WWE hiring writers (again), assorted wrestling notes, ROH preview, more UWN notes, Raw name has surgery, Interview with Morrison, MLW picks up another Park, Riddle files lawsuit, Dynamite+NXT audiences, WWE fitness trademark, NXT gauntlet name, and Questions on Brock leading RETRIBUTION, and WrestleHouse

WWE is hiring senior and junior writers. I feel like that's more or less going to be a permanent opening as far as people being shifted in and out.

Kayla Braxton is having eye surgery.

NXT UK has hired new referees.

ROH TV this weekend has Matt Sydal vs. Delirious and Rocky Romero vs. David Finlay.

ROH's Roku channel was down for a time recently.

United Wrestling Network notes:

- A power outage affected the taping, causing the promotion to have to scramble to fix production.

- NJPW representatives including Rocky Romero were at the taping.

Drew McIntyre will be on "WWE 24" October 4.

Orange Cassidy and the Best Friends are on AEW Unrestricted this week.

Dynamite this week was pretaped. Tuesday's episode was also taped in advance.

Ivar has undergone neck surgery. He will likely miss significant time. Sad to hear that. I wish both Raiders the best.

Amber Nova is on The Working Fan's Podcast.

John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler are in "The Speed of Time" on DUST.

WWE now has a Thunderdome "I Was Virtually There" shirt. Funny!

John Morrison spoke to Chris Van Vliet. 

LA Park, Jr. has been announced for MLW's restart, joining family members there. 

Matt Riddle has filed a civil lawsuit against independent wrestler Candy Cartwright for alleged false and defamatory statements regarding their relationship. Very sad situation one way or another. 

NXT drew 689,000 viewers this week, a pretty sizable drop from weeks with no head-to-head competition. 

Dynamite drew 886,000 viewers this week, which is not a bad number for them, but not as good as they did without going against NXT.

- The show was the third most watched in its timeslot, and was particularly successful with younger fans and men. It's clear we're seeing a distinct wrestling audience from WWE here, one that's valuable for the company's long-term future.

WWE has trademarked "FYtnessNutrYtion" for a fitness brand. That is an absolutely terrible name that sounds like it was made in a committee. 

NXT's gauntlet contendership match has announced Kushida. 

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

1. Brock doesn't need a group of people to take over a program. He can do it just fine on his own!

Nothing to add to 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7. 

4. I fully expect the concept was loved by those involved on all ends. Impact really seems to focus on that kind of segment. I guess when they're that much of a niche product and have that level of financial backing, they have free rein!

More wrestling tomorrow.
