Meltzer said Rhodes hopes to work with Mike Bennett in TNA, someone he worked with recently in an indy appearance. That would also give Rhodes' wife Brandi an opportunity to work as well as Bennett is flanked by his wife, Maria Kanellis.

With ROH, Meltzer said Rhodes hopes to work with ROH Champion Adam Cole but nothing has been determined yet. Rhodes is slated to work ROH's December Final Battle PPV which would be his first with the company.

One thing that still has to be worked out is that he doesn't have the right to use the Rhodes name on television, but is still using the Rhodes name on the indies.

And usually, if you're going to have the rights to use your name, like CM Punk, going forward, you know, it's because you had prior usage before going there. And you know, he never worked for anyone but WWE. So he had no prior usage. But it's like, the frickin' Rhodes name goes back 50 years in this business. And he's a member of that family. And WWE did not create Dusty Rhodes. They did not come up with the name Dusty Rhodes. By the time he got there, Dusty Rhodes was one of the three biggest attractions in the country, before he got there in the first place. I guess they'll work things -- he's trying to work things out with them over that. I had seen stuff where he had tweeted that, I wasn't completely familiar if that was exactly the case. But that's exactly the case. If he's in ROH on television or TNA on television, he cannot be Cody Rhodes
More details on Cody not being allowed to use the Rhodes name from now on.

Also going up was the 1980 WWF vs. NWA champion battle with Harley Race vs. Bob Backlund.
Before it was found, it was presumed to have been lost forever due to legal issues or someone accidentally erasing the tape. PWI has some theories and possible explanations on how the footage was found: http://www.pwinsider.com/article/104...lanta.html?p=1

If he manages to hold the title until December, the show will be Shinsuke Nakamura's homecoming as NXT Champion. NXT Women's Champion Asuka is also scheduled to return to her home country for the show. She previously defended her title in Japan twice during WWE's tour of the country in July.

Not to be forgotten after recently returning from a lengthy absence due to a shoulder injury, Hideo Itami tweeted that he will appear on the show. Itami hasn't wrestled in Japan since joining WWE in 2014.

Coachman revealed on Twitter he got involved once he got aware of what happened.

The original title of "Lady Balls" was recently rejected due to the trademark office not allowing WWE to get the rights to either word.

A witness tells us Hall was at the Friday's in the Atlanta airport on Saturday ... drinking Coors Lights and tequila shots. He allegedly hit on the bartender and called her a bitch, and that's when trouble started brewing with the bartender's father ... who was at the bar.

We're told Hall didn't believe the guy was really her dad, and a manager stepped in and asked him to leave -- when he refused, someone called cops.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers responded to the intoxicated person call. They recognized Hall as his former wrestling alter ego, Razor Ramon ... shook his hand and calmed the situation. You can see in the video though, Scott didn't want to give up his beer easily.

We're told Scott left without further incident and no police report was filed.

Hall has a history with booze and drug abuse, but has said he's been sober recently. We've reached out to his rep.

Jan claims she doesn’t believe Chyna’s manager Anthony Anzaldo was completely honest in the wake of Laurer’s death, and now that time has passed, she believes some of his moves need to be further looked into. Most notably, LaQue points out that her daughter seems to have fired Anzaldo weeks before passing away.

In emails obtained by The Sheet … Chyna wrote her mom saying the manager stole money from her, so she was taking a break from the guy. Joanie added, “Please refrain from talking to Anthony at the moment.” At the time, Jan says she was worried her daughter was just dealing with personal demons.

Upon further thought in the time that has passed, LaQue fears that maybe wasn’t the case. Which is why she’s now speaking up about it.

And even worse, we’re told the manager gave away Joanie’s cello — the news of which was first brought to our attention via the Chyna for The WWE Hall of Fame Facebook page — and he’s been confrontational each time her mother has tried getting answers on who received it, where the rest of her stuff has been placed, or how the money that was donated to her estate is being used.
