More on Brock, more WM press, Interviews with Owens/Hardy/Riley, new WWE deal, TNAI expands, big change to HoF, HHH previews NXT live event, WM31 match moved to pre-show, Stone Cold note, NXT participant for Mania set, and Questions on Kofi in the IC Title picture, Punk at the HoF ceremony, inducting matches, TNA at Mania weekend, and changing AXXESS

Jonathan Coachman talked about Brock Lesnar re-signing with WWE. Coach has some really good insight on the situation.

Here are some highlights from a Kevin Owens interview. I'm curious to see which of those names come to NXT and face him! Joe vs. Owens would be INSANE. The former TNA Champion has some really good matches he could work in WWE.

WWE has a new deal with Toy State. Merchandise is a BIG part of the game in 2015.

TNA announced a new TV deal in Brazil. International markets will be a big deal going forward. Who's to say they can't survive just from airing in a lot of markets?

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Eva Marie is said to be hosting the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Is this a rib, or something E! suggested or what? She shouldn't even be hosting the Slammys. Get one of the many legends in town to host the show.

Jeff Hardy talked about potentially returning to WWE someday and more. I'd like to see him have one last run before he hangs it up. Him feuding or teaming with Finn Balor would be fun given the latter's face paint motif.

Paul Heyman went behind the scenes at WrestleMania week. This dude's amazing.

Roman Reigns did another interview before his big match. His career will be interesting to follow.

Alex Riley talked about his return and future. He should absolutely be a wrestler going forward.

Triple H showed off the arena for NXT's pre-WM31 live event. What he's done with that brand has been unprecedented.

The Andre the Giant battle royal has been moved to the WM31 pre-show. Given how long the show will be, I don't disagree with it moving.

Stone Cold Steve Austin said on his podcast he'll be watching WM31 from his ranch. So don't expect him at the event. He's GOT to be at next year's show in Texas, right?

NXT's Hideo Itami will participate in the Andre the Giant battle royal. That's a surprising pick. I feel like he still has a way to go as a performer before being ready for promotion to the main roster. I'm curious to see what the future holds for him.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. As was said, he's a tag team guy now. I also think he's probably been knocked down from when he was U.S./IC Champion level. We're going on two years since he's held either title.

2. Yeah, I'm leaning toward that not happening as well. It's probably for the best.

3. They should. Hopefully one day they will.

4. Yeah, I also don't think there's enough buzz for them to compete with some of the other shows in the area. I wouldn't think they'd get a good attendance figure. It could still be several months before they have non-televised live events, and I definitely wouldn't see them taping TV there.

5. That's a pretty cool idea, actually. It's worth looking into.

More wrestling tomorrow.
