Superstars Reax - 12/12/15, ROH-PWG working agreement set, more on recent NXT live event, Trump-HoF update, Interview with Rey, Rollins on NXT's growth, Takeover at WM32 weekend, more on wrestling in India, Bryan working on return, Rey joins LU, and Questions on JJ/Gable on the main roster, Y2J returning, and early ROH

Superstars:
Jesus, how many times have we gotten this match now? I guess it's better than another Rosebush segment.

- Rose vs. Fandango:
Fandango's a pretty solid worker, I think.

Fine match for filling time.

Hey, Darren Young does still get bookings!

- D. Young vs. Dallas:
I think Dallas is kind of overdoing the celebration here. It's wearing a little thin at this point.

OK, Darren doing his own lap was pretty funny.

Darren showing some fun personality here. I like it.

Bo's not a bad wrestler. He's not great, but he's not bad, either.

This is going pretty well.

Good enough ending.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

ROH has worked out a deal for their contracted talents to work for PWG as long as the events there don't conflict with ROH commitments. That's big news for PWG fans, since there's some significant overlap between their fanbase and ROH's.

Here's a live report from a recent NXT live event in the UK. It's kind of crazy WWE has tapped into an audience that so actively dislikes their main roster stuff.

There is a movement online to remove Donald Trump from the WWE Hall of Fame after his recent political comments. Trump's comments seem to have aided his popularity, so I don't know if WWE will pull support from him.

Rey Mysterio discussed the unfortunate passing of El Hijo del Perro Aguayo. That footage is absolutely chilling.

Seth Rollins put over NXT for their UK tour. NXT's growth has been one of the most refreshing parts of following wrestling in the last few years.

NXT will have a Takeover special in Dallas the weekend of WrestleMania 32. He has a reason to have a smug grin given how successful his brand has been.

Two fans tried to jump into the ring at an NXT live event in the UK. Thankfully, neither were successful.

The former Ricardo Rodriguez is training wrestlers at Great Khali's school in India, and they just put on their first event. I imagine we'll see more Indian stars in U.S. promotions in the years to come as wrestling gets more popular there.

Daniel Bryan is undergoing further tests on the road to being cleared to return to WWE. Apparently they're going well. So, maybe, MAYBE he'll be able to return in time for WM32. It's not over yet!

Rey Mysterio has officially joined Lucha Underground. He'll be part of Season 2. That's really big for them! I hope he can still contribute despite his history of injuries.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. That could be really good. I'd like to see Gable and Jordan get more experience before moving up, but they've definitely got the opportunity to do something like that. I suspect we won't see the NXT duo just yet, but "Team Swagger" with Zeb is an intriguing idea.

2. Not much to add here. He previously hinted he'll back to feud with Ambrose and/or Reigns during WM32 season, so we'll see if that comes to pass in the months to come.

Nothing to add to 3.

4. Given the booking philosophy of using legends to enhance the stars of tomorrow, I can buy that.

5. It is interesting to have a promotion with no "wrestling" in the initials.

More wrestling tomorrow.
