AEW Dynamite did over 1,000,000 viewers for the second week in a row, hitting an average of 1.104 million and becoming the second most watched show on cable television for Wednesday night. The 18-49 demo was 0.37, down a bit from last week's 0.44, but still impressive overall. (SBD)

This seems unnecessarily rude -- WWE sent Mickie James' personal effects back to her in a GARBAGE BAG. For those who think she staged the photo, Gail Kim suggested in a reply that the same thing happened to her.

In this interview Impact's Ace Austin says he wants a match with Samoa Joe: "No doubt about it. I've been compared to AJ Styles for the entirety of my career so far. So to have that 21st century Samoa Joe versus modern day AJ, I think would be a marquee match for sure. 100%."

Chris Jericho says nothing was off limits when he did Steve Austin's show: "No. Both Vince and Tony had to give their approval. But I think they both trust me and they trust Steve and know that we're not going to do some kind of a wonton burial or talk about a bunch of shit that doesn't matter. I never would have done this show and Steve would have never had me on the show if the idea wasn't to talk about my whole career because that's what people want to hear about."

Here's what's set for NXT UK next week. (WWE)

* Teoman vs. Rohan Raja
* Eddie Dennis, Primate, and Tyson T-Bone vs. Gallus
* Aiofe Valkyrie vs. Meiko Satomura

Tasha Steelz talks about Kenny Omega bringing more eyes to Impact Wrestling: "When Kenny was competing with us, you know, several PPV's ago there was definitely brand new eyes there. And we just had to turn it up 10 times more. Not that we don't already do it, but to prove to everyone why we say we are who we are it's always good to go in and and reintroduce ourselves to people all over again. That's like one of my favorite things because I like to, you know, my actions speak louder than my words. I love to talk. But I also love to do that walking too. So I'm excited. I know Kiera she's excited for it. And we're just ready to prove. We know that the AEW locker room will be watching because they are rooting for their their home guy Kenny. And of course the IMPACT locker room will be watching because we're rooting for Rich. So yeah, everybody is just going to turn it up 10 times more and Rebellion is going to be the talk for a while after Sunday."

Triple H says he fired the person who sent Mickie James her belongings in a garbage bag, but according to Mike Bennett WWE did the same thing to Maria Kanellis when they were both released. If it happened to her, Gail Kim and Mickie James this was clearly not a one time thing from a rogue employee.

Sean Waltman was shocked WWE released Samoa Joe: "People are bummed out. I am too. The thing is this is Samoa Joe man. He's a main eventer anywhere as far as I'm concerned, and it just opens up so many great possibilities. I'm looking forward to seeing where he ends up. I could see ROH. He has a history with ROH and Impact even. I guess it just depends on what they're offering. Here's the thing, they released a dozen people or whatever all at once. Some people might think, 'Well, you put a glut of talent on the market,' but there's not a glut of talent like Samoa Joe on the market, no matter how many people get released."
