AEW signs former WWE GM, Dynamite note, Schiavone note, Cassidy profiled, Interviews with Colt/Bayley, Slammiversary adds match, another WWE PPV on FS1, Jeff legal update, Smackdown additions, territory star retires, Fight For The Fallen+NXT audiences, Cauliflower Alley Club reunion update, and wrestling content notes

Vickie Guerrero has signed with AEW as Nyla Rose's manager. She's naturally valuable in that role.

AEW taped the July 22 Dynamite Thursday. That explains why they were able to advertise so many matches in advance. They've done a great job setting up future shows. 

Tony Schiavone missed Fight for the Fallen due to his COVID-19 test results being delayed. AEW is wisely being proactive there. They really feel like a team.

Orange Cassidy got press in New York Post. Tony Khan has been smart with how they've presented him.

Colt Cabana is on the latest AEW Unrestricted.

Slammiversary has added The Rascalz issuing an open challenge. I can't help but think that will showcase some new or returning faces. 

FS1 will show Summerslam 1992 on July 28.

Jeff Hardy's court case has been pushed back to September 28 due to COVID-19.

Smackdown has added:
- Firefly Fun House
- Moment of Bliss with a mystery guest

Bobby Fulton has announced his retirement. Best wishes to him in his future. 

Bayley spoke to Digital Spy.

Dynamite drew 788,000 viewers this week, a jump from last week. That's a pretty solid number during COVID-19.

NXT drew 631,000 viewers this week, significant drop from last week. If that's backlash for Cole losing the title, that's really telling. We'll see if it grows going forward or if they need to take a big look at how things are going there.

Cauliflower Alley Club has postponed their reunion until April 25 through April 28.

Summer Rae was on Highspots' latest virtual gimmick table.

The Rock and The Miz appeared as themselves on Peacock's "30 Rock" reunion special.

More wrestling tomorrow.
