Some details below regarding the reasoning for the decision via PWInsider

The impression I get is that the post-PPV TVs would not be at Universal Studios Orlando, but somewhere in Canada as well. We are told this does not mean that GFW has pulled up stakes at Universal as a TV taping location going forward.

From PWI's weekly Q&A articles. Found it interesting mainly because of threads and posts within the year on TPWW about the distrust of anonymous sources, thinking they are cowards for wanting to be anonymous, and/or not understanding why they can't be revealed.

Sasha also does a "Her Take" segment and picks WWE NXT over RAW, Chyna over Sable and Steve Austin over The Rock. Sasha adds that she loves Austin and Rock but she picks Austin because he once "slid into her DMs" on Twitter to compliment her on a match.

The AOP won the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in November of last year and then won the NXT Tag Team Titles from DIY at "Takeover: San Antonio" in January of this year. They just lost the titles to SAnitY at "Takeover: Brooklyn III" in August.
