Del Rio-AAA update, former promoter back in the mix, WWE live event note, WWE announcer in crash, and Questions on Grantland, Cena's return, Neville teaming with Cesaro, booking WM32, and ending Breeze's NXT run

AAA postponed a show in the wake of Alberto Del Rio's WWE return. It doesn't look like he'll be working there to drop the title, although WWE absolutely should do the professional thing and let them use him for at least one date in order to lose the title.

Jerry Jarrett recently announced he'll return to being a wrestling promoter. Naturally there's speculation of him being part of GFW alongside his son, but he could also be going in a totally different direction. It'll be interesting to see how he can change the game in 2015.

Tyler Breeze worked live events with the main roster this weekend, losing to Dolph Ziggler. I won't be shocked if that happens on TV as well.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

Jerry Lawler was involved in a head-on collision on Halloween night. He was uninjured, so presumably he won't miss any time. It's still unfortunate.

Update: pictures have been released.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I always thought Grantland delivered quality content on wrestling. I'd like to see that work continue.

2. If they have reason to bury (read: punish) Del Rio, they could do worse than having him work three PPVs with Cena. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised for Cena to be champion again in 2016. Cena beating Del Rio for the title at WM32 seems plausible.

3. I think it's just a matter of putting two talented undercard performers who work together well as a unit. WWE probably didn't put a whole lot of thought into it beyond that.

4. Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens after Zayn returns at the Rumble. There's natural history there between two top-notch competitors. And it's a plus for international fans!

5. I think Joe vs. Balor should headline in London. Breeze should have another special attraction match like he did with Liger, against either a main roster star or a UK favorite. He's definitely earned a big moment in NXT.

More wrestling tomorrow.
