WWE gaming trademarks, assorted wrestling press, top MLW name re-signs, WM36 ticket trouble, NC indie making big changes, upcoming Seth feud?, NXT event postponed, NXT rum contest, Wrestlecon events set, cruiserweight "taking hiatus," Raw match set, NXT surgery, Dynamite match, UK promotion ending live events, joshi roster switch official, and FNSD dark matches

WWE has trademarked "Superstar Gaming League" and "WWE SGL" for a video game series. I wouldn't assume this means anything for UpUpDownDown; this could just have a broader focus than Xavier's show.

Jimmy Hart is on Jerry Lawler's latest podcast.

Charlotte Flair is in India on behalf of WWE.

MLW Champion Jacob Fatu has signed a multi-year deal. The company will control how he's booked in other promotions in order to protect him as an asset. That bodes well for how they value him.

WrestleMania 36 tickets went on sale Friday. Ticketmaster's website and app crashed, which may or not be related to demand for that event.

North Carolina's CWF Mid-Atlantic has canceled all upcoming events as part of a restructuring. They do intend to run future shows. I'm interested to see what their next moves will be.

Raw's Madison Square Garden live event on December 26 is advertising Seth Rollins vs. Erick Rowan, so it looks like that's coming to TV at some point.

Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were recently at the WWE Performance Center.

The Undertaker and Michelle McCool met Marines in Virginia.

Goldberg will be on ABC's "Schooled" this week as an extension of his "The Goldbergs" role.

NXT's November 21 live event has been postponed to February 21 due to preparations for Survivor Series weekend.

NXT is part of a contest with Kraken Rum with WrestleMania tickets on the line. Interesting...

WrestleCon 2020 will feature shows from Impact, Japan's TJPW and DDT jointly, and Pro Wrestling Revolver as well as Joey Ryan's Penis Party. It has been hinted we'll see a "TNA" show from Impact there featuring talents from the past.

Brian Kendrick is "taking a hiatus" from 205 Live. I would be all for him appearing on NXT.

Roman Reigns has a "Stronger Than Cancer" shirt for sale that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Raw has added Seth Rollins vs. Andrade, with the tease of determining Raw's Survivor Series captain. This was set up at a live event with promos from both (and Zelina Vega, naturally). I like live events having meaningful circumstances now.

NXT's Boa just had surgery for a torn labrum and rotator cuff.

Dynamite has added Nick Jackson vs. Fenix. The angle is that this was going to be a tag match, but Matt isn't medically cleared following last week's attack from Ortiz and Santana. So, yes, the Bucks are selling!

IPW UK has announced it will cease live events with their December 15 show. Further details are forthcoming. The UK wrestling scene has really taken hits in the past few years.

Xavier Woods is featured on Mega Ran's "Sunset Flip."

Japan's Giulia has officially signed with Stardom following getting a release from Ice Ribbon. I'm glad something was worked out between the two sides.

Before Smackdown, Cesaro defeated Apollo Crews.

After Smackdown, Roman Reigns defeated King Corbin and The Fiend defeated Daniel Bryan to retain the Universal Championship.

Nothing to add to yesterday's PWInsider.com questions.

More wrestling tomorrow.
