NXT Diva's job saved, Athena addresses NXT rumors, another NXT tryout, Lana update, Interview with Bryan, big Taker note, NXT pay note, big anniversary for important WWE employee, 2016 HoFers set?, Angle's in-ring return confirmed, Takeover main event confirmed, Kana-NXT update, and Questions on Rollins's titles, Taker's WM32 opponent, and the Divas revolution

A recent NXT signing will not be losing her job over racist tweets made in 2011, due to them not being posted by her. Thank goodness. Enough careers have been ruined by such foolishness.

Indie wrestler Athena discussed potentially going to WWE/NXT. That would really make some fans happy.

An Australian rugby player will be trying out for WWE soon. I'm really impressed by all the work HHH has done on that end of things.

Lana has successfully undergone surgery for her fractured wrist.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Daniel Bryan updated his future as a wrestler and more:
-  If Nikki can push for a long title reign, why can't she push for her brother-in-law to get checked?

- I still don't see a reason to turn Cena heel. If his merch sales drop, they can put it on the table. But definitely not while he's still a hot ticket.

- Angle vs. Bryan in both men's primes would have been absolutely amazing. I see very little chance of it happening in 2016, though, given both men's health.

- Bryan vs. Lesnar could go down in history if they ever get it to happen.

WWE is working on a commemorative magazine chronicling Undertaker's career. That will definitely get the retirement rumors going again. There's no guarantee he's hanging up the boots next year, although obviously that's what people are speculating due to WM being in Texas.

NXT talents have been informed they won't get additional revenue from live event gates, as the brand/branch of the company runs at a loss. Talents do get their travel expenses paid for, and money from action figures and other merchandise. I hope this is just a growing pain, as NXT is really drawing impressive houses.

Michael Hayes celebrated his 20th anniversary with WWE. There's a lot of talk of the Fabulous Freebirds being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016. DO IT.

Kurt Angle will return to the ring for TNA for Bound For Glory weekend. Angle vs. EY would be great then.

Triple H confirmed the main event for the next Takeover special: Bayley vs. Sasha Banks in a 30-minute Ironwoman match for the NXT Women's Championship. That should really be worth watching.

Japanese wrestler Kana will be known as Asuka in NXT, possibly in tribute to 1980s Japanese star Lioness Asuka. I'm excited for her.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think it would make sense if the title is vacated. I'd rather it be defended, though, unless Rollins needs to vacate due to injury.

2. Unless there's a compelling challenger to take it from him before then that sets up something more interesting at WM32, I'd almost definitely keep the title on Rollins. What's not to like?

3. Brock and Taker definitely have unfinished business. I wouldn't really be surprised if Taker tried to gut it out another year and potentially face Sting at WM33.

4. Since the PPV is so close and she's already #1 Contender, Charlotte. They can put Sasha in the mix at HIAC.

5. That's a really tragic way to go.

More wrestling tomorrow.
