The actual rating isn't available but it would be expected to be the second-lowest Monday night rating for wrestling ever on the USA Network.

Raw lost to everything on the networks except CW and Raw was 16th for the day on cable, the lowest it has done in years ...

The three hours were:

8 p.m. 2.50 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.33 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.08 million viewers

Who gets to yell at Samoa Joe and kind of put a little bit of fear in his eyes? Not a lot of people get to do that. If that was an opportunity that came down my way, I would definitely wear that hat, that would be really, really fun.”

PROGRESS Wrestling’s “Hello Wembley” card on Sunday ran long and caused many fans to leave the building to catch their train home and missed the main event. As a cool gesture on the part of the promotion, they are going to post the main event between Walter and Tyler Bate for free as a make good on their Demand Progress streaming service. The entire show from Sunday should be up and available for purchase this week.

Game Changer Wrestling has announced “Joey Janela’s L.A. Confidential” card will take place from Los Angeles on Friday, November 16th (the weekend of Survivor Series in the city) with tickets going on sale tonight. Janela will not be wrestling on the show.

On 9/26, the company also filed trademarks on the following terms:
-"Phenomenal One", obviously in reference to WWE Champion AJ Styles.
-"Fearless Nikki", for usage related to Nikki Bella.
-"The Awesome One", for usage related to Miz.
-"The Glorious One", related obviously to Bobby Roode.

Mauro Ranallo, Kairi Sane, and Io Shirai were all seen in the audience at the New Japan card in Long Beach on Sunday.
