Liv Morgan will be the subject of a WWE Network documentary in November.

WWE Network is adding more of Prime Time Wrestling in November.

The Undertaker will be on "Break It Down" on WWE Network this month.

Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Matt Sydal, Katie Forbes, and Tommy Chong will be in a wrestling movie. Fans are being scouted as extras for a wrestling scene.

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

1. I'd be fine with the winning brand getting the final spot in the Royal Rumble, but I think ultimately I'd drop the concept. Honestly Survivor Series as a whole is outdated.

2 is a repeat.

3. I also think it worked well as a special TV episode, given how samey the weekly show had become. 

4. It depends on the wrestler and the match. If every other wrestler is flying around, it's good to have someone who utilizes skills the other wrestlers can't do. Of course, having someone with limited mobility work a long, plodding match isn't fun, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to have acrobatic routines. 

5. Could be a solid plan to make the event meaningful. WWE would have to commit to it, though. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
