It's La, as in the French word, they just keep capitalizing the A because otherwise Vince will confuse him with La Résistance

One of my favourite Tetsuya Naito moments was him taking one look at Goto's LA DOJO shirt and proceeding to call him "Señor La Dojo" for the entireity of the feud

Not sure how accurate (NXT/PC also has coaches who aren't listed as producers):


AEW has 9 listed coaches.

She gave a statement today saying her Japan plans are done around the time the report said she's coming back. I don't get it either, given her reasoning for leaving in the first place was the constant travel left her with so little free time she had no idea what to do when COVID stopped the traveling, but it's happening

STAMFORD, Conn., August 7, 2023 – WWE® (NYSE: WWE) today announced that SummerSlam which emanated from Ford Field in Detroit became the most-watched and highest-grossing SummerSlam in company history. The premium live event set new records for viewership, gate, sponsorship and merchandise.

With 59,194 in attendance in the Motor City, SummerSlam generated a record gate of $8.5 million, the largest gate for any non-WrestleMania event ever. It was the most-watched SummerSlam in company history and among the top three audiences in the history of WWE on Peacock.

SummerSlam generated the most sponsorship revenue for any non-WrestleMania event ever with $7 million, up 23 percent versus 2022. Slim Jim®, C4 and Rocket Mortgage were among WWE’s sponsors for the premium live event.

In partnership with special event retail partner Fanatics, merchandise sales were up 60 percent versus the record set in 2021, marking the best performance in company history for any premium live event outside of WrestleMania. On Location packages set a new SummerSlam record, up 47 percent versus 2022.

In addition, SummerSlam became the most-viewed social SummerSlam of all time with over 230 million views and four million hours of video consumed, a 26 percent increase over last year.

Sonya DeVille's run as one half of the WWE's Women's Tag Team Champions has just been put on hold ... TMZ Sports has learned she's suffered a serious knee injury that will require surgery.

Our sources say DeVille tore her ACL during her tag team championship match against Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair on July 28 in New Orleans on SmackDown ... and will undergo a procedure on Tuesday to fix the issue.

We're told there's currently no timetable for her return to the ring.

DOH!!!

You don’t have to watch WWE to be part of the collective ‘We’ that’s happy he’s locked up in a producer role. He no longer has the risk of even accidentally making us watch him wrestle because he’s in the fed now, so there’s no danger of him turning up on a show ‘We’ might watch.

I personally am thrilled that the wider wrestling world is safe from the most boring loving wrestler on the planet once again, I was worried when he escaped the NWA containment zone.
