Official Wrestling News Thread

Based on those PWInsiderElite.com has spoken to internally within WWE, they are very relieved and happy to be returning to the USA Network from Syfy next week, recognizing that while they needed to be shifted for the Olympics by NBC Universal, the timing of it happening around Summerslam was not the best for WWE. We are told it was seen as something they were doing to be good partners for NBC. The audience dipping weren't unexpected but still not something WWE was thrilled with.

Late in the day yesterday, WWE did a little more media pushes for Raw than usual, building it around the debut of The Wyatt Sicks and the location of their in-ring debut in Baltimore being the same place The Wyatt Family originally debuted on the main roster. That said, we are told there was no worries internally about whether Raw and NXT numbers will return to their usual audience when they are back next week, but that this week, they pushed Raw out a litte harder.

There was a lot of happiness internally about huge social media numbers for the Odyssey Jones debut on Raw last night.

You can expect some main roster stars to be at the initial WWE NXT on CW Tapings to assist with ticket sales.

We are told NXT Lead Coach Matt Bloom is slated to be at this week's Smackdown taping.

We've been asked if the Jacob Fatu injury at Summerslam was a work. No one who knows for sure is talking that we've heard thus far. Fatu was seen with a walking boot after the show. WWE has been thrilled with Fatu's work thus far we are told. "He brings a true element of danger", one source commented.

Since some have asked, we are told no injuries for CM Punk or Drew McIntyre.

Former AEW star Brock Anderson was backstage at Summerslam
 


Several months ago, PWInsiderElite.com reported that WWE was eyeing taking NXT on the road for the debut CW Network episodes and that Chicago would likely be the destination for the first episode. Chicago is the home of one of the headquarters for Nexstar Media Group, which now owns the CW Network and made the NXT deal.

AEW's Britt Baker will soon be seen on Netflix's hit series Cobra Kai, PWInsiderElite.com can confirm.

The series, which continues the story of The Karate Kid film series, is currently in the middle of its final planned season, which has built to a massive international karate tourmament, which will take place in Spain.

Baker will be playing a character described to PWInsiderElite.com as a "European fighter" on one of the teams competing in the tournament. Baker filmed her scenes, including fight sequences, prior to her AEW return, which was delayed in order to allow her to take part in the series. There is no word how large the role is at this time.

The first batch of Cobra Kai episodes this season culminate with the cast arriving at the tournament.

Baker will be seen in the later episodes, the first of which will premiere this November on Netflix.

TNT will be launching a new series titled TNT OVERDRIVE on Saturdays at 10 PM Eastern, following AEW Collision. The first episode will premiere this week.

The series will feature clips of crazy "adrenaline junkie" style clips with segments introduced by AEW talents as well as AEW stars telling stories about their lives and careers.

Promotional material for the series premiere promises "Elite athletes face giant grizzly bears; fierce cops chase runaway suspects; big-tire UTVs race in mud; daredevils perform insane stunts; and PO'd drivers meltdown."

This is the latest crossover between AEW and WBD properties of late, including Shark Week promotion on AEW Dynamite, DC Comics publishing AEW material and AEW collaborating with Adult Swim

It wasnt until about late June where Fightful reported he got hurt. But before that nigga vanished into thin air after Melo confronted him before the KOR tourney started and nobody knew what happened. But I guess you can connect dots cause niggas just dont up and go missing from tv.
