• Per PW Insider, Liv Morgan was originally set to be cleared in early 2026 but she worked hard enough to return at Survivor Series.
• They also note WWE played music for stars like Edge, Stone Cold Steve Austin and more during Survivor Series setup at Petco Park just to mess with someone streaming it live nearby to see what would leak out.

• Bryan Alvarez noted on X that there is already talk of running a stadium for next year’s Survivor Series event.
• On Wrestling Observer Live, Alvarez said one of Santos Escobar’s requests for his new deal with WWE was to sit down with Triple H to figure out his creative, so the belief is he will be back with a push. It’s just not clear when that return will be.
• According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW is trying to avoid putting Kenny Omega in long singles matches and that’s why he may end up being put back with The Young Bucks.
