Rousey was also interviewed by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto after the event. She discussed how proud she was of Baszler and again said that she wanted to keep the spotlight on Baszler when not answering a question about what’s next for her.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal asked Charlotte Flair, Bayley, and Becky Lynch how Rousey would fare in WWE.

Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O'Reilly's stable finally has its name.
WWE Shop released the first shirt for the trio of former ROH wrestlers today, with their merchandise page calling them "The Undisputed Era." The name of the stable is displayed on the front of the shirt, along with the letters "CFO" for Cole, Fish, and O'Reilly. "Shock The System" is written on the back of it.
This is the first time that the stable has been identified by name. They joined together and attacked Drew McIntyre as Adam Cole debuted at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn last month, which came after Fish and O'Reilly attacked SAnitY earlier in the night. Fish and O'Reilly had already debuted in losses to Aleister Black on NXT television prior to TakeOver.

Loosely based on 1980s female wrestling league The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, the first season of GLOW was a critical success, telling the talent of a fictional troupe put together to film a TV pilot, which airs as the first season ends.

We are told that it was not meant to be a public launch in any way but that they were working on preparing the site for launch. The problem was, they didn't put the work behind a wall so that fans couldn't access the site. Once the company realized that word was getting around that the site was being used and that it was being reported it was live and operational, they shut down the entire thing.

ESPN is putting the finishing touched on their Flair 30 for 30 documentary, which will air this November. There has been talk of doing an advance screening in NYC and the hope is Flair will be well enough to travel for that.

Corbin, a former professional football player, took exception to Maroon downplaying the link between concussions and CTE and started an argument with Maroon. The argument was described as awkward and uncomfortable, with many believing that Corbin should have addressed the matter privately rather than in the middle of the meeting. It's highly likely that WWE officials grew even more uncomfortable once they found out Corbin's involvement in a football players' concussion lawsuit against the NFL.
"It also came out in the discussion that Corbin was one of the players suing the NFL in a concussion lawsuit, which makes things weird given he's now working as a pro wrestler," Dave Meltzer wrote in the Observer. "Plus WWE apparently wasn't aware of this fact until this past month."
