WWE is selling scale versions of their Hall of Fame statues.
ROH TV this weekend will feature Pure Championship semifinal match between Jay Lethal and David Finlay.
Bobby Lashley is on "After The Bell" this week.
"The Bump" will have Watch Alongs for both nights of the 2020 Draft.
Renee Paquette will host FOX Sports' Smackdown kickoff show on October 16, preceding the official beginning of the show's second "season" on FOX. That could be pretty interesting.
Andrade worked with UNICEF for Hispanic Heritage Month. Cool moment.
WNBA's 2020 champions received a custom WWE Championship.
Dominik Mysterio spoke to Metro about the Eddie Guerrero angle. It had to have been really weird doing a PTA conference with "Oscar" the father out of his mask.
NXT officially announced its latest signings:
- Brandi Pawelek (Brandi Lauren)
- Camron Rogers (Curt Stallion)
- Dartanyon Ruffin (Leon Ruff)
- Joseph Ruby (Joe Gacy)
- Joshua Bruns (Josh Briggs)
- Jacob Kasper, two-time NCAA All-American wrestler
- Jake Clemons as a referee
Smackdown has added Otis going to court over the Money in the Bank briefcase. This is the first time I'm thinking MITB should be shelved as a concept.
Finn Balor reportedly suffered a broken jaw at Takeover 31. I'm not sure how much of that is kayfabe, but it's clear we won't see him in action for a while. I'm curious what that will mean, if anything, for a championship that has already seen back-to-back short reigns.
Ember Moon spoke to Sports Illustrated about her return.
WWE is being sued for WWEShop not complying with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements in regard to the visually impaired. That could really look bad for them if not addressed in a timely manner.
WWE has filed Capitol Wrestling Center related trademarks.
Stardom's Jungle Kyona will require surgery due to an ACL rupture in her left knee and a dislocated right shoulder. She also has an LCL rupture in her right knee. Very sad to see she'll be missing significant time.
Chris Jericho's 30th anniversary got press with New York Post. AEW absolutely made that a prominent episode.
Thunder Rosa has relinquished her TJPW Championship due to being unable to travel internationally. I hope she's able to have success in the U.S. in the meantime.
Ridge Holland was legitimately injured on NXT while catching a crossbody. He was stretchered out of the Capitol Wrestling Center. That really sucks; he seemed poised for bigger things. NXT really needed some fresh names spotlighted.
AEW's World Championship contendership tournament has added Hangman Page, Wardlow, and Colt Cabana. Page and Omega in singles competition is fresh and interesting. I'm here for it.
Dynamite has announced:
- FTR vs. Best Friends for the AEW Tag Team Championship
- Cody vs. Orange Cassidy for the TNT Championship
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. He's in the mix with current and recent top champions. Questions like this are why Vince shouldn't try to appeal to the hypercritical Internet fan.
2. Another ridiculous overreaction. Someone has to lose matches. They're getting consistent TV time and Crews was just United States Champion.
3. To have some big episodes for "the new season" and make a good number of moves at once. It feels arbitrary at this point, especially with no NXT involved. Once again HHH wants to have it both ways with being a third brand but also being its own island.
4. AEW is doing very well for a property this new. That extends to their digital reach.
5. It's often overdone on official AEW programs/streams. There's not a lot that can be done as far as interviews go. Reporters want to run with that juicy conflict, and a lot of people who are in AEW now have reasons they want a fresh start post-WWE.
More wrestling tomorrow.
