Sarray already has bookings outside of WWE -- that took no time at all. Apparently her supporters in NXT had been released by WWE in early 2022, and William Regal's departure to go to AEW ended any chance of her getting a push from the promotion. (FF)

I hate to say I called this on Glove Up or Shut Up, but "permission to look smug sir" because QT Marshall is now taking credit for breaking into Wardlow's car, meaning the whole thing was a work all along. He will apparently show us the footage on QTV next week on Dynamite.

In this interview Kane (Glenn Jacobs) talks about being WWE champion in 2009: "It was cool. I won the title against Austin at King of the Ring but then lost it the next day. So, to have a much longer run as champion was amazing. I had three pay-per-view matches with The Undertaker. To have the spotlight of the entire company on you in that way, was cool and the pinnacle of a wrestling career. It was cool. Winning the title against Austin, even though I only held it for one day, was still so special. It was at a time when WWE was taking off and going to the moon. Austin was the No. 1 guy. The night that I lost it in Cleveland, I have never, ever, been in front of an audience that was more electric than the one in Cleveland. It wasn't me, it was just the situation, but I do think that helped propel the company to the next step. It gave Austin a credible opponent, got the crowd even more behind him, and it was just something that people didn't see coming. Everyone thought at the end of the King of the Ring show that somehow Kane would set himself on fire, and how they would get out of that. Not that Kane beat Austin and oh my God what happens next."

Things aren't going so well for WWE's plan to license gambling on their matches. The Colorado Division of Gaming shot them down, and Michigan issued a statement that seemed ambivalent at best: "Any request for inclusion in Michigan’s Sports Wagering Catalog must be submitted to the MGCB by a Michigan-licensed operator or platform provider, and the agency has not received a formal request regarding WWE events wagering. The WWE should work with the gaming industry if it wishes to bring a proposal before the MGCB." Despite that they filed paperwork with the Indiana Gaming Commission and is now on the list of published sports wagering registrants for the state. (FF)

Coastal Championship Wrestling (CCW) is trying to bring back Championship Wrestling from Florida as a promotion and has brought on Kevin Sullivan to act as Executive Producer and Creative Director, Gangrel (David Heath) for Talent Relations, and Bill Alfonso for Media Relations. (PWI)

Jackson Parsons was 35% successful in his lawsuit against WWE -- meaning that a Florida jury found that WWE was 35% responsible for the injuries he sustained when he was struck by a vehicle driven by WWE employee Gaitan Thomas. That puts WWE on the hook for $331,800 in damages. (PWI)
