  1. Kenny Omega
  2. AJ Styles
  3. Kazuchika Okada
  4. Brock Lesnar
  5. Seth Rollins
  6. Braun Strowman
  7. Roman Reigns
  8. Cody Rhodes
  9. Tetsuya Naito
  10. The Miz
For some reference, PWI puts a lot of weight on the WWE title as the top belt and WWE as the top promotion for the basis of their lists. Lesnar being #4 is entirely due to the length of his Universal reign and the Universal belt being #2 or #3 in overall status.

Indies Roundup:
NJPW announced that All In will be available on-demand for New Japan World subscribers “shortly after the live broadcast.” Further details on when the show will be uploaded haven’t been revealed.

Episode six of “All Us” is largely focused on building to Christopher Daniels vs. Stephen Amell at All In.

Terry Funk told Sports Illustrated that a problem with his abdominal hernia is preventing him from traveling to Starrcast and All In. Funk said about the success of All In: “I think it’s wonderful that Cody is having success, and I was really looking forward to seeing him. Cody and Dusty are similar in so many ways, but they’re different also. I’ve never met anyone like Dusty. He was loved by everyone and everybody. He was a phenomenal in-ring performer who understood the business, and that was passed on to Cody."

FreeSports in the United Kingdom revealed that Revolution Pro Wrestling is going to start airing on the channel in September. RevPro has TV tapings taking place at York Hall in London on September 5 and 6, and they'll air on FreeSports later in the month. 5 Star Wrestling was formerly on FreeSports before the promotion shut down.

This is down from last week's episode, which drew 1.235 million viewers and ranked #3 for the night. This is also the lowest viewership and lowest 18-49 demographic ranking for the show since it began.

Last night's episode was the season one finale of the show. The second season will begin airing some time in 2019 ...

Below is our Miz & Mrs. Season 1 Viewership Tracker with totals:
  • Episode 1: 1.473 million viewers
  • Episode 2: 1.303 million viewers
  • Episode 3: 1.225 million viewers
  • Episode 4: 1.162 million viewers
  • Episode 5: 1.235 million viewers
  • Episode 6: 1.161 million viewers

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Recent episode of the Chasing Glory with Lillian Garcia podcast show had Bobby Roode as the guest. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...stling-in-tna/
  • According to Post Wrestling's John Pollock, WWE recently changed their plans for the Becky-Charlotte storyline due to poor reception. Instead of being a typical face-heel feud, both are going to be presented more evenly in terms of motivates and reasons. Same for Becky's heel turn being dropped in favor of being more anti-hero or Austin-like.
