– Jack Swagger is not a happy man. Since leaving the WWE the former World Heavyweight Champion has been working the indie scene, but is fed up with WWE running shows at the same time as other indie promotions in the area. He posted a video on social media calling out WWE for their actions and asking ‘real wrestling fans’ to stand up for independent wrestling:
“I am not here to talk sh*t but I’m sorry I am taking this personally. To me this is a slap in the face. Typical WWE saying they are a bigger company and they can come into your market and push you around and run a show whenever they like. You want to compete? Fine.
“Real wrestling fans, indie fans, it is time to stand up for independent wrestling. On November 28th come to The Wrestling Revolver and help us outdraw the NXT show. Help Revolver and all the other promotions in the same situation. Stand up for the indies!”

– News 1330 in Abbotsford, British Columbia has an interview up with WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin in which they discuss Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Corbin’s wife’s family all live on the islands (except for her parents), and “The Lone Wolf” explained how the devastation has impacted their family:
“It took us almost three weeks to get in touch with her grandfather,” Corbin said. “He lives up in the woods so there was no cell service, no power. Her aunt couldn’t drive up there because the roads were all blocked.
“That’s the hard part of this job… sometimes you’re away from home when there’s real things are going on. It’s just a very difficult situation. We flew her grandmothers in on Wednesday — so that was a relief to have them here with us and hopefully we’re getting the rest of her family out of there this week.”
