In case you missed it, we have full coverage of the excellent NXT Takeover Fatal Four Way show from last night elsewhere on the site. Richard Trionfo did the play-by-play, Mike Johnson did his “What Worked” column and I blogged. The show made The Network worth this month’s price all by itself. You can find the coverage by scrolling down the main page.

Steven Fernandes sent this item. … Ric Flair is advertised for next week's Smackdown taping in Biloxi, MS. He will be the special referee for the Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton dark match Main Event. 

Jack Swagger was interviewed by The Clarion Ledger to promote Saturday’s house show and Tuesday’s Smackdown taping in Mississippi. You can read it by clicking here.

Dolph Ziggler did an interview with WOIO-TV in Cleveland.

Hardeep Asrani sent this item. … I was watching WWE Smackdown in India and TenSports (not WWE) showed a banner which said: "Raw Live - Coming Soon”. I made a quick Google search and found out this press release, which points out they have expanded partnership which will take them to 2019, and it includes Main Event show, Live Events in 2015, "a new one-hour fully customized version of ‘Raw’, tailored specifically for the Indian audience"...and more. You can view it by clicking here.

Lee Relph reporting. … An ad in the UK papers today for the November 5th WWE Live show at Wembley has John Cena vs Seth Rollins and Rusev vs Big Show listed as the big matches. There is no mention of the Cena match being for the WWE title nor is he pictured with the belt. Make of that what you will.

Dave Batista and Ricky Steamboat will be appearing at the Wizard World Richmond Comic Con in Richmond, VA tomorrow. Steamboat appears from 11:00 to 2:00 p.m. while Batista’s three hour period begins at 3:00 p.m.
