NJPW's G1 Climax will be held in arenas with half capacity. That's an encouraging milestone.
- The shows will not have undercard tag matches as a safety move to limit the number of people on the card.
Matt Riddle lawsuit notes:
- Riddle alleges his ex-girlfriend. known as Candy Cartwright, came to the WWE Performance Center months back and had to be taken away from the facility.
- Riddle alleges Cartwright publicly revealed his home address and his wife's phone number on Twitter. The lawsuit says these were recorded and could be shown at trial. Cartwright counters that while she did post communication from Riddle's wife with her phone number visible, she quickly took that post down and put up a different one with the phone number covered up.
- Cartwright says that Riddle communicating on Twitter to dispute her version of events led to online harassment and cost her a job with WWE. Riddle's lawyer says WWE was never interested in her.
CMLL notes:
- Princesa Sugehit has tested positive for COVID-19.
- They are expected to get an additional Friday night weekly event when they are able to run events again, since they will be turning fans away from some events due to only being able to run 30 percent capacity.
AAA notes:
- The hope is to run shows again come October.
- TV Azteca is now airing Lucha Fighter season one, which had been on Facebook.
Jeff Cobb is expected to sign with NJPW. I would assume he'll continue to work ROH when available. He's definitely a top worker with potential there.
Stardom's Itsuki Hoshino is retiring on September 26.
Squared Circle Sirens has closed following the passing of its founder. Very sad to see. They were a positive part of women's wrestling.
Bret Hart and Lance Storm are in Canadian animated show "Corner Gas."
Fozzy's fall tour has been pushed to April and May.
Ivelisse's home recently burned down in a fire. Sad to hear.
Sonya Deville's case is leading to discussion of legislation making it more difficult to find famous individuals' addresses in Florida.
WWE is looking to return to having paying crowds in November, with the current idea being to do outdoor events. That will definitely be a difference from Thunderdome!
Finn Balor discussed The Club and more with BT Sport. Finn vs. Triple H would be noteworthy. I like it.
Roku briefly removed NBCUniversal content due to a row between the two sides over the rights to Peacock shows. Peacock content will come to Roku soon after an agreement was reached.
Drew McIntyre had a long interview.
Impact and Lariato Pro Wrestling are taping another Impact Plus event on September 26. Eric Young, Chris Masters, The Good Brothers, Rocky Romero, Heath, and Brian Myers are all advertised.
Melina has signed a WWE deal and is expected to return imminently. I would think her teaming with The Miz and John Morrison to feud with Mandy Rose and Heavy Machinery would be natural. It will be good to see her again.
NXT's gauntlet match has added Cameron Grimes.
Miro has trademarked that ring name.
Jonathan Gresham will be on the next ROH Strong podcast.
Mickie James discussed Raw's match ending and more. I hope she does get to work with more current talent before retiring.

- Christopher Daniels vs. Ricky Starks
- The Butcher & The Blade vs. Calvin Stewart and Puf
- Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss vs. Kevin Blackwood and Daniel Garcia

- Evil Uno and Stu Grayson vs. Rembrandt Lewis and Fuego del Sol
- Will Hobbs vs. Serpentico
- Lee Johnson vs. Ben Carter
- Dark Order's 5 and 10 vs. Ryzin and Xander Gold
WWE has announced a new Encyclopedia of Sports Entertainment with DK Publishing.
Chris Jericho has trademarked "Million Viewer Man." Jericringe in full effect.
Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis appeared on The Bouncers' podcast, which will naturally lead to ROH speculation. It would be an obvious next step for the couple.
Clash of Champions has added Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn in a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.
Jon Moxley has been added to Bloodsport.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Wow, World Wildlife Fund might have been one of the company's toughest competitors over the years!
2. I popped. Tough to beat that answer.
3. There was talk for a time of a TNA spinoff project pre-pandemic. If that does occur, we could see that ring there.
Nothing to add to 4 or 5.
More wrestling tomorrow.
