WWE looking for music hire, assorted wrestling press, AEW talent updates, Road To special coming to TNT, Raw talent renamed, Dynamite+NXT audiences, Hager MMA result, and Questions on Reckoning's Raw behavior, Aces & 8s vs. RETRIBUTION, WWE pulling Riddle, and moving Thunderdome

WWE is seeking a music group coordinator. 

Poppy has a special Halloween Havoc T-shirt. Very cool!

Dynamite's Serena Deeb vs. Leyla Hirsch match was a replacement for Tay Conti vs. Abadon. Hirsch is expected to appear more in AEW after this appearance.

AEW will feature the team of Anthony Bowens and Max Caster more going forward.

Brodie Lee is on the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast.

World Series champions Los Angeles Dodgers received a custom WWE Championship.

Michelle McCool discussed wanting to face Charlotte Flair on The Bump. I am all for that!

Road To Full Gear will air on TNT Friday night.

Matt Riddle has been officially renamed Riddle. WWE has become a parody of itself with moves like this. The process of integrating NXT stars on other brands needs a complete overhaul. Before someone moves to Raw or Smackdown, things like ring name, look, etc. need to be finalized. Frankly, the higher-ups need to be keeping better track of what talents are being paid so much to do in NXT. If they want to make changes, it should be done earlier in the process when a talent is still "training" for what they'll eventually be on Raw or Smackdown.

Dynamite drew 781,000 for its latest episode, a pretty decent number.

Halloween Havoc drew 876,000 viewers, a very significant increase from last week's 644,000. That's even better than the weeks when they went unopposed. I'd like to think that's a message that the brand needs to be more "fun" and less about athletes winning matches and titles with little in the way of characterization.

Big Swole is on Brandi Rhodes' latest podcast.

Jake Hager won his Bellator bout by split decision. 

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

Nothing to add to 1. 

2. I'm starting to wonder if even WWE knows what they're doing these days. They're throwing anything and everything they can to try to get people paying attention to WWE TV.

3. Aces & 8s was definitely more of a threat and wasn't as thrown together. 

4. Previously I said they'd be lucky to make it to WrestleMania. At this point they might not make it to Royal Rumble. 

5. WWE is firmly in his corner, having been aware of this situation for years. 

6. There is interest in doing it in other states, too, though of course a lot of WWE talent and staff are local to Florida.

More wrestling coming up.
