While their as-yet-unaired TV series declared their first champions, GFW had a title change hands at an indie event when Sonjay Dutt defeated PJ Black. It's possible Black is going to Lucha Underground and won't be able to fulfill any future GFW appearances for the time being, so they did a switch just in case. Still no update on GFW airing in the U.S..
AJ Styles was pulled off a NJPW show due to injury. It's unknown how serious of an injury it was and how much time he'll miss from here. Styles is currently scheduled to challenge Jay Lethal for the ROH Championship at Final Battle, so they're hoping he's able to work that date.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I definitely think we'll see a babyface (likely Reigns) take the title at WrestleMania, if not sooner. Sheamus as champ was just kind of the backup plan due to Rollins' injury.
2. I think there would have been heat on Gunn and on the company if there was any indication of him being shown favoritism considering the potential repercussions if a talent fails the wellness policy. I can sympathize with giving him another chance, but WWE really wanted to show that wasn't acceptable behavior for someone in his position.
3. Jarrett's in a tough position given the amount of responsibilities he directly oversees. He can't be in two places at once, so he had to choose what could potentially mean more for GFW in the future. GFW's still a thing for the time being.
4. I'm guessing AWA doesn't have as big of an audience as the stuff they're uploading beforehand. They're still in the process of digitizing old footage, and there are priorities of what gets put on the Network when.
5. I'm still sad we didn't get the new RoboCop during the HHH vs. Sting feud, especially after we got Terminators for HHH's entrance.
More wrestling tomorrow.
