WWE Network episodes coming, assorted wrestling press, new Clash match, ODB loses food truck, more Shamrock coming, NXT women's match adds stipulation, WWE seeking fan videos, new DBD matches, more from Mir, NWA declares new tag champions at ROH event, Interview with Cody, NXT live event notes, and Questions on Starrcast's affiliation with AEW, and WWE's MSG attendance

Trish Stratus will be the subject of a future "WWE 24" based on her Summerslam return.

Charly Caruso's work was profiled. She's done a lot!

Mandy Rose did a workout with Muscle and Fitness.

Becky Lynch had a bonus scene from Straight Up Steve Austin.

The Undertaker appeared on ESPN's College Gameday. That was pretty cool.

Clash of Champions has added Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross vs. Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

ODB's food trick burned down. That really sucks.

Ken Shamrock has been booked for Impact's October 25 and October 26 TV tapings in Ontario, so he'll be around for a while.

"Table for 3" after Raw will feature Torrie Wilson, Mandy Rose, and Carmella.

Apollo and Zelina Vega visited FOX Sports Argentina. As you might expect, they didn't get along.

Rhea Ripley will be added to NXT's women's number one contenders match if she beats Shayna Baszler this week. I'm definitely down for Shayna vs. Rhea for the title.

WWE is looking for fan videos from live events. I'm curious what the plan is there other than boosting attendance.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan appeared on Viceland's "Wrestling with Fashion."

Death Before Dishonor has added:
- Shane Taylor vs. Flip Gordon vs. Tracy Williams for the ROH Television Championship
- The Briscoes vs. Bandido and Mark Haskins for ROH Tag Team Championship

Frank Mir was backstage at MLW War Chamber, so we could be seeing him work there soon. That could be a good fit!

NWA declared new tag team champions as they taped Thomas Latimer and Royce Isaacs defeating previous champions PCO and Brody King before Global Wars Espectacular Chicago. With NWA splitting from ROH, this is tying up a loose end before NWA begins their own tapings. It's really telling they pulled out of Summer Supercard and the ROH relationship while their tag team championship was around the waists of two ROH wrestlers!

"WWE Chronicle" with Sasha Banks will air Saturday, the night before Clash of Champions. I'm curious how that will go.

Roman Reigns spoke to Lauekaemia Matters in the UK.

Ric Flair has signed a deal with Adidas.

Batista appeared on UpUpDownDown to discuss Gears of War 5. That's pretty cool.

Cody spoke to IGN about a number of AEW topics. I'm REALLY curious which products fans will prioritize, and how that will affect places like MLW, ROH, and Impact. As for a TV Title, that's a fine idea for once they establish the top title, tag title, and women's title.

Cody apologized for taking part in a disparaging chant in AAA. "AEW is for everyone" isn't just a gimmick; they're making sure they make the most of their situations.

NJPW President Harold Meij was featured in a Tokyo commercial.

At NXT's September 7 Florida live event:
- Ridge Holland worked his first live event since August 2, losing to Rik Bugez.
- Jessamyn Duke had her first live event match since June 27, teaming with Marina Shafir in a loss to Rhea Ripley and Reina Gonzalez.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to add to 1 or 3.

2. That sounds realistic, and Punk probably wouldn't have appreciated it being brought up!

4. Starrcast is an independent venture, but obviously it's always been run on AEW weekends using AEW talents.

5. It is telling where WWE's attendance numbers are now, for those events and in general. I'm under the impression WWE felt the shows would do much better, so they're playing catch up at the last minute and there's only so much they can do now with Clash of Champions six nights later and several HIAC matches coming up in October.

More wrestling tomorrow.
