Ric Flair has been cleared to take bumps for WWE. That's amazing at 70. I hope WWE doesn't abuse that.

Stephanie McMahon discussed Crown Jewel's women's match and more. It is interesting those two were picked for the match.

Full Gear on FITE will have German commentary. That's pretty cool; the company continues to grow and expand.

The Mid-South Coliseum was viewed via a drone flythrough. Memphis is still deciding what to do next with the venue.

Edge will continue to appear on "Vikings" final season.

Corey Graves is doing an AMA on Reddit on November 5 to promote "After The Bell."

WWE has trademarked "UUDD" for clothing. I'm curious what happens to that show if Xavier Woods ever leaves.

Finn Balor discussed returning to NXT with Sports Illustrated and The Orlando Sentinel. I liked the comparisons of Broadway vs. Hollywood. As for a Balor Club with AOP, I'm intrigued.

Dynamite and NXT both had immediate replays last night, almost certainly as a way to get fans who watched the World Series championship game. Both shows had very tough competition there!

The Boogeyman had a live stream for Halloween.

Impact's Turning Point special on November 9 will feature Sami Callihan vs. Brian Cage for the Impact World Championship.

Jordan Myles has made an anti-racism T-shirt to benefit the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Weird flex, but OK. I wish him the best.

EVOLVE 139 will feature NXT signing Shotzi Blackheart vs. Reina Gonzalez.

WWE held a Halloween contest with New Day, Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, and Heath Slater.

MJF did commentary with Excalibur for AEW Dark this week. We're seeing some interesting variety on that show.

Tommaso Ciampa commented on Sami Callihan winning the Impact World Championship. I'm curious if their paths will ever cross again.

Before NXT, Reina Gonzalez defeated Monique Jenkins and Breezango defeated the team of Austin Theory and Raul Mendoza.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. There's definitely an audience WWE has disappointed over the years that's willing to give AEW a try. The key for AEW will be keeping that audience beyond sending a message to WWE.

2. I would be surprised if WWE and AEW don't make her good offers whenever her contract comes due; she's really proving her worth in Impact.

3. If you skipped watching WWE before February and started watching again, you'd be forgiven for disbelieving that Kofi had a six-month run as champion. If Kofi isn't that concerned about his historic title run ending, why should fans be?

4. So, it wasn't a DQ, it was a referee stoppage. That said, it was a clunky finish, for sure, and WWE has no one but themselves to blame for making it happen in the first place.

5. Only if he goes online and defends it... oh wait. They probably would have turned on "SuperSeth" winning if he had stayed off Twitter, though. Fans wanted The Fiend to stand tall.

More wrestling tomorrow.
