• All three teams will play one game tonight and a day-night doubleheader tomorrow to get their series in.

• Speaking of costly career-over moves...  Just nine days before what is being billed as "The Largest Event In Professional Wrestling History", AEW's All In in London's Wembley Stadium (and it's not THAT FAR from the truth -- it appears about the only event researchers can find which is selling more than this show was the Dallas Wrestlemania), Cash Wheeler of FTR has been arrested -- aggravated assault with a firearm.
• Apparently happened several weeks ago.
• Arrest warrant July 28
• Not guilty plea two weeks ago
• And yet, this Wednesday, they put together a trilogy match between FTR and The Young Bucks.
