When it comes to growing sports, wrestling should be right at the top of the list. One of the ways they continue to grow is being on television almost every night of the week. Now that the winter sports are in full swing, there are multiple options during the week. WWE has Raw on Monday, NXT on Wednesday and Smackdown on Friday. AEW has shows on Wednesday, Friday & Saturday. TNA Impact wrestling can be seen live on Thursdays and each promotion has premium live events. It was also announced that WWE is starting a new development program for independent wrestlers.

How is everyone feeling about the bloodline angle? We are certainly getting a buildup for Crown Jewel and I'm sure we will see the Rock involved in some capacity. A Survivor Series showdown between the family would be must watch television. Cody vs Gunther is also another intriguing matchup and i'm sure we get a Goldberg interruption this Saturday. I'm also looking forward to Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens.

So long to Samantha Irving who was one of the reasons to watch WWE programming. She was not only good at her job but a great follow on social media.
