NXT Title defended on WWE live event, another former TNA name at Lucha Underground, Kenta appears, Interviews with Flair/R-Truth/Foley/BNB and Questions on Bryan vs. Lesnar at WM31, spotlighting women's wrestling on the Network, Cena's comeback, HLA, and Savage in the Hall

Adrian Neville beat Tyler Breeze for the NXT Championship at Friday's WWE live event. I'm glad they're getting experience working the main roster. They've both got great potential.

Add the former Judas Mesias to those working Lucha Underground. The former Jesus and Ivelisse Velez are still in the "dark match" category until/unless they come to terms for contracts. Konnan will be in a non-wrestling role.

Here's footage of Kenta in the ring at an NXT live event. I'm ready to see him kick some fools.

Ric Flair talked about Andre the Giant's legendary drinking prowess. Picture how small a can of beer would be to Andre.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

R-Truth talked before a live event. I miss Little Jimmy and that side of Truth's character. We could have had Jimmy and Truth as tag team champs!

Mick Foley talked before his recent surgery. I really wish I would have seen him when he was doing comedy in town.

Bad News Barrett talked about his injury status and more. I can definitely see him taking either the U.S. or IC Title when he returns. Rusev could easily get the other one.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think it's a possibility. Come to think of it, it would be a good change of pace if The Authority tried to pull an "Evolution turns on Randy Orton" on Brock with HHH wanting the title for himself or something. Brock wrecks The Authority for a bit and they turn to Bryan to dethrone the Beast. I just don't know how effectively they'd be able to have The Authority as the faces and Brock as the heel in that angle.

2. Sure, if there's enough of an audience for it.

3. I;m guessing Vince's logic is Cena needed to get his heat back after being destroyed by Brock. Cena needs to look like something of a threat for Night of Champions if his fans are to have hope in him succeeding. After all the complaints about WWE being too predictable, now it's a bad thing to make the outcome more up-in-the-air?

4. Technically HLA was the Ruthless Aggression Era, being introduced by Bischoff as Raw GM. But, no, we're not going to see anything at that level as long as WWE wants to keep being kid-friendly!

5. It's WWE's Hall of Fame, so they can do pretty much anything they want. I do think there'd be backlash if they did it without the family's blessing, though. As for who's going into the Hall in 2015, Sting's got to be the frontrunner to be inducted.

More wrestling tomorrow.
