Assorted content notes, MLW makes another international deal, AEW star seeks to trademark WWE name, AEW tryout, recent WWE name arrested, Jarrett vs. Anthem continues, Interviews with Schamberger/Brisco/Roode/Arquette, new WWE director, GLOW canceled, HIAC title match set, former WWE+Impact name to ROH, RETRIBUTION leader revealed, and Questions on WWE's third-party edict, Ricochet's push, and NXT UK

New Day's podcast this week is a mailbag episode. 

MLW has signed a UK and Ireland TV deal with Sports Channel Network. This also includes streaming rights there. A premiere date has not been set. 

AEW has changed their Twitter handle to @AEW. 

Trent? has filed for a trademark for Trent Baretta, his WWE name. I don't see that being successful, since he didn't use the name prior to signing there.

Dark competitor Anthony Bowens was set to get a tryout at Blood & Guts before that show moved from New Jersey.

Recent WWE producer Sarah Stock was arrested recently for aggravated battery, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and resisting law enforcement. Sad to see that. I hope her life isn't going downhill after her release.

Jeff Jarrett has filed a motion for a second trail for his case with Anthem, stating he does not believe a settlement will occur. Wow the fight for GFW assets will last longer than GFW did!

Mickie James has a Best of WWE collection on WWE Network.

WWE Network this week will add:

- The Best of Aleister Black in PROGRESS

- wXw Shotgun 2020 Episode Four

- EVOLVE 130

- ICW Square Go 8

Rob Schamberger discussed WWE art and more. 

Gerald Brisco leaving WWE got local pressHe should absolutely write a book.

Scott Norton had his other knee replaced.

Robert Roode discussed his return and more with TVInsider. Very interesting response to the James Storm question.

WWE has named Barstool Sports' CEO for its board of directors. That's intriguing. WWE is clearly looking to grow their digital footprint. 

"GLOW" will not resume production. Netflix has officially canceled the show, citing concerns over COVID-19. Unfortunate to see. 

AEW did a "Road To" show for this week's Dynamite.

David Arquette is on the latest Two Man Power Trip podcast.

Hell in a Cell has added Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship in a Hell in a Cell match.

EC3 announced his arrival in ROH. I'm intrigued to see how that works out. He is currently a free agent.

RETRIBUTION revealed Mustafa Ali as their leader on Raw. Really didn't see that coming, but we'll see how it plays out.

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

1. There are websites with house show results going back decades.

2. This could be in line with the hiring of Nick Khan as chief financial officer. 

3. Prichard wasn't hired as an on-air talent and already had that podcast going for him when he signed, so they'll argue it's different. 

4. Ricochet is 31. There's plenty of time for him to become more than a reliably exciting high-flyer. It's waaaaayyyyyyy too soon to say he's being wasted. 

5. I don't watch it regularly, but I've enjoyed a lot of what I've seen of their stars in joint shows with NXT. They have something distinct that contrasts well with the style other shows are oversaturated with. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
