Titus honored, Interviews with Reed/Adam Cole/Brandi/Sabin, Heyman in WWE 2K video, wrestling trademark notes, wrestling content updates, Steiner out of football team, AEW streaming All Out 2019 vs. NXT, Dynamite+NXT previews, and Questions on Cornette vs. AEW, Rock buying Vince's football league, and ratings bumps

Titus O'Neil was honored at the Cynopsis Sports Media Awards due to his charity work. Very glad to see.

Bronson Reed spoke to PWInsider before NXT. It's good to see new faces emerge on that brand.

Paul Heyman narrated a WWE 2K Battlegrounds game modes trailer. I'm curious when this was taped and what it means for his role in the company. 

WWE has trademarked The Hunt, Pretty Deadly, Rinku, Saurav, and Zack Gibson.

AEW has trademarked Stadium Stampede. I wouldn't assume that means another one is coming. 

"The Bump" next will will feature Adam Cole, Karrion Kross, and Scarlett.

WWE Network's free version has added a lot of Summerslam events.

Beth Phoenix is on "After The Bell" this week.

Adam Cole spoke to New York Post about facing Pat McAfee. Cole came across very, very well here. He really feels like a babyface defending wrestling against the outsider I doubt NXT fans wanted to see wrestle.

Brandi Rhodes spoke to TVInsider about women in AEW.

Cody's Bash at the Beach trademark has been denied due to similarity with WWE's "The Bash" trademark. Of course, The Bash is a short version of Great American Bash.

Chris Sabin's full Chris Van Vliet interview has been released. 

Rick Steiner's son has been released from his NFL team.

MLW has been added to the Fubo Sports streaming network. Their reach keeps on expanding!

AEW will stream All Out 2019's first half on YouTube next week in the normal Dynamite timeslot. That's a clever way to benefit from the pre-emption.

Dynamite on August 22 has announced:

- Cody vs. Brodie Lee for the TNT Championship

- Women's Tag Team Cup finals

- Kenny Omega and Young Bucks vs. Dark Order's Alex Reynolds, John Silver, and Alan Angels.

- Lucha Bros and The Butcher & The Blade vs. Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy, and Natural Nightmares

- FTR vs. Private Party

-- Looks like another "tag team appreciation night" as far as the number of teams in action!

NXT has announced:
- Pat McAfee appearing

- Johnny Gargano vs. Ridge Holland in a North American Championship contendership qualifying match

- Finn Balor vs. Velveteen Dream in a North American Championship contendership qualifying match

- Legado del Fantasma vs. Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Breezango

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:

1. No. It's more of a case of his AEW criticisms getting a lot of attention, AEW being very topical, and a lot of people asking about AEW. If he's going to do a wrestling YouTube show, it's somewhat inevitable he'll discuss such a prominent league. 

2. More on this in tomorrow's news post.

3. I assume he was just having fun "cutting a promo" on someone he's known a long, long time. 

4. Well, Vince wasn't going to buy it back. I think he'd rather have Rock own it than someone he's not familiar with. And you never know, Vince could end up back on board at some point. 

5. It could be a combination of those things. Shane has generally been a draw for casual fans when used in small doses, though. 

More wrestling coming up.
