Former WWE star Braun Strowman has fuelled speculation that he could be involved in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming God of War series. Strowman posted images on social media showing himself dressed as Kratos, followed by a photo of an Amazon visitor pass, hinting at possible discussions with the production. The speculation comes after reports that the series is searching for a replacement for Ryan Hurst, who was cast as Kratos but suffered a torn biceps injury after four of the show’s 10 episodes had already been completed.

Last Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown averaged 1.243 million viewers on USA Network, according to Wrestlenomics, a slight increase from the previous week’s 1.212 million and the show’s largest audience in almost two months. Despite the rise in viewership, the broadcast posted a 0.21 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down 12.5% week-on-week and its lowest mark in five weeks. The go-home show for Saturday Night’s Main Event topped the primetime cable ratings in the key demographic and finished second across all television behind ABC’s 20/20.

Last Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision averaged 399,000 viewers on TNT, according to Wrestlenomics, down 2.4% from the previous week but still the show’s second-highest audience in the past seven weeks. The broadcast also recorded a 0.06 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up 20% week-on-week and its best performance in the key demo in six weeks. Despite competition from WNBA, MLB and UFC programming, Collision ranked tied for 27th on the primetime cable charts in the 18-49 demographic and 26th overall in total viewers.

The results for last night’s episode of WWE NXT are in.

The lineup for tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite has been confirmed.
