Another NJPW U.S. show, AEW names wrestling in DDT, WWE rechedules canceled date, 205 Live name heading to Germany, who was in charge of this weekend's 24/7 matches, Pat Buck's last pre-WWE date, Cain wrestling update, international dates, EVOLVE 134 notes, ROH injury, and Questions on Flair keeping the Big Gold Belt, if EVOLVE names are signed to WWE deals, the UWF, and more World Class on the Network

NJPW will run California on November 9 for New Japan Showdown. The venue seats 2,850, so that's a decent size but nothing huge.

Kenny Omega and Riho are teaming in DDT on November 3, facing Antonio Honda and Miyu Yamashita. AEW talent are able to take outside international dates. I'm curious how much more we'll see in this vein.

WWE's August 24 Louisiana live event has been rescheduled for January 17. I'm glad they're acknowledging tickets that were sold for the canceled show.

Oney Lorcan will work wXw's October 6 event, facing Timothy Thatcher. I have a feeling these crossovers will stop when NXT hits USA, since indications are "developmental" deals are being phased out.

The 24/7 matches this weekend were produced by Bruce Prichard and Adam Pearce.

Pat Buck's final independent show will be September 14, as he teams with Anthony Bowens and Matt MacIntosh against SoCal Uncensored. Interesting he's getting to compete with AEW talents before becoming a WWE producer!

Cain Velasquez met with NJPW officials at a Super J-Cup event. Wow. That would be an interesting fit, especially given Cain wrestling for AAA.

Jeff Cobb is booked for a Philippines event on October 12.

Tennille Dashwood and Summer Rae are booked for an Australian show on October 16.

At EVOLVE 134:
- Atruro Ruas lost to Anthony Henry
- Matt Riddle and Curt Stallion lost to AR Fox and Leon Ruff in an EVOLVE Tag Team Championship match
- Austin Theory retained the EVOLVE Championship in a triple threat match with JD Drake and Josh Briggs
- Drew Gulak retained the Cruiserweight Championship against Kushida.

PCO needed seventeen stitches to close a gash above his eye after missing a dive at ROH's August 24 event. He takes an insane amount of punishment.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. So, in those days there was a $25,000 deposit on the physical championship belt so a talent had incentive to make sure plans were followed/the title made it to the next town, etc. Flair wasn't going to give the belt back until he got his money back, so WWF advertised him as champion!

2. I don't follow her outside-the-ring endeavors.

3. Obviously there are some NXT/WWEPC names working the shows and a lot of people there have WWE aspirations, but most of the people on EVOLVE cards aren't under any kind of WWE deal. That said, there's an understanding that WWE gets first dibs on EVOLVE-signed talent if another party is interested. EVOLVE will let a talent out of their contract to sign to WWE, but will only let an EVOLVE name go elsewhere if WWE passes on them.

4. I expect that's the end of the project, since it has been so long since they've done anything.

5. If they think people will watch it, sure. I don't think they're going to put their whole library on the service unless there's demand for it. It takes time and resources to digitize so much footage!

6. Those were the days, huh?

More wrestling tomorrow.
