Assorted wrestling press, Cassidy wins gold, WWE game show coming, Sane update, WWE stars close T-shirt stores, Draft notes, big Rock milestone, WWE exec honored, BFG in multiple languages, Dynamite+NXT audiences, NXT UK title match set, NXT surgery, Riddle facing lawsuit, Raw injury, and Questions on WWE honoring Regis, HIAC, a longer Dynamite, and Network library choices

UWF's Stevie Ray discussed Herb Abrams on VOC Nation's "In The Room." Here are highlights

Orange Cassidy has won DDT's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship, defeating Dean Malenko. I'm curious if we'll see more DDT crossover with AEW when international travel is viable again.

The Miz and Maryse are developing a WWE Studios game show, "Brawl in the Family."

Kairi Sane spoke to Tokyo Sports about her future. She is open to competing when WWE runs shows in Japan. 

MVP and Chelsea Green have closed their Pro Wrestling Tees store in response to WWE's new third party edict. 

WWE Draft notes:

- Stephanie McMahon will appear for both nights.

- Tag teams can be drafted together or separately

- Any wrestler not drafted is a free agent

- Raw Underground's Dabba-Kato and Arturo Ruas are eligible to be drafted

The Rock passed 200 million Instagram followers, the most of any American male. That's massive.

WWE vice president Laura Petrucelli was honored at The Future Is Female Awards.

Bound For Glory will have announce teams in Spanish, French, and German. Konnan, Moody Jack Melendez, and Sylvain Grenier will all be calling matches.

Dynamite drew 753,000 viewers for the Chris Jericho anniversary episode on the night of the vice presidential debate.

NXT drew 639,000 viewers for the Takeover 31 followup show on the night of the vice presidential debate. 

WWE will report its third quarter earnings on October 29.

NXT UK Champion Walter vs. Ilja Dragunov is set for the October 29 NXT UK. I'm curious what the plan is for that.

Ridge Holland had surgery for a left ankle dislocation and fracture, a right kneecap dislocation, and a knee tendon rupture.

Matt Riddle's sexual assault accuser has stated she will file a lawsuit against him, WWE, and Gabe Sapolsky. The accuser claims she was released from EVOLVE due to refusing to perform sexual acts with Riddle. She is seeking over $40 million. This is obviously a major lawsuit and will likely shine a big spotlight on WWE and Riddle. 

Mickie James recently suffered a broken nose. She has not been cleared to return.

Chris Jericho appeared at New York Comic Con with Kevin Smith. 

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

1. They just never made a move to induct him. 

Nothing to add to 2. 

3. I expect three Cell matches.

4. It would definitely be big for them. I don't know about an overrun, but they are looking to have a second weekly show.

5. Oh yeah, it's much easier to use content that's already "ready."

More wrestling tomorrow.
