Originally Posted by Observer We should have a full report from the show later, but the card for WWE’s first show on the European tour today had Triple H teaming with Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose against Cesaro, Sheamus & Bray Wyatt in Glasgow, Scotland. The lineups for the tour had to be reshuffled since Roman Reigns wasn't medically cleared to go on it. He was supposed to team with Rollins & Ambrose, though WWE later announced that they'd be defending their tag titles against Cesaro & Sheamus before changing the cards again. Triple H wore full Shield gear for the match after being given a vest by Rollins, who cut a promo trying to explain the logic of Triple H teaming with them by saying that it was a call that he never thought he’d make and that you always need to have a plan B. The match in Glasgow was Wyatt’s first since being out for the last several weeks with a viral infection.

Originally Posted by PWI The Squared Circle Sirens website reported today that Impact Wrestling has released MJ Jenkins, the talent who was signed to a deal after taking a LONG bus ride to Orlando to work as an enhancement talent. She had been used a few times but was never really given much of a TV presence. We have independently confirmed the release. Jenkins was obviously very early on in her career and needed seasoning, but something about the company letting her go really saddens me, given that what she was willing to through for a chance got her the job in the first place. That's the type of person you want on your roster. Hopefully she can continue to grow as a talent and rebound. Although the talk when this round of tapings was moved to Ottawa is that the company was pretty much done with taping at Universal Studios Orlando for awhile, all indications internally are that the January TV tapings will indeed be back in Orlando, Florida. Talks of tapings in Chicago, by the way, have greatly lessened.

Originally Posted by PWI On Saturday evening 11/4, there will be a special VIP dinner for fans with the talents. There will not be an Impact Hall of Famer announced. The initial pitched idea by Jeff Jarrett several months ago was to induct his father, Jerry Jarrett, who founded the company, but that obviously isn't going to happen now. The decision was made to wait on any inductions. James Storm, who the company listed in a video as entering the Hall of Fame, told us earlier this week no one ever actually approached him about an induction and if they had, he would have fought against it as he feels the HOF should be for someone at the end of their career - which he feels he is not. Storm was at the ESPN Atlanta screening of the Ric Flair ESPN documentary last week.

Originally Posted by PWI On this week’s episode of ‘Dinner With The King,’ co-hosts Jerry “The King” Lawler and Glenn Moore chat about some of the monsters he booked during the classic Memphis wrestling days. From Dr. Frank to Freddy to Leatherface, The King shares some audio and the backstories behind these characters. The King also talks about the 25th Anniversary of Raw coming up in January and if he will be a part of the celebratory events: "I’m not really sure. I would expect to be. How could they talk about 25 years of Raw without including me in some sort of way? I know I’m going to be a part of the Royal Rumble [show]. I don’t know about calling the match [like last year], but probably the kick-off show and all that sort of stuff. “ On early Raw shows at Manhattan Center: "One of the things about was amazing about it, was the Manhattan Center wasn’t a very big venue. At the time, they didn’t know how successful this thing was going to become. It was in the very early stages. Just an infant being born at the Manhattan Center. And this place was small compared to the Barclays Center. It was a very small venue. The main thing I remember is having to dress, get ready for the matches, and get ready for the show in the stairwells. There was just not enough dressing rooms. And guys were dressing every little nook and cranny and broom closets to get ready for the show.” Being in the new WWE mobile game: "Did a two-hour voiceover. It’s a mobile game. It is awesome. I had a chance to look at the graphics. And it is really good. I’m on the commentary for this game. They wanted it to sound like the Attitude Era. I don’t know if they are going to use J.R. or who-else they are going to use. I just know I did a two-hour session and did almost 300 lines for it the other day. They are going to have me back to do some more.”

Originally Posted by PWI Big Japan has launched their own streaming service BJW Core. It appears to cost ¥888 a month, which at the current exchange rate is around $7.79 US. Looking at their selection, they seem to currently only have events going back to 2016 available on demand, but will have past home video releases added.

Originally Posted by WrestleInc We noted before that Kalisto vs. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore is now official for the November 19th WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view. It appears this was a late change as last week there was a plan for a 5-on-5 Traditional Elimination Match with the cruiserweights. The match was to have Team Captain Enzo, Noam Dar, Tony Nese, Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari taking on Team Captain Kalisto, Sin Cara, Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali and Rich Swann.

Originally Posted by WrestleInc As noted, WWE announced on Sunday that they have parted ways with Emma, Summer Rae and Darren Young. Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated reports that Emma's departure had been in the works for some time as she had significant heat with company officials. The doors reportedly remain open for Emma to return down the line but some see her departure as "addition by subtraction" in the locker room. Emma reportedly created enemies on the WWE writing staff and made those issues worse with the way she spoke out on Twitter. Emma did have as much respect as an in-ring performer as any other female Superstars in the locker room but her release sent a message to the locker room. The decision to release Emma, Young and Summer reportedly came on Friday during Vince McMahon's routine budget meeting. The Superstars were told on Sunday before they would have needed to fly out for work on Monday. WWE then made the announcements on their website and social media accounts.
