WWE expects to bring back most of its furloughed employees by the end of 2020. That's a positive sign of improvement.

Marvel and AAA are planning further integration if TripleMania goes well.

Stardom talents are hiring personal trainers to stand out in the Bushiroad era.

wXw has temporarily closed their wrestling school due to COVID.

ROH is looking to use Rush and Dragon Lee again in December. 

Thunder Rosa is expected to work further AEW dates.

WWE talents have shut down Twitch accounts due to direct orders from the company. A number of talents met with Vince McMahon to change his mind, but were unsuccessful. 

- Paige was especially upset at this move, lashing out at the company on the service. 

WWE changing Riddle's name was due to the company trying to distance themselves from negative press associated with him when his name is searched. 

Raw in Canada continued the feed past the U.S. ending, though there was no talk from the announcers.

NXT has announced Tommaso Ciampa vs. Velveteen Dream and Ember Moon vs. Dakota Kai.

WCW executive Jim Herd is being interviewed on Conrad Thompson's podcast network.

MLW Fusion returns with fresh episodes November 18.

WWE has trademarked "Then Now Forever" as well as NXT UK ring names Tyson T-Bone and Xia Brookside.

NXT UK has signed Rampage Brown.

Sting no longer has merchandise on WWE Shop, likely meaning an end to the working relationship between the two sides. We'll see where he ends up next. 

A&E will be doing documentaries on Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart.

PAC will appear on Dynamite this week to "update his status." I don't expect to see him wrestle anytime soon, which is a shame.

Xavier Woods is doing a WWE Meet & Greet on Wednesday.

Batista is booked for a movie called "Universe's Most Wanted" that will begin shooting in the spring.

Shane Taylor is on the most recent ROH Strong podcast.

Stephen Amell injured himself during "Heels" filming while performing a stunt. Production has not been stopped. 

Impact has signed Fallah Bahh to a new contract. I'm curious what his future holds.

WWE won a SPORTEL Award for their execution of Thunderdome.

ROH announced storyline fines for Matt Taven and Vincent due to their recent attacks. 

A Tracy Smothers Memorial Fund has been setup on GoFundMe

Smackdown's Survivor Series women's team has added Bianca Belair.

Smackdown's Survivor Series men's team has added Kevin Owens and Jey Uso.

Smackdown has announced Sasha Banks vs. Bayley for the Smackdown Women's Championship.

The Undertaker appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

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

Nothing to add to 1.

2. Yes, with WWE's approval. I don't expect a standalone game for either company that's been gone this many years, though. The WWE brand is much stronger.

Nothing to add to 3, 4, or 6.

5. I would think if WWE felt there was a lot of demand for the product, we could see it again. 

More wrestling coming up.
