Raw has added The Kabuki Warriors vs. Charlotte Flair in a handicap match. That's an interesting direction.

Canadian streaming service Crave has added:
- All "Dark Side of the Ring" episodes
- HBO's Andre the Giant documentary
- Mauro Ranallo's "Bipolar Rock 'n' Roller" documentary

Impact producer/director David Sahadi is returning to the company full-time after spending time in MLW. That's a boost for Impact.

Kane spoke to TMZ Sports about a few WWE topics. Kane also spoke to Fox News about wrestling and politics.

Luke Harper trademarked his pre-WWE ring name Brodie Lee. He has been open about seeking his release from the company and would presumably use that name again if he did work elsewhere.

Matt Hardy is preparing to potentially leave WWE and return to his "Broken" character. His current deal ends in February, and the two sides are at odds over how he would be used if he signs a new deal. I could see him being more of an asset outside of WWE, since WWE doesn't really see him as someone to showcase.

- Jeff Hardy's contract goes past February due to him missing time due to injury and legal issues, so he won't be joining Matt in any potential post-WWE plans anytime soon.

Friday Night Smackdown drew 2.34 million viewers this week. There are unimpressive numbers for the show in its new home.

Dynamite has added Pentagon, Jr. vs. Christopher Daniels.

The Fiend's custom championship now has handmade replicas for sale. Tom Savini's getting some real money and advertising from this!

Jerry Lynn successfully had surgery for a bulging disc.

AEW teams collide in House of Glory when The Lucha Bros defend the HOG Tag Team Championship against Private Party on December 7.

NJPW President Howard Meij spoke to Fox Sports in Australia:
- Cool to see the Japanese government support NJPW.

- Really weird rumor about them trying to bar Omega from coming to Japan. Honestly sounds like another Saudi conspiracy theory.

- Haha yeah I don't think NJPW running U.S. shows helps ROH. If anything it's drawn fans away because now they don't have to watch ROH for those names.

Bandido has returned to CMLL for the first time since 2016. It appears he's signing on to work a set number of dates rather than being under a full deal.

Lance Storm is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast as he prepares to join WWE as a producer.

NJPW has released Showdown in Los Angeles matches on their YouTube channel. Good move as they continue to expand their U.S. presence.

At WWE's Mexico City live event on November 30:
- Alexa Bliss worked her first match since Hell in a Cell, teaming with Nikki Cross in a Fatal Four Way match with The Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks and Bayley. The champions retained their title.
- Cain Velasquez and Humberto Carrillo defeated Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. Carrillo scored the pinfall.
- Rey Mysterio didn't win the Universal Championship against The Fiend, but did beat up Sami Zayn and Shinsuke Nakamura after the match when they came down to mock him.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.a. There was a report not long ago that ROH was reconsidering doing a Supercard event in 2020 given where there business is now. Given more departures are likely in coming months and the relationship with NJPW doesn't seem to be flourishing, it could be a tough sell for wrestling fans to watch an ROH show that week. But maybe ROH is more optimistic about that than we are.

1.b. NJPW will be a very interesting case if they're not pairing with ROH then. Time will tell. They seem to want to run smaller shows for now.

2. If NJPW runs a show, I expect he'll be there in a non-wrestling role. He might still appear somewhere regardless. I really, really don't think he'll wrestle after WrestleKingdom.

3. Probably not happening. I think that character already had its sendoff.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. I doubt Vince is going to change anything just because Punk is bringing it up. Given the audience Backstage is drawing, I think Vince will keep doing things his way!

6. I wouldn't mind new looks for those titles. It's probably about time.

7. I'm sure WWE knows everything that's "broken" on the show before it airs.

More wrestling tomorrow.
