When roster changes will take affect, top names set for FNSD, Interviews with Miz/Fury/Keira, MLW women debut match, Cain set for Mexico date, NWA PPV distribution, Foley coloring book, TTTT set, ROH tour replacement, more Honor United matches, Survival of the Fittest update, ROH Unauthorized host, another CMLL name booked for ROH, Dynamite match, NXT signee set for more EVOLVE shows, NXT name profiled, Kross+Scarlett appearance, FNSD dark matches, NXT live event note, and Questions on WWE names endorsing NWA, Stardom's ROH relationship after the sale, AEW ratings drops, and a Baby Shark gimmick

Smackdown's UK tour lineups set for November 7 and November 8 don't reflect the recent draft, so those shows will likely use the rosters as they were when travel arrangements and such were booked.

Friday Night Smackdown next week is advertising:
- Cain Velasquez, Brock Lesnar, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair appearing
- Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin

The Miz discussed fatherhood in the UK.

Tyson Fury spoke to TMZ Sports about WWE and more. He looks like he's having a lot of fun. I like it.

MLW's first women's match will take place November 9.

Cain Velasquez will team with Rey Mysterio at WWE's November 30 Mexico City event. That makes plenty of sense.

NWA Into The Fire will air on FITE. The event has already sold out the studio they're running.

Kofi Kingston appeared on Minnesota's Bob & Tom Show.

Mick Foley is getting an adult coloring book "Cactus Jack and the Beanstalk," sales of which will benefit Connor's Cure.  More wrestling themed bedtime stories are coming. That's funny.

Tribute to the Troops will be taped December 6 in North Carolina before that night's live Friday Night Smackdown.

Aussie Open's Mark Davis is being replaced by Germany's Lucky Kid on the Honor United tour. Lucky recently competed in Battle of Los Angeles.

Honor United: London on October 25 has added:
- Shane Taylor vs. Joe Hendry for the Television Championship
- Kelly Klein vs. Mandy Leon for the WOH Championship
- Lifeblood's Tracy Williams and Mark Haskins vs. Australia's Brat Pack.

ROH Survival of the Fittest will be a tag team tournament this year. The first two teams set are Rush and Dragon Lee and Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham.

ROH Unauthorized will be hosted by Colt Cabana and have a Hanukkah theme of "eight crazy matches." I have mixed levels of anticipation of that.

ROH The Experience has added CMLL's Ultimo Guerrero, who will be a four way match with the three competitors not chosen to face Dragon Lee. That's a good use of the names not in the Lee match, and another collaboration with CMLL. I'm glad to see the two sides will still work together.

Dynamite has added Jon Moxley vs. PAC. That should really be exciting.

NXT signee Shotzi Blackheart is set for EVOLVE 139 and EVOLVE 140 on November 9 and November 10 in New York.

An Australian news station profiled NXT's Daniel Vidot ahead of Smackdown's Australian tour.

Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux are at this weekend's Baltimore Comic Con.

Kiera Hogan spoke before Bound For Glory. The AXS move gives her and others a good chance of exposure.

Before Friday Night Smackdown, Apollo defeated Kalisto. After 205 Live, Cesaro defeated The Miz by DQ.

NXT's Brendan Vink worked his first live event since August 24 Friday night, losing to Angel Garza in Florida.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Essentially they're allowed to do such things at their discretion. It'd be different if they were promoting, say, AEW or NJPW, but NWA's pretty safe right now.

2. That would be great! The WOH division could badly use a boost.

3. "Concern" might not be the right word, since they're beating even optimistic expectations and most shows lose audience after their debut, but there has been a substantial decrease and it's something to note.

4. It probably wouldn't last long, like a fidget spinner gimmick wouldn't have.

5. Nothing yet.

More wrestling tomorrow.
