• PWInsider has reported that Chad Gable is set to undergo surgery next week. Fightful Select is told that the likely scenario is that he's out until late 2025 at minimum.

• WWE talent arrived in Saudi Arabia today.

• We've asked about Keith Lee after his post saying he's been ready to return. We're told that he hasn't been factored into creative up until this point, but we're seeking more clarity.

• LA Knight's injury on last week's Smackdown is a work. He's still factored into creative.

• We heard really positive reactions from behind the scenes in AEW after their recent stretch of big shows. They'd considered this month long stretch of four hour broadcasts, Grand Slam, and next week's 300th episode as one of their most important TV stretches.

• Regarding the online discussion of Karrion Kross not bumping that picked up steam, Fightful spoke to multiple people who produced matches of his and they claimed that has never been an issue they've encountered.

• WrestleVotes Radio noted that Roman Reigns' name has popped up internally recently. When he was written off television, Fightful sources indicated he wouldn't be back until Summerslam season
