– Drew Gulak gave his WWE Network Pick of the Week. You can see the video of Gulak below picking 205 Live, which featured his latest PowerPoint presentation. Gulak will give a Championship PowerPoint presentation on the WWE TLC Kickoff Show this weekend.

– Natalya discussed the new Total Divas cast members in a new column for the Calgary Sun. You can see it here. Natalya talks about new cast members Carmella, Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss ahead of the November 1st return of the show. An exceprt is below:

Alexa Bliss is your feisty and adorable Raw Women’s Champion, and when we were on SmackDown together, she, Carmella and I would refer to each other as “Three disgruntled blondes.” In other words, we were bad girls having a whole lot of fun! Alexa is very open about her troubles with body image and balancing home life and work. She and Nia Jax hilariously remind me of Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie “Twins.” Just watch and you will see.

Nia Jax is bold, bright and beautiful. She is not your “average girl,” as she wears her heart on her sleeve and says what she feels. Nia is a force in the ring, but she also shows a much softer side outside the squared circle, especially when she searches for love in NYC. You need to be one strong man to handle Nia, and that’s a good thing.

Carmella is like Jennifer Aniston as Rachel on “Friends.” I adore this girl. She is there for you when you need her, but she finds herself in quirky situations quite often. One of the coolest aspects of this upcoming season is getting to witness the women of SmackDown Live make history in the ring competing in the first ever Money in the Bank ladder match. Carmella wins the briefcase and becomes “Miss Money in the Bank.” However, in winning this accolade, she nearly costs me my dreams of becoming the WWE Women’s Champion.
