John MorrisonThere were a slew of new WWE releases on Thursday night. John Morrison, Hit Row (Ashante Thee Adonis, Isaiah Scott and Top Dolla), Drake Maverick, Tegan Nox, Jaxson Ryker and Shane Thorne were all let go by the company. (FF) For his part Maverick wasted no time spoofing his video from his last release, took off his WWE attire, and then smiled as his phone started buzzing. Well played sir.

In this interview Miro talks about his persona in AEW: "I am God's forsaken champion because I lost. God's Favorite Champion is dead. I have a free range to be myself. I love God when he's on my side. I hate God when he's not on my side. These are daily conversations. It's not just me, I feel like it's a lot of people at home. Now, I just have to bring it to the mainstream so I can show what I'm going through every day. This is me. It's not fake, not phony wrestling bullshit or imaginary character. This is me, I'm playing who I always have been."

Here Jim Johnston says "Break It Down" was originally written for Shawn Michaels and not D-Generation X: "A lot of time it gets a little confused because I did write a theme for Shawn Michaels and that was D-Generation X('s that) I originally wrote for Shawn Michaels. By the time it was out there, he had hooked up with Hunter and it had become a group entity very quickly."

New WWE related videos are available below.

In addition new All Elite Wrestling related videos are below.

UWN will not strip Chris Dickinson of his championship even though he could be out for half a year or more due to his recent injury at NJPW Battle of the Valley. They plan to leave the title on him while he's recovering and still feature him on their programming when he's able to appear. (PWI)

In this interview Bull Nakano reveals she was hospitalized due to alcohol abuse: "Until now, I couldn't imagine a life without drinking alcohol. However, I hadn't taken it for about two months since I was hospitalized, so I didn't want to take it even after I was discharged. By quitting alcohol, my body becomes healthier and I can live a regular life. You can use your time meaningfully from morning till night, and anyway, there are more good things. I thought, 'If I keep going like this, I'll be addicted.' I didn't have a day when I didn't drink alcohol, and I didn't feel like quitting, so I think I would still be drinking if I didn't have cirrhosis. I quit because my health got worse, but I love alcohol itself. If you were alcoholic, you might not have known it yourself."

Here Montez Ford says the Street Profits don't talk about breaking up: "The crazy thing is, me and Dawks don't really speak about it. At the current time, we are a tag team and that's our goal right now, be the greatest tag team of all time and win the tag team championships, but, ever since I was a little kid, that big title is what I wanted. That's a huge mindset and goal for everyone. That's the goal you should have here. You want to be the man. It's something we don't really speak about, but we kind of know the motivation where if a draft happens and he gets separated and one of us gets that chance to hold up the title, obviously that's where the support comes in because you want to see everybody win. Nobody wins when the family feuds."

Coincidentally Bianca Belair says it would be awkward to do a storyline with her husband Montez Ford on TV: "That's the only thing I would be worried about. I enjoy doing my own thing and I think he shines as well. He's in a tag team and maybe in the future he'll shine on his own, we'll see. It would be fun to get in the ring together and do something together, but my marriage, I don't want to play around with that. It's a bit of a blurry line for me because I see my marriage as something that is sacred and I don't want to play around with it in any way that is negative. If we're on TV and broadcasting our love, I want it to be in a positive light."

Beth Phoenix is more or less saying the heat between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair is a work: "The whole point of this is to get people talking. They're talking for the first time about two female superstars going at it. That is the topic of conversation dominating all media outlets. That's what we wanted. Conflict is great, controversy creates cash. I guarantee you, both of these women know that more than anybody."

Here Jeff Hardy says he's talked to Edge about having one more match together: "Actually, last month I spoke to Edge and I think he said something, 'I think we got to do it one more time.' 'Totally.' Even in the rumble last year, I didn't last any time. I was in and out and he won the Rumble. I had said beforehand that it would be cool if me and Edge had this face-off, just for a moment because of our history."

Catanzaro and Carter to throw down with Feroz and Leon on 205 Live

A can't-miss edition of 205 Live is set to feature Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter battling Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon, Malik Blade taking on Edris Enofe, and Tiffany Stratton competing in her first match against Amari Miller.

Catanzaro and Carter have already established themselves as one of the premiere tandems on NXT 2.0 and even came close to winning the NXT Women's Tag Team Titles from then-champions Io Shirai and Zoey Stark in August.

Nevertheless, they'll receive a stiff test on their inaugural trip to 205 Live, as Feroz has started 4-2 on the brand, and Leon impressed in her first WWE match on the Oct. 19 edition of 205 Live.

Additionally, the high-flying Blade seeks his first victory when he collides with the debuting Enofe. Blade has been within reach of a win in matches against Superstars like Andre Chase and Joe Gacy, but can he finally break through? And while Enofe will be competing in WWE for the first time, he's clearly not lacking in confidence, as he has made pre-match claims of being "far from a rookie" and seems ready for all comers.

And speaking of debuting Superstars, Stratton is primed for a battle with Miller, who has claimed several impressive wins on the new-look 205 Live, most recently pairing up with Feroz for a hard-earned tag team victory. Though she has yet to have a match, Stratton is already calling herself "Daddy's Little Rich Girl" and is reportedly planning on addressing the WWE Universe right before her bout with Miller.

Don't miss an amazing edition of 205 Live, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!

Pro Wrestling Tees is closing their brick and mortar store in Chicago.

Much like WWE Raw this week, the ratings for AEW Dynamite are inexplicably delayed.

Here's a video for the latest New Japan on Roku.

In this interview Ric Flair claims Hulk Hogan is in bad shape: "He's having some really bad health issues but he keeps up with me. We support each other, good and bad. When I was in the hospital he flew up that day like everybody else that came up to see me... Hulk was gracious, Jimmy Hart was great. I don't remember seeing them because I was in a coma but they made the effort to go. Those are the kind of things that mean a lot."

Here are some new videos from Impact Wrestling.

The company is also taping TV this weekend at Sam's Town in Las Vegas. (IW)

Brooke Havok will need surgery for a torn ACL and meniscus. Our best to her on a full and healthy recovery.

Eddie Edwards says the sky is the limit for Speedball Mike Bailey in Impact: "I think there's no limit for Mike Bailey at this point. He's gonna come in, he's gonna try, you know, you wanna make a name for yourself. You wanna go out there, you wanna set the world on fire. That's what Impact Wrestling has been about - it's been about giving people opportunities who may not have had them in the past. Mike is one of those guys where he hasn't been given that full shot, he's been tearing it up on the indies for so long, in Japan and the UK, and I've followed along, I've seen bits and pieces, and I'm excited to see what he's gonna do in Impact Wrestling."
