GFW live event results, Interviews with Balor/Paige, more Cena press, WWE celeb hurt, and Questions on WWE in India, Luger going to WCW, Blue Pants, and WWE-MSG

Here are results from this weekend's GFW live event, including some TV spoilers. GFW working with TNA and OMEGA, as well as setting up something for WrestleCade, is smart. They're not going to change the wrestling world overnight.

Finn Balor talked about potentially working with Paul Heyman and more. I think he'd do well on the main roster, but should stay in NXT right now as they absorb the loss of other top names.

Stephen Amell hurt himself while weight-training recently, but is expected to still compete at Summerslam. He will be working as Amell instead of Arrow, but we could still see some theatrics.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Paige talked about the change in the Divas division and more:
- I think Triple H might get just a little too much credit. Some of it definitely needs to go to the talents in NXT themselves, the people he has helping out in discovering talent, and even people like Vince McMahon who are letting him do more of his own thing instead of trying to just make NXT a replacement of OVW or FCW.

- The Tough Enough winners are definitely going to have to show they belong once they actually start working with the NXT crew.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. When any of this is official, they'll put out press releases. They definitely want to expand more into China and India.

2. It's weird they let that pass without fact-checking it. Memory can be faulty sometimes.

3. I think it's hilarious they're making a shirt that says Blue Pants. I love how that got over so well, and think she's a nice enhancement to the division. Hopefully we'll see some more wrestlers get semi-regular roles like she has to elevate the NXT regulars.

4. Running MSG is pretty expensive. It's not as big of a favorite for WWE as it was in the past, at least for TV and PPVs.

More wrestling tomorrow.
