Monday’s Raw now has a championship match to go with its marquee appearances, while New Japan’s junior tag tournament has its finalists. Those are the fresh developments leading tonight’s Late Bell. This edition then looks forward to a crowded week that includes NXT and AEW going head-to-head Wednesday, TNA’s Thursday card, a taped SmackDown and Saturday’s Crown Jewel.
For Utica-area viewers, the first detail to circle is the clock: Raw begins Monday, November 2, at 6 p.m. EST on Netflix. That is two hours earlier than Raw’s usual Eastern start.
Confirmed: Raw adds Gable vs. Page and a six-man tag
Raw general manager Adam Pearce’s Sunday preview added Intercontinental champion Chad Gable against Ethan Page and Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee against The Vision. Pearce did not identify which three members of The Vision will wrestle. That means the six-man match is confirmed, but the opposing trio is not. We will not fill in those names before WWE does.
John Cena is advertised to make a “very special announcement,” World Heavyweight champion Roman Reigns will address Undisputed WWE champion Sami Zayn, and Royce Keys will face Solo Sikoa. Netflix’s official preview confirms the Barclays Center setting, the 6 p.m. EST start and the announced Cena and Reigns appearances. F4W’s November 1 report has the two Sunday match additions.
What is not confirmed: WWE has not disclosed Cena’s announcement. An appearance and an announcement should not be turned into a promised comeback match. WWE also has not named The Vision’s three wrestlers for the six-man tag.
Late Bell perspective: The title defense gives Monday a competitive stake beyond the star appearances. The useful questions are simple: Can Gable retain, what will Cena announce, and who will represent The Vision? Those are reasons to watch, not predictions of the answers.
NJPW: Eagles and Fujita earn the other final berth
Robbie Eagles and Kosei Fujita defeated YOH and Hyo on Sunday in Okayama, Japan, finishing Super Junior Tag League’s B Block with four wins, one loss and eight points. POST Wrestling reported that they advanced ahead of Blake Christian and Lee Johnson on the head-to-head tiebreaker.
The tournament final is now Eagles and Fujita against Taiji Ishimori and Robbie X at Power Struggle on Tuesday, November 3. NJPW’s official card lists the final and several major matches, including Yota Tsuji against Boltin Oleg and Kenny Omega in a three-way match, plus Taichi challenging Gabe Kidd for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship.
The bell time is 2 a.m. EST Tuesday on NJPW World, according to the service’s November streaming schedule. Sunday settled who advances. It did not decide the tournament champion.
Tonight: CMLL’s Día de Muertos weekend closes in Arena México
CMLL lists Tzompantli de Máscaras as its Sunday family show at Arena México at 5 p.m. Mexico City time, which is 6 p.m. EST. The promotion warns that programming can change at the last minute. Its official event page confirms the time and links to CMLL’s live-transmission channels, but it did not expose a complete match card in the accessible listing reviewed for this edition.
That makes the event confirmed, but a full bout list is not verified here. Readers should check CMLL’s official page or YouTube channel before purchasing access or planning a live watch.
Wednesday: NXT and AEW run head-to-head at 8 p.m.
NXT moves from Tuesday to Wednesday, November 4, at 8 p.m. EST on The CW because of election coverage. The top match is Grayson Waller defending the NXT Championship against CM Punk. WWE’s own Halloween Havoc video carries Punk’s challenge, while F4W’s updated listing adds the full announced lineup:
- NXT Championship: Grayson Waller vs. CM Punk
- Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic final: Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno vs. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, with Cody Rhodes presenting the trophy
- Unsanctioned match: Dion Lennox vs. Cruz Montana, with Michael Chandler as special guest referee
- NXT Women’s Championship open challenge: Kelani Jordan vs. an opponent not yet named
- Chad Gable, Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix vs. The Vanity Project
- John Cena appears
At the same time, AEW Dynamite: Blood & Guts airs at 8 p.m. EST on TBS and HBO Max from Jacksonville. AEW’s official October 31 report lists both completed teams.
The men’s match has Will Ospreay, The Young Bucks, Adam Copeland, Darby Allin and Steven Borden facing Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, Kevin Knight, Wardlow, Mark Davis and Jake Doyle. The women’s match has Triangle of Madness, Divine Dominion and CMLL Women’s champion Persephone facing The Brawling Birds, Willow Nightingale, Wrathlander and TBS champion Queen Aminata.
The arena listing gives a 7:30 p.m. time, but AEW’s broadcast notice gives 8 p.m. EST. For television viewers, use the 8 p.m. broadcast start. AEW had not posted a separate confirmed November 7 Collision card in the accessible official listings by this edition’s deadline.
ROH tapes Tuesday; TNA loads Thursday’s card
Ring of Honor returns to WJCT Studios in Jacksonville on Tuesday, November 3. The official ROH event page lists doors at 4:30 p.m. EST and wrestling at about 5 p.m. This is an HonorClub taping, not a promised live broadcast, and ROH did not publish a complete accessible match card with the event listing.
TNA Impact airs Thursday, November 5, at 9 p.m. EST on AMC, AMC+ and TNA+. Sportsnet 360 carries it at 8 p.m. EST in Canada. The announced lineup includes:
- Frankie Kazarian and Avery Styles make their tag-team debut against opponents not yet named
- Eddie Edwards vs. Bear Bronson, with control of The System at stake
- TNA World Tag Team champions Nic and Ryan Nemeth vs. TNA World champion Leon Slater and X-Division champion Amazing Red
- Fire ’N Flava vs. Shotzi Blackheart and Allie
- Harley Hudson’s initiation into The Righteous
The Kazarian and Styles addition came from TNA’s official account. Their opponents were not named in the announcement, so no names are added here.
SmackDown is taped Monday; Crown Jewel follows Saturday
WWE will tape Friday’s SmackDown after Raw at Barclays Center. The venue bills the night as a Raw and SmackDown double event. SmackDown still airs in its normal television window on Friday, November 6, at 8 p.m. EST on USA Network.
WWE’s October 30 highlights set up CM Punk against Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred match. That is the only specific November 6 match this edition could verify from WWE’s accessible material. A taped episode can produce spoilers before Friday, so readers who want to watch fresh should be careful on social media after Monday night.
Crown Jewel streams Saturday, November 7, at noon EST on the ESPN app with an ESPN Unlimited plan in the United States and on Netflix internationally. WWE’s official previews list Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn, Liv Morgan vs. Chelsea Green, Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match, and Bron Breakker and Austin Theory defending the World Tag Team Championship against Penta and Je’Von Evans.
AAA calendar note and what remains unannounced
AAA’s Halloween results are covered in today’s Morning Bell, so this edition does not repeat them. The next publicly listed AAA event found in the current search is Final Show 2026 at Showcenter Complex in Monterrey on Sunday, November 8, headlined in promotional material by Psycho Clown and a Psycho Circus vs. Los Vipers attraction. The venue listing does not present a complete verified match-by-match card, so it is treated as an event notice rather than a final lineup.
No new confirmed November 7 Collision card or complete ROH taping card was available in the accessible official listings at deadline. Those are gaps, not invitations to turn online guesses into matches.

Social video note: We checked for official Instagram Reels and TikTok posts that could be used with clear attribution. TikTok access was blocked to the research tool, and no official Instagram Reel passed both the access and rights-confidence checks for a native embed. We therefore did not embed or reupload any social clip. Official WWE video and official X posts are linked above as source material. Platform availability does not guarantee copyright clearance.
