TNA preparing for Pop, Cesaro update, WWE alters medical policy, and Questions on Slammy Awards voting, the 2016 HoF class, Dreamer's WWE status, and Tito Santana

TNA will be showing review episodes of the World Title Series online ahead of their Pop debut.

New talents are expected to debut for TNA at their next TV tapings. Michael Bennett and Maria could easily be among them after their ROH departures. TNA could definitely use some new performers to add to their roster. Hopefully they'll continue working with GFW to help with that.

Cesaro is set to undergo additional rehab and tests in January. He has been rehabbing at the WWEPC lately. He's expected to miss another three to five months, so WM32 is likely out of the picture. I hope he comes back strong. Maybe he'll get to work with Sami Zayn on the main roster when he returns?

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Beginning in February, WWE will be randomly checking in with insurance providers to make sure talents' medical insurance is up-to-date. All signed talents are required to have medical insurance; if they don't keep their insurance up-to-date, the company could refuse to book them. Talents have 60 days to get their situation in compliance with the policy. I think this is a great move to keep talents' health at the forefront.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. WWE voting has been legitimate since AT LEAST the initial Taboo Tuesday PPV. I know some people refuse to believe it, but there is absolutely no evidence they've faked the numbers.

2. I don't have any qualms with any of those names going in! I second the Freebirds and Lauper in particular. Now's also a great time to put Sting in since the HoF is in Tecas.

3. No word on this one way or another.

4. I'm under the impression this is just a temporary run (possibly through the end of January), and he'll continue to work backstage in TNA as well as all of his duties at HoH. We'll find out more when the first TNA tapings of 2016 happen. He'll either be there or he won't.

Nothing to add to 5. I'm really glad he's got a successful post-wrestling career. I hope more former bump-takers find the same.

More wrestling coming up.
