3) WWE Making A Big Play To Sign Gable Steveson
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Gable Steveson met with Vince McMahon during Summerslam weekend. WWE is said to be making a big play to sign him.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Gable Steveson met with Vince McMahon over the weekend in Las Vegas. He did not meet with Dana White, and UFC has not pursued him at nearly the level WWE has. He told Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour about the meeting he was expected to have with White.
My Take:
- I could see Steveson having a ton of success in either wrestling or MMA. He is going to be a star either way.
2) New WWE Trademark
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE recently filed to trademark ‘House of Monet’. This is related to Franky Monet.

WWE filed a trademark for “House of Monet” on 8/24, obviously for something related to Franky Monet.

My Take:
- Interested to see if this turns into anything of note. We will have to wait and see.
