman has signed with WWE for another four years. We'll see if he can take the Universal and/or WWE Championships in that time.

Eric Bischoff has officially begun his job at WWE's office in Connecticut. He will be on the road at next week's TV.

Finn Balor has returned to Ireland, so it looks like his time off has begun. I'm curious what The Fiend does next.

The Rock was recently at the WWE Performance Center. It's unknown what he was doing there.

- Sami Zayn worked out at the WWE Performance Center recently.

Seth Rollins promoted Raw Reunion:
- Good to see him give Corbin props like that.

- Seth heeling his critics was based.

- Poor FCW! It didn't get nearly the resources NXT is getting.

Smackdown Live drew 2.12 million viewers, significantly up from last week's 1.85 million. Good to see.

ROH's Sunday TV taping has added Kenny King vs. Dragon Lee. That should be very interesting!

Summer Supercard has added Kelly Klein vs. Tasha Steelz for the WOH Championship. I suspect Maria Manic will have an eye on that one.

Drake Maverick vs. Mike Kanellis has been set for 205 Live. Glad to see that happening.

WWE Network's next Hidden Gems are the Best of ECW 1992 videos and an ECW TV pilot from November 1992. Wow, that's really going way back!

Ronda Rousey interviewed D-Von Dudley.

Jushin "Thunder" Liger is set for Defy's August 23 event in Washington. More NJPW stars will be added. This show is during a day off from the Super J Cup.

Impact's Friday TV taping has added:
- Jordynne Grace vs. Keira Hogan
- Rob Van Dam vs. Willie Mack
- Rich Swann vs. Jake Crist for the X-Division Championship
- The North vs. The Rascalz' Dez and Wentz for the Impact Tag Team Championship

WWE is seeking both a vice president and a director for its talent brand management department. That's a great idea for part of the company!

Shawn Spears has challenged Cody to a match at All Out. Tully Blanchard is managing Spears, which adds some historical significance to the match. Cody has really paid homage to the past with his contributions to AEW.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I decided not to watch/cover EVOLVE's show, as I don't want to stretch myself too thin, nor do I want to dilute the blog with it covering promotions that aren't on a big enough platform. If EVOLVE becomes a regular WWE Network fixture, I'll reevaluate.

2 was specific to PWInsider, so I don't have anything to add.

3. I see why people think that, and I also see why companies would want the babyface to come out after the heel or something else specific.

4. I haven't seen her, but hopefully she'll pop up on a bigger stage and I can see what she's made of.

5. There's a reason the venue was shaded as a bingo hall, etc.

More wrestling tomorrow.
