Bound For Glory injuries, Taker tributes, Bump guests, Impact cameo updates, ROH names removed, and Questions on Roman's heel turn, Blood and Guts, Hardy vs. Guevara continuing, AEW's braintrust, and the Jericho-MJF musical

Heath was hospitalized after Bound For Glory, likely due to a hernia. He was originally scheduled to win the Call Your Shot gauntlet match. He's very fortunate Rhino wasn't eliminated early.

The Undertaker will be a subject of a Sony special in India on November 15. That says a lot about how big of a deal he is.

William Shatner, Michelle McCool, Izzy, Rey Mysterio, and Shotzi Blackheart are all set for "The Bump" Wednesday.

Alex Shelley was taken out of Bound For Glory due to a legitimate injury.

Tommy Dreamer got a broken tooth at Bound For Glory.

James Storm, Swoggle, and Shawn Daivari were all present for Impact TV, so it's conceivable we see them again soon.

Marty Scurll and Dan Maff have been removed from ROH's roster. That's pretty telling in the case of Scurll given how he was going to be such a prominent part of their business. That could have ripple effects for ROH's standing and partnerships.

Survivor Series will center around The Undertaker's 30th anniversary. That's intriguing!

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

1. I'm very much enjoying what we're seeing now. It's fresh, and it resonates with a lot of people. I can't say how it's doing with the majority of the WWE Universe or what it's meaning for business, but it certainly has people talking. 

2. They do want to return with the match at some point. AEW absolutely does not want to have a reputation of false advertisement. 

3. Someone(s) with the pull to make this happen clearly want to do more "Broken" content, so that's what we're getting. 

4. It's way too early to say. Realistically to be a top promotion it helps to have people who have experience in being in important promotions, though. Can it backfire? Sure, but so far things are going well.

5. I will give MJF credit for his musical background. Other than that, we're seeing that "All Friends Wrestling" can really be a showcase of things wrestlers with big contracts personally enjoy. Jericho is finally the top level star he's always wanted to be, and he's using the perks others in his position have used. In his defense, it's worked for ratings during a pandemic and against other prominent shows.

More wrestling tomorrow.
