MVP was visiting at WWE's SuperShow live event on August 17.

Sheamus is in Malaysia promoting WWE. That's one way to work for the company while not being in the ring!

WCW Saturday Night episodes from January 9, 1993 through March 22, 1993 have been added to WWE Network.

Tonight's King of the Ring first round matches are:
- Samoa Joe vs. Cesaro
- Sami Zayn vs. Cedric Alexander

Tomorrow's King of the Ring first round matches are:
- Andrade vs. Apollo Crews
- Kevin Owens vs. Elias

-- So, it looks like the first round will be split across two weeks. That's a good pace.

Daffney disclosed having a growth in her neck causing pain and numbness. I hope she gets that taken care of; it sounds unpleasant to say the least.

205 Live's Captain's Choice match has added Isaiah "Swerve" Scott to Oney Lorcan's team. Drew Gulak indicated someone will have to convince him to be his final teammate, which Tony Nese responded to. That's a clever move, and I like that the match has gotten hype every day from this stipulation.

- Bayley pitched being on Oney Lorcan's team, with Oney countering she could be a mascot since his team is full. Bayley responded to this offer. Oney's Twitter is an interesting place.

Smackdown Live has added Daniel Bryan vs. Buddy Murphy, which could really be good. I like WWE loosening the face/heel feud dynamic with this one and the Joe situation.

Heavy Machinery did a thumb wrestling match to promote Smackdown Live moving to FOX.

Mick Foley got press for helping a fan with cerebral palsy. Foley does a LOT of great stuff for charity.

Matt Taven replaced Rey Fenix at NEW's Friday night event when Fenix was unable to appear. This booking was done through ROH, and it's got to be seen as a win for that company that NEW wanted to use their world champion alongside all the AEW names.

Tony Schiavone has signed on with AEW in an unspecified role. He will continue his MLW duties. WWE has been interested in using him, but AEW has locked him in. I expect he'll be used in an analyst role as we've seen so far.

Chyna is the subject of a Reelz TV show airing Sunday night. It will cover her final hours.

All Out was promoted during a recent MLB game on TBS. By all accounts, WarnerMedia is really getting behind AEW.

WWN's upcoming recruitment will air live on their Facebook page as well as Club WWN. At least one participant will get a WWE tryout.

Dean Malenko has a new shoot interview. Here's a preview.

Gregory Iron's battle with cerebral palsy was covered. I'm glad he and Zach Gowen are benefiting each other.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I can't find an instance of me saying NXT airing on FS1 was 100% confirmed to happen. I tend to be cautious with such statements, as nothing in the wrestling business is completely set in stone until it's announced, and sometimes it even changes after that!

2. I can't disagree here. Pouring a bunch of money and resources into NXT just to counter AEW is not an ideal route, but when you've got the kind of money and resources WWE has, you can do things like that. That said, I'd definitely like to see NXT and its stars get bigger opportunities in front of bigger crowds.

3. I would think it could, but, honestly, if you can't sell that video archive and PPVs for $9.99 a month, there's a much bigger problem than whether or not NXT is there! And, yes, in theory doing more Takeover events exclusively on the Network could get more subscribers, with the much larger USA audience potentially signing up for that when they haven't signed up for what Raw and Smackdown Live are doing.

4. All that will depend on how involved USA is and how involved others (Vince, etc.) become to try to get the audience to a certain level. There will undoubtedly be some changes to the product when they have to fill more time each week and account for commercials. It will be very interesting to see how NXT does when viewership levels are brought into the mix, and what plans end up potentially being changed due to interest levels from the TV viewers.

5. AEW will have their work cut out for them competing against a show with similar workers in a similar style. There will undoubtedly be a sizable number of fans who will have to make a weekly decision of which show to support live, which raises the stakes for both shows.

More wrestling tomorrow.
