Mike Rotunda remembers Bray Wyatt.

No surprises on Dom given how great he's been doing with Judgment Day. He reportedly re-signed a month ago, but it was just announced yesterday. I know some people wondered if Rey would be retiring soon but not for a few more years it seems.

• Gunther defends his title against The Miz in a high-stakes Survivor Series rematch

• The Creed Brothers to challenge The Judgment Day for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles

*(The Rookie of Stardom 'Tournament' (it has taken multiple formats depending on the year and available competitors) is an annual tournament which is contested between wrestlers who made their debuts during the year.

The Triangle Derby Tournament (which only started last year) is a modified round-robin Trios tag tournament.)*

AZM, Utami Hayashishita & Saya Kamitani vs. Megan Bayne, Suzu Suzuki & Mei Seira

Kota Ibushi reflects on his shoulder injury and says he thought about retiring.

QT Marshall will hit free agency soon

Let's reflect shall we?

How fucking stupid and pointless was this whole segment?

Most peoples thoughts are that with the wording, Okada has retained Barry Bloom's services in regards to contract negotiations.

Sometimes there's a performer that just adds a little something to a standard move that takes it from a regular move to something that could be a finisher..

Like Athena, I've been catching up on Final Battle and God damn her shotgun drop kick looks like the most vicious and impactful run of the mill move out there right now. I don't know if it's just her frame and the way she looks when she bends her legs in or if she's just had great camera angles but ever since she went with this aggressive heel angle it's been one of the nastiest looking moves on TV.

Who has or had a move like that for you?

Don't see much details yet but presumably this is spoilers for this coming week:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(cw: kinda gnarly)

For anyone interested in the toy end of things, Jazwares has announced officially licensed Briscoe Brothers figures coming next year!
