Fan-chosen action figure coming, Interviews with Spike/Spears/Undertaker/Ziggler/Riddle, WWNLive refund updates, ROH TV spotlight, ROH DVD released, Dynamite+NXT audiences, WrestlePro alaska return set, Raw title match set, and Questions on Billy Gunn's ring name, Starks in AEW, action figure press, WOW's status, and why Jarrett is suing Anthem

The #SpeakingOut controversies will be covered in a separate post.

Johnny Gargano will get a Takeover:Toronto action figure. Honestly the Takeover:New York attire was amazing in its own right. 

Spike Dudley spoke to Chris Van Vliet about a variety of topics. 

Shawn Spears is on the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast.

WWNLive refunds are currently being processed. That's some really slow service from that ticket group, but with that many cancelations, I could see them being overwhelmed. 

Bandido will be the focus of this weekend's ROH TV.

ROH has released another Best of 2019 volume on DVD.

Dynamite drew 772,000 viewers this week, a clear jump from last week.

NXT drew 746,000 viewers this week, a decent jump in its own right. I hope both shows can keep momentum going. 

WrestlePro has announced an Alaska event for September 19. Curt Hawkins is advertised along with DDP, Colt Cabana, Orange Cassidy, Joey Janela, and Marko Stunt from AEW. Pat Buck is listed, too, but with his WWE rehiring, that could certainly change things. The event will be live-streamed for free.

The Undertaker spoke to Pat McAfee.

Dolph Ziggler spoke to Alicia Atout.

Matt Riddle spoke on ESPN MMA, discussing Brock Lesnar and more. 

Raw has added Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair for the Raw Women's Championship. Naturally that's going to have people speculating a title change is coming.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. The name is clearly a WWE creation. AEW is wise to refer to him as just Billy now.

2. We'll see if any other NWA names try to end up elsewhere with that company on hold. AEW can't take in everyone, of course, but NWA hasn't run a taping since January.

3. I've also got to give credit to the former Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder focusing on their series.

4. It's possible COVID played a role in AXS not wanting to do anything more with it. We'll see if it comes back and if Impact talent will be involved if it does.

5. Jarrett feels the content could have made more than that if not for Anthem's handling of it. As in, much more.

More wrestling tomorrow.
