» As a part of their international expansion, WWE is looking to sign more Japanese wrestlers. The company has signed New Japan wrestler Naofumi Yamamoto and had talks with Takeshi Morishima a month or so back. WWE is also still looking to sign more talents from Mexico.

» As reported earlier, WWE's developmental promotion Florida finally reached a deal to air their television show. The shows airs on the Brighthouse Sports Network in Tampa on Sundays at 6:00 PM. The show started airing this past Sunday, with the pilot episode they taped back in July featuring appearances from a few big stars including John Cena, Ric Flair and Rocky Johnson. They've got about ten shows in the can, but apparently, they won't be used. They're going to start fresh with tomorrow night's television taping, which will air this Sunday.
