WWE Network this weekend will add:
- ICW Fight Club 95
- EVOLVE 126
- wXw Shortcut To The Top 2020
- PROGRESS Chapter 94
UpUpDownDown has been nominated for an eSports award.
Countdown to All Out drew 357,000 viewers.
AEW has signed Tay Conti. I'm glad to see her again after she didn't appear much for NXT.
WWE's CTE-related lawsuits have had their appeals dismissed, as they were not filed in a timely manner. This will hopefully be the end of a long, embarrassing spectacle.
Raw drew 1.73 million viewers on Labor Day. I'm curious how much they'll rebound.
Vic Joseph is on "After The Bell" this week.
Drew McIntyre and Charlotte Flair did virtual meet-and-greets for a children's hospital.
WWE has opened a merchandise website for UpUpDownDown.
Primetime Live's broadcast team will be:
- Todd Kenely and Alyssa Marino at the announce desk
- NWA's Joe Galli, UWN/CWFH president Dave Marquez, and Mayra Dias Gomes doing interviews
- NJPW's Adnan Kureishy doing ring announcing.
Mercedes Martinez is no longer in The Robert Stone Brand.
NXT has added Killian Dain and Drake Maverick vs. Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish.
NXT's Josaih Williams has returned from furlough.
WWE has rescheduled their UK tour to April and May.
The former Rusev has debuted for AEW as Miro. He will be Kip Sabian's best man for the wedding with Penelope Ford.
Dynamite has announced:
- FTR vs. Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy in a non-title match
- Thunder Rosa vs. Ivelisse
- Santana and Ortiz vs. Best Friends in a parking lot fight
- Chris Jericho and Jake Hager vs. Private Party
- Hangman Page vs. Frankie Kazarian
- MJF in action
Dynamite's October 14 "anniversary show" will be headlined by Jon Moxley vs. Lance Archer for the AEW Championship. That's big!
Cody will judge TBS' "Go-Big Show" alongside Snoop Dogg, Rosario Dawson, and Jennifer Nettles. This will feature stunts and other such feats. That's good synergy for AEW, and potentially a way to reach more fans.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. If it was truly by accident and they didn't acknowledge her/cut that shot from replays, etc., I don't think WWE would do anything. I would expect AEW has her sit somewhere where they don't have a chance of her ending up on TV.
2. I've really loved Pearce in particular. It makes sense to have a couple of people who do the grunt work of running the show without making the show/angles about those individuals.
3. Yes, for an on-air product that is being presented in a similar manner to other TV shows and the like, planning things out makes sense. In the days when things were supposed to be more sportslike and there aren't time cues to hit, things played out differently.
4. It could be a while before she's free anyway, so there could be a natural opening for her. Otherwise, she can be Moxley's interviewer exclusively or something else along those lines.
5. Hmmmm.... that's an interesting way to look at it. I do think there's fun to be had in the pairing.
More wrestling tomorrow
