Big Show interview, Jericho update, Questions on the McMahon limo explosion, Kaitlyn vs. AJ, Diva air time, more of "The Wrestler", and Karen Jarrett, Netflix-wrestling updates, note on Smackdown, Sin Cara shirt pulled, and Cena to be in Piper's Pit

Big Show was interviewed ahead of WWE coming to his home state of South Carolina. My neck of the woods (NC) is known for its barbecue and sweet tea as well, so hopefully he tests it out next time he's around those parts.

In what will be the final Chris Jericho update until something more substantial arises in regards to wrestling, he's announced that Fozzy will be touring this coming summer, likely ruling out a WWE return in that timeframe. No more music-related news here.

On to Sunday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I do vaguely remember something about an FBI investigation, but that's all. How on Earth could they have possibly ended that one well? It was a pretty weird moment. Honestly, looking back, it wouldn't have surprised me if he orchestrated it himself in storyline given the odd actions beforehand.

After the break, I go into the rest of the day's news and questions, starting with Kaitlyn walking out on AJ.

2. That certainly seems like what they're going for. AJ's a natural sympathetic figure because of her size and background, so it would make a lot more sense for the bigger Kaitlyn to be heel. I think they could have some good matches with each other given their respective styles, though I'd prefer for them to work as faces for a while longer since they play off of each other so well. For those reading who have only seen their work on Smackdown, I think you'll be surprised at what they can do if given enough time. Both have been impressive on NXT in the past couple of months.

3. It's possible that they had other things they wanted to get over that night and cut the segment short. I wouldn't read all that much into it, since both of them have gotten longer matches and pushes.

4. I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a jab at the movie or just stating that the same director went to a different project, but I haven't heard/seen anything about a sequel or anything similar being talked about.

5. She put a lot of the Knockouts in a Gauntlet match, and a Lingerie match, and so on. She's addressed a lot of them in the ring. How this was misconstrued is beyond me.

Here's an updated list of wrestling-related Netflix updates.

Since Raw is holding shows in Japan on 11/30 and 12/1, don't expect superstars from the brand on the live 11/29 Smackdown. That's kind of a tough spot since they've made Tuesday a big show and we've grown accustomed to big shows having people from both brands.

WWE released a design for a new Sin Cara shirt, but quickly pulled it after many mistook his attire for something... less appropriate. I'm not really sure how to comment on that one.

Finally, Raw will start off with John Cena in Piper's Pit. This deserved a LOT more hype than being revealed the night before. Talk about really dropping the ball.

That's all for Sunday's news. More to come tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
