The Street Profits are on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

Lacey Evans' Alberta traffic incident was picked up by a number of news outlets, including TMZ. She did a good job with the segment and got plenty of attention for it!

- Evans clarified how much of the traffic stop was in character.

- The local police issued a statement regarding the matter. That had to be a weird day for them.

Maury Povich sent in a video for the Maria Kanellis pregnancy angle. This is pretty wild.

Sin Cara is scheduled to return to WWE live events this weekend. I hope he's able to find a role; he hasn't done anything significant in quite a while.

Kane and Jinder Mahal will be at New York Comic Con next weekend.

ROH's September 28 TV taping has added a Vegas Wild Card Eight-Man Tag match, with participants determined randomly. Jay Briscoe has been announced for one team, with Jeff Cobb announced for the other. More participants will be named in the days to come.

Smackdown Live has announced Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair and Carmella. I'm guessing the 24/7 Championship won't be on the line there.

"Total Divas" will cover the Corey Graves/Carmella relationship, which caused controversy when it was first discovered. I popped for the references to it on Raw.

- The show's eighth season will air as a marathon on WWE Network Friday and on E! on October 2.

WWE Network will have a "Where Are They Now?" special for Smackdown's 20th anniversary airing Sunday.

Goldberg is expected to return to WWE TV soon, building off his recent appearance with Dolph Ziggler. I imagine Goldberg will be at the next Saudi show on Halloween.

The Miz got press for a recent signing.

New Day are doing a signing at iPlay America in New Jersey on Sunday.

ROH has moved Survival of the Fittest's San Antonio date to November 10. So, Night 1 will now be in Dallas and this will be Night 2 in a significantly smaller venue from what was originally booked.

Danny Burch will be on tonight's 205 Live, likely teaming with Oney Lorcan.

Roman Reigns is on the cover of the newest "Inked" Magazine.

AEW could be getting a studio show, either on television or B/R Live. AEW couldn't get a much better advocate than Tony Khan.

Hangman Page is set for AEW's TNT premiere. He's really been lost in the shuffle after the Jericho loss.

Eddie Kingston is set for NWA's TV tapings. It's been teased he won't be by himself.

Jonathan Gresham competed at Battle of Los Angeles with a lymph node infection.

Mickie James is a commentator on the next episode of Main Event. WWE is looking at using her as a producer, too.

Baron Corbin is now officially going by King Corbin, as is fitting.

205 Live has added Angel Garza vs. Humberto Carrillo. Ooooooh that should be good.

Titus O'Neil will be on Thursday's Tamron Hall Show, along with his mother.

After Raw, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair defeated Bayley and Sasha Banks.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.a. I see what Dave means about Omega's position. It's definitely kind of an odd situation where he's trying to be a character and an executive at the same time when appealing to an audience that's hyperfocused on what's a work or not.

1.b.It did get AEW backlash, though I'm curious how many fans will base their decision on watching AEW on that and similar comments vs. how many people are even more excited that AEW is fighting back against WWE.

2. Another fair point. ECW knew some of those WWF and WCW talents could end up working for them, just as some current NXT names could end up working for AEW. I get what Omega was going for as a character, but I also see how it could have done more harm than good.

3. Well, ECW didn't get anything close to the platform AEW is getting, especially not out of the gate. AEW has a much bigger opportunity, and WWE is already going up against them.

4. This was clearly chopped up from another question, so I'm not sure what it means by itself. I see what Dave means about wanting AEW to grow its audience, but I also think part of AEW's appeal is being anti-WWE and this might have fired up the troops. We'll see.

5.a. I think the war started sometime before then. I'd look back at when Cody, Page, and the Bucks crashed the parking lot at a WWE event as one of the first real "battles" so to speak, although obviously that's before AEW existed.

5.b. A lot of people are very excited about the competition. That doesn't mean they love everything AEW does!

More wrestling tomorrow.
