"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan was hospitalized recently, leading to him pulling out of this weekend's autograph appearances.

- Duggan's wife later confirmed the hospitalization was due to a severe infection, and that Duggan should be fine.

At EVOLVE 135:
- NXT's Arturo Ruas defeated John Silver
- Austin Theory got disqualified against Babatunde in a non-title match as other roster members got involved before Babatunde could pin Theory.
- Kassius Ohno defeated Josh Briggs
- Walter defeated JD Drake in a non-title match

NXT UK/PROGRESS' Jim Smallman was at Battle of Los Angeles, which will surely get people talking about talent being recruited to WWE.

Adam Cole is on Sam Roberts' latest podcast.

Brock Lesnar is set for the November 15 Friday Night Smackdown. I'm curious what they do with him if he doesn't take the title.

"WWE Photo Shoot" with Christian will air after Raw.

Ric Flair appeared on ESPN's College GameDay.

Goldberg and Dolph Ziggler had some sort of confrontation at a Nevada party that almost became physical. It looks like an angle of some sort.

- Ziggler commented on Twitter. We'll see if there's any payoff to this.

Big Show sat down with Mick Foley, Mark Henry, and Rikishi as part of preparing for "The Big Show Show." So it looks like we'll see more wrestlers involved with that.

Kylie Rae returned to the ring last night for Freelance Wrestling in Illinois in an impromptu replacement for Shotzi Blackheart, who was set for EVOLVE and SHINE action.

Bret Hart was at WWE's Calgary live event.

Lacey Evans got a ticket before WWE's Calgary live event. Damn, she'll even cut a promo on the police!

Titus O'Neil appeared at a FOX Sports game.

Nigel McGuinness spoke to Bill Apter about NXT's USA debut.

The Rock will be at UFC 244 to present the BMF Championship to the winner of Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal. Hopefully the loser takes a Rock Bottom and People's Elbow.

Xia Li tweeted about wrestling at WWE's China live event. Pretty cool opportunity for her. Her profile in WWE seems to be growing.

Kane spoke about working with The Fiend and more on The Two Man Power Trip. Here are highlights. Kane got to show a lot of different sides of himself on Raw. It was great.

Mandy Rose is on the cover of Maxim Australia's latest issue.

The Young Bucks discussed AEW Dynamite and more:
- This whole "there hasn't been an alternative to WWE in 18 years" thing needs to die. I get what people are saying, as there hasn't been a company with this level of exposure and resources since then, but there have been plenty of alternatives.

- AEW has a BIG challenge ahead of them going against NXT each week. They've had very impressive milestones so far, but they're diving into the deep end in October.

- Running shows before the TV debut has really helped improve production.

 - Limiting talent to TV time is going to be a challenge, because everyone's going to want to do everything they like doing.

- Holy shit BTE has nothing on booking long cards with actual matches.

- Yeah it's surreal what all they've been able to put together.

- Following everything on social media has got to be hectic.

- Full Sail burnout is a legitimate concern.

- Classy for them to support the NXT product.

- Yeah, Triple H's comments were unbelievable. Quite frankly, in this business, everyone wants to sign every talent with a buzz.

NWA uploaded their recent women's championship match between Allysin Kay and Heather Monroe. This was taped at Championship Wrestling From Hollywood.

At Raw's September 20 live event in Alberta:
- Kalisto and Lince Dorado worked their first live event since July 28. They were in a triple threat tag team match with the Viking Raiders and the team of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, which the latter team won.
- Sasha Banks wrestled her first live event since March 24, losing to Becky Lynch via disqualification with the Raw Women's Championship on the line.
- The Fiend made his live event debut, losing to Seth Rollins via disqualification after choking Rollins out on the ropes.

At Smackdown Live's September 21 live event in China:
- EC3 again won the 24/7 Championship from R-Truth, and again lost it right back. Truth is now an 18-time champ!!!
- NXT's Xia Li teamed with Carmella to defeat Fire and Desire.

At EVOLVE 136 in New York:
- NXT's Atruro Ruas defeated Anthony Gutierrez
- Walter defeated Kassius Ohno
- Austin Theory defeated Josh Briggs to retain the EVOLVE Championship.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's possible their Indian TV partner suggested it. For obvious financial reasons, Impact wants to keep Sony Six happy!

2. I don't know how far back it was planned, but they're definitely purposefully loading up that episode!

3. FOX has definitely told WWE they want certain names on their show. WWE has a real balancing act on their hands keeping each station happy! If ratings do poorly, we'll see more pressure from executives, and some of that could mean roster switches.

4. It lines up perfectly with TNT and Nitro, certainly. They did copyright "Wednesday Night Dynamite" before the TNT deal, though.

5. I guess Genetic Jackhammer, LLC was taken. Vince is clearly attracted to words like Alpha, Mastodon, etc.

More wrestling tomorrow.
