HEY TRC... THERE'S A WWE PPV THIS WEEK!! FRIENDLY REMINDER!!

Condolences go out to the family of masked luchador Principe Aereo, a 26 year old wrestler who mostly worked on the Mexican independent circuit, though he did have some time in AAA and was seen as a rising star. He's reported to have suffered a heart attack after taking a pair of chops during a tag team match on Saturday night. WWE/NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar & NXT Champion Finn Balor were among those tweeting condolences after receiving word of the incident.

Are the combatants in the planned main event match for Wrestlemania 37 even wrestling in WWE right now? Apparently not if the rumor of a Becky Lynch/Ronda Rousey match filling the final slot are true.

Yes it looks like Bill Goldberg will be back to wrestle at the start of next year... yes it seems likely to be in a main event slot... yes likely either challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship or have a Wrestlemania rematch against Braun Strowman sometime between Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania.

**NJPW SPOILERS BELOW... SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH TO NOT BE SPOILED IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE.** Congrats to WWE Cruiserweight Classic finalist Kota Ibushi for again winning the G1 Tournament (2nd in a row for the Golden Star). This may finally be the time for Kota to win his 1st ever IWGP World Heavyweight Championship when he challenges for the title at Wrestle Kingdom in January.

With New Japan Pro Wrestling President Harold Meij stepping down at the end of this month... there's renewed optimism that a partnership between NJPW & AEW can be reached soon since some AEW people found Meij hard to work with... though an AEW partnership may be seen as going against NJPW's plans to expand further in the US.

AEW's TV deals in the UK are doing major work as AEW's ratings in Jolly Old England et al are not only beating Raw & Smackdown... but nearly doubling the WWE's shows viewerships. It must be noted that AEW comes on a widely available channel there while WWE shows are on premium channels

205 Live still exists... yes I'm shocked too... and starting this week is now fully under NXT's creative control thus beginning a new era of cruiserweight action... and it's main booker is Mick Foley's son
