FNSD replay notes, Fox back on the air, assorted wrestling press, Sasha stitched up, new WWE trademark, Cena discusses in-ring future, Crash books lucha dream match, Kassius booked for Europe, Brock match advertised, HIAC ending note, and Questions on the IIconics, women's wrestling in WWE, Ronda, The Man, and underrated shows

Friday Night Smackdown is available on both Hulu and Fox on Demand. The debut was also replayed on FS2 Saturday night. So there are plenty of ways to watch each week's episode.

Fox channels have returned to Dish Network and Sling TV as a result of the two sides signing another multi-year agreement.

New Day's graphic novel team spoke about the project.

The Singh Brothers met The Rock at Friday Night Smackdown.

Triple H responded to a UFC star using his entrance recently. Might as well book them to work together at Crown Jewel, too!

Mark Henry spoke to TMZ Sports about his standup career.

Sasha Banks received stitches after Friday Night Smackdown.

Kane will sign his book in New Jersey on November 26.

WWE has trademarked "WWE's Triple Crown" for a currently unknown purpose. The obvious speculation is Saudi Arabia-related, but we'll see.

John Cena discussed cutting back his wrestling schedule on NBC's Today Show, indicating he would be limiting his performances even if it wasn't for Hollywood commitments. Cena wrestled a LOT of matches as a full-time guy and I'm sure they took a toll.

The Crash has booked the Lucha Bros vs. Rush and Dragon Lee for November 1 at their eighth anniversary show. That's a pretty significant match!

- The show will also feature Cima and Jonathan Gresham, so a good variety of home promotions are represented.

Kassius Ohno is set for wXw's 19th anniversary event on December 14 and PROGRESS' Chapter 99 event on December 15. On the latter show, Ohno will face Timothy Thatcher.

Cain Velasquez and "WWE Smackdown" were the fifth and sixth most searched terms on Google Friday.

Friday Night Smackdown's December 27 episode is advertising Brock Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston. 

NHL's Detroit Red Wings will have a WWE Night on October 29.

Chris Jericho will be on David Spade's Comedy Central show Thursday night.

Hell in a Cell's ending was due to referee stoppage, rather than a disqualification. I honestly don't remember the last time a match ended on that big of a confusing clustermess. The crowd had every right to be upset. 

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. They're definitely out of the picture after losing the tag title. We'll see if the draft changes that. 

2. Honestly without following WWE since Day One I'm not qualified to make that distinction, but things really hit a lull in the pillow fight/let's hire a bunch of models eras.

3. She is under contract, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's going to return to the ring. It's similar to when a talent isn't cleared to wrestle but still appears as a GM or manager. 

4. It's clear WWE is playing off Ric's history with Becky's nickname, and he thinks he should be compensated for that. 

5. I definitely always hear good things about MLW. It and Impact are kind of flying under the radar since they're on less prominent networks. That will change to a degree for Impact when they start fresh content on AXS. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
