Tyson Fury will be at Raw to respond to Braun Strowman. I guess pencil that match in for Crown Jewel or Survivor Series?

Cain Velaquez is set to challenge Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel. That will really be a spectacle.

Ontario's Comic Con Revolution will feature Jon Moxley and Lita on May 16 and May 17.

Tony Khan did the timing of Dynamite's debut episode. He's very involved!

Dynamite's immediate TNT replay drew 400,000 viewers. I'm really curious how much better the debut episode would have done as a one-off not going against NXT.

AEW's New York Comic Con panel had TNT executives in attendance.

AEW's NYCC representatives were interviewed by Entertainment Weekly and The Build Series.

Full Gear will be available in Spanish on B/R Live. That's great!

Matt Hardy commented on his brother's DWI arrest. He's in a difficult situation there.

Jerry Lawler has launched a Podcast One show.

Sid Vicious is on the latest SHOW Podcast.

Hulk Hogan's The Herd appearance was released online.

Johnny Gargano spoke about NXT, EVOLVE, and more.

AEW has announced a YouTube show featuring matches taped at Dynamite that don't air live. They're putting a lot of content out there!

Fox touted Friday Night Smackdown drawing four million viewers across Fox, Fox Deportes, and streaming platforms. The Fox broadcast drew 3.89 million viewers, the most-watched WWE show since Raw 25. That's a really, really strong first night for the show.

Kofi Kingston responded to the WWE Universe's support of him after losing his championship. I hope WWE knows what they stopped by feeding him to Brock.

- Daniel Bryan weighed in.

Daniel Cormier commented on Cain Velasquez vs. Brock Lesnar. Might as well get Cormier a big Saudi pay day next, right?

The Undertaker was kept off Friday Night Smackdown's Fox debut. If he wasn't going to be used in anything meaningful, it was probably better to save him for a later week. He's set to be part of Crown Jewel, so we'll see what that entails.

Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross commented on the future of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. That and the 24/7 Title should continue to be able to cross brands.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Yeah Crown Jewel and/or Survivor Series are the obvious destinations for that match. Though of course there's the option to *gulp* build it up to WrestleMania. I would not be shocked to see Cain win the title and Brock win the Rumble to take it back in Tampa.

2. They definitely come up with storylines they want to play out. The idea of them just having cameras rolling during "real life" and putting something together later in a coherent narrative is a pretty hard-to-believe one.

3. It does seem somewhat inevitable, but, yeah, I don't see a reason to rush it. AEW fans have just met the MJF character, so it doesn't mean much for him to turn on Cody now. Let it build for a while first.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. That sounds pretty miserable. I sympathize!

6. The facility is first and foremost a place for WWE recruits to train. Similarly to Titan Tower, it's a place of business and it's rare that the public is allowed to attend. When others are let in, it's at WWE's discretion and on WWE's schedule.

More wrestling tomorrow.
