Kliq special upcoming, update on top ROH name, live event notes, awards for WWE, match set for Raw, another name gone from TNA, and Questions on Punk's firing, EC3, bringing Cole back, and Rusev

WWE Network will have a special Kliq reunion show at some point in the next few months. They'll discuss the Curtain Call and more. I don't know how much is really left to be said about that at this point, but maybe it will get people talking.

In regard to a recent online rumor, Adam Cole remains locked into contract with Ring of Honor for the foreseeable future. He's currently rehabbing from arm surgery. I know there are people who want him to go to NXT, but it's not something in the works at present.

Finn Balor defeated Adam Rose at a recent WWE live event, while Tamina was on the losing end of another six-Diva tag. I would expect Zayn and Charlotte to make it to the main roster before Balor, but we'll see.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

WWE and WWE Network won some social media awards. That's a big area for them in 2015.

Set for Raw is The Miz vs. Damien Mizdow for the rights to Miz's moves, music, etc.. That should be fun. What does Miz do if he can't be himself anymore?

The Great Sanada is no longer listed on the TNA website, signifying an end to his time with the company. Honestly, I don't think that will have that big of an effect of things. His run was probably always set to be short so he could return to W1. It's worth noting he was part of the main event of TNA's biggest PPV last year. Of the 23 wrestlers who competed at BFG, only 13 were TNA employees then. Only eight are still employees now, as Samoa Joe, Team 3D, Velvet Sky, and Sanada have all left in the past six months. Note I counted Tommy Dreamer even though he's usually just a producer.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think it's reasonable to believe it was planned to get there on his wedding day. This feels like one of those "Obama wasn't born in America" theories at this point.

2. I've been a fan of his since the NXT days. They're right in that he had bad timing with injuries and seems to have really stepped up his game in TNA, but I think he was doing great stuff on the WWE.com-exclusive seasons of NXT. Not "push this guy to the moon" level stuff, but enough to show he could be an entertaining part of the roster.

3. Someone doesn't know what "no-sell" means. No-selling would be him going right back to commentary after being F5'd and carrying on like nothing happened. Was it sold ENOUGH? Maybe not. But as usual, things aren't as dire as they're being portrayed.

4. Sure, if they don't think Koloff would get a pop for it.  They definitely need to sell how much of an ass-kicking you can get from a steel chain.

Nothing to add to 5.

6. I hope New Jack's not the one tracking him down... 

More wrestling tomorrow.
