INTERESTING NAME NOT BACKSTAGE AT RAW, CAN XFL PLAYERS JUMP TO THE NFL, WWE FORMS WOMEN'S AFFINITY GROUP & MORE

Triple H is not backstage at today's Monday Night Raw.

WWE recently formed a Women's Affinity Group within the company to help bolster the inclusivity of the company's work enviroment.  A number of WWE stars appeared at the first meeting last week in Stamford, including Stephanie McMahon, Mickie James, Nikki Cross, Liv Morgan, Dana Brooke and Charly Caruso. WWE Co-President Michelle Wilson was also in attendance.  We are told there were about 150 at the first meeting.

In regard to a question we have received about XFL Players' potential of playing for the NFL, we are told that the current contracts allow a player to leave for the NFL after the existing XFL season is completed.  So, if someone goes on a tear in the inaugural season, they would be free to sign with an NFL team (if there was interest in them) after the XFL season has been completed.

The plot for tomorrow's episode of Total Divas on E! - "After Ronda Rousey posts an explosive video on social media which upsets the other female Superstars, Ronda must find a way to prove that she's not the villain she's made out to be; Sonya worries her relationship is moving way too fast."

NXT UK will air Thursday morning at 11 AM EST on the WWE Network this week, featuring Spain's A-Kid making his NXT UK TV debut and Dave Mastiff vs. Jordan Devlin.

The Cumberlink Sentinel featured a piece on Carlisle native Evan Mack, who is one of the hosts of WWE's The Bump on the WWE Network at this link.  On what fans can expect from the series, Mack said, "They can expect an original, unscripted, honest approach to sports entertainment. WWE has given me the platform to be creative while hanging out and interviewing the industries top WWE superstars from the past, present and future."  Thanks to Mike Informer.
