Batista's WWE 24 episode is debuting after Raw.

EVOLVE's 10th anniversary broadcast is set for three hours on WWE Network.

Ricochet will appear on WWE Chronicle following the EVOLVE broadcast.

Jerry Lawler's former podcast partner has been accused of scamming fans who were trying to purchase Lawler-created artwork and other Lawler merchandise. Lawler is pledging to make amends for the situation.

- Lawler also publicly commented on Twitter: Tweet 1 Tweet 2

R-Truth is on Edge and Christian's latest podcast.

Batista is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast.

Mike Quackenbush is on Sam Roberts' latest podcast.

AEW's Darby Allin and ROH's Jonathan Gresham are set for PWG's Battle of Los Angeles, so both companies are still allowing talent to work there.

MLW has set their first PPV for November 2 from Illinois. Currently it is set for U.S. and Canadian cable and satellite providers, with the company working on streaming rights. The company continues to expand its offerings.

Raw has set Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns and a partner of Shane McMahon's choosing. If The Undertaker interferes with that match, he will be moved from his Extreme Rules match. I'll pop if Shane picks Dean Ambrose as Roman's partner, with Dean not showing up, but I expect it will be Elias or someone else aligned with Shane.

Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss will kick off a Connor's Cure fundraiser in New York and New Jersey.

Roman Reigns commented on whether AEW is competition. If they're offering competitive contracts and a competitive amount of work, I think it's safe to call them competition as far as talent is concerned. It's insane to expect them to make hundreds of millions of dollars a year like WWE does, obviously, but it's clear there are a lot of fans interested in the AEW product.

Jerry Lawler has been announced for Starrcast III. I'm curious if that will affect his WWE standing at all.

Jon Moxley discussed the differences between WWE and NJPW and more:
- I hope the statement about Moxley and Juice in FCW was meant to convey the two of them first met there, rather than suggesting Moxley began his career there. It's either poorly worded or an egregious error that shouldn't have been printed.

- It's got to be a big change going in and out of having the level of micromanagement WWE has.

- It's pretty wild that he's jumping into NJPW head first as far as so many matches so quickly.

- WWE can definitely be tough on the full-timers.

- Interesting that WWE names are wishing Moxley well. I doubt WWE approves.

Sami Callihan spoke before Slammiversary:
- I'm sorry, I can't but Sami as one of the hottest acts outside of WWE given the crowds Impact pulls compared to NJPW, AEW, AAA, CMLL, etc.

- Really? A household name? From ROH, EVOLVE, and CZW????? Callihan had and has a good following, but let's be real here. The man has 92,000 Twitter followers even after his Impact exposure.

- Sami does work really hard at a lot of dates.

- I also think he's benefited from getting out of the WWE system.

- I can't help but think Sami vs. Tessa is kind of a gimmick to get people talking about Impact as it meanders on Pursuit.

- Honestly yeah Impact does have pretty good PPVs.

- Haha being on Twitch is NOT a big thing. They get like 10,000 viewers there.

- Pursuit doesn't get involved with Impact storylines because they don't care about Impact.

LAX lost the Impact Tag Team Championship to The North at Bash at the Brewery. Slammiversary will now feature a triple threat match for the title with The North vs. LAX vs. The Rascalz' Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz. It's easy to look at that and think it means Impact expects LAX to leave for AEW or NXT, which is a definite possibility. It will be interesting to see where things go from here.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I wouldn't expect that to be the case, particularly on TV, given the dangers involved and the fact it could hurt WWE with certain audiences and sponsors.

2. I could see him winning either world title, but ultimately it's going to be Vince's call. We'll see.

3. She hasn't wrestled in 25 years that I can find.

4. It's possible it happens at some point if both sides see it as worth their while.

5. I don't expect it to happen, since AEW barred Moxley from wrestling their Texas show and didn't acknowledge his championship at Fyter Fest. The two sides aren't working together; it's more of a case of AEW being in charge of wrestlers' U.S. appearances and NJPW being in charge of their Japanese appearances.

More wrestling tomorrow.
