GFW update, Interviews with Rock/AJ, promoter passes away, Impact audience, another Lesnar appearance, more WWE scholarships, Network-UK updates, and Questions on Gail Kim, Divas in a Cell, Team Authority, Cena vs. Orton, and a free month of the Network

In November, GFW is expected to announce talents signed, venues for live events, and more international PPVs to be distributed. It looks like things might finally be coming together for them to produce something concrete. I'm interested to see what form it takes. It's easy to see it as competing with TNA as it seems to decline, but I think in many ways it should be examined as its own entity going in its own direction.

The Rock talked about coming back to wrestling in 2011 and more. That's a really good piece overall. Very interesting.

AJ Lee talked about Paige, Batman, and more. I'm glad she and Paige are going so far.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

WWE Q3 2014 results

MMA name now training to wrestle, Interview with Borash, WWE press, WWE tryout video, Cena not set for Raw, new WWE PPV name?, Steen's WWE name, and Questions on adult content in WWE, the Streak ending, tag team streeet fights, late WCW vs. current WWE, and WWE's schedule

Matthew Riddle, who after appearing on the Ultimate Fighter has competed for both UFC and Bellator with a record of 8-3, is now training to be a wrestler alongside his wife. I'm curious to see how they do. He's got his work cut out for him following the wrestling careers or lack thereof of King Mo and Rampage Jackson.

Jeremy Borash gave a long-form interview about the current state of TNA and more. I wouldn't assume the clock strikes midnight for them at the end of 2014, but they're definitely in a concerning place with no U.S. TV deal for next year.

Daniel Bryan, Stephanie McMahon, and Darren Young attended an anti-bullying rally. I hope we see Bryan and Darren Young in the ring sooner rather than later.

Main Event Reax - 10/28/14, Interviews with AJ/Dolph/Hogan/Striker, NXT stars talk Halloween, NXT injury update, Bully teaser, Angle contract update, Reigns update, Punk correction, Raw audience, Del Rio update, more on lawsuit, Bryan update, and Questions on a new Wyatt Family, Summerslam 2015, the Network, and Vince's booking

Main Event:
I liked the opening segment, but wasn't it supposed to be about Mark Henry turning on Big Show? WWE booking can be quite haphazard these days.

Good match for those two teams. The angle continues.

I enjoyed Paige vs. Natalya. It's nice to see Paige doing something different for the time being. I hope she continues to develop a separate identity from AJ.

I liked Bo's promo. It's good for him to want to be part of the main event of a major PPV.

Fine main event for keeping Sheamus' momentum going.

Foley on HIAC ending, Stardust update, NXT lineup, another Sting appearance, Haynes lawsuit update, Wyatt note, more WWEPC press, Punk-WWE update, notes on recent WWE tryouts and signings, Smackdown audience, what happened after Raw, and Questions on making Raw must-see, AJ vs. Trish, the brand extension, Taker's future, and Punk the ROH HoFer

Mick Foley defended the ending to the Ambrose/Rollins HIAC match. I'm mostly OK with it. It's all a matter of where they go from here and if Ambrose does get to be a true top guy.

WWE is selling Stardust masks and gloves, so I expect the character to continue for a while. Everyone involved has done a great job with the new gimmick.

Set for this week's NXT:
- Tag team battle royal to determine the #1 Contenders for the Lucha Dragons
- Carmella vs. Emma
- Bull Dempsey vs. Justin Gabriel
- Baron Corbin vs. Tony Briggs
- Marcus Louis vs. Sylvester LeFort
- Sami Zayn vs. Titus O'Neill

NXT is always worth checking out.
