The first match announced for Extreme Rules is Smackdown Women's Champion Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey.

The preliminary viewership for last night's WWE Smackdown on FOX was 2,227,000 viewers.  We will have the final number after the weekend.

The current plan for the next round of WWE programming on A&E is to debut it in January 2023.  A&E production has been extremely busy filming Hidden Treasures as well as content for future Biography installments over the last few weeks.  

Rey and Dominik Mysterio were both spotted in Asheville, NC yesterday, which is where Edge lives.  One has to think they might have been filming something there for the Edge & Rey vs. Dominik storyline.

WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter has been announced for the Stand Alone Wrestling Contest of Champions event on Saturday 12/4 in Toms River, NJ.  The event will feature a Fanfest and a live event that night.

The classic Roddy Piper film Bodyslam the Movie is now streaming for free on Tubi.  Directed by legendary stuntman Hal Needham, the plot of the film " "M.

Tanya Roberts (TV’s Charlie’s Angels) co-stars with a bevy of real-life wrestling greats including Roddy Piper (They Live), Sam “The Tonga Kid” Fatu (Highlander) and Captain Lou Albano (Wise Guys) in this raucous action-comedy from the king of death-defying Hollywood mayhem!"   The film features tons of cameos from wrestling personalities, including Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino, Afa and Sika, The Barbarian, Teijo Khan, Freddie Blassie, Adnan Al-Kaissie and more.
