New Day vs. The League of Nations for the WWE Tag Team Championship is official for Wrestlemania. I assume that match will be three-on-three or four-on-four. This would be a great opportunity to use a legend in New Day's corner to counter whichever LoN member won't be in the match itself. Godfather? He'll be at the show.
Drew Galloway flew in for Tuesday's Impact from Germany, arriving with just enough time to be featured on the show. They would have really had to make some changes to things if his travel situation worsened.
TNA will be taping a Knockouts-themed One Night Only show this week, which will likely see some new regulars to the roster working. That division could use some beefing up. I look forward to seeing who's coming in.
WWE referee Rudy Charles needed stitches after running into a crate during the Roman Reigns/Triple H backstage brawl. That was a hell of a fight.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Shane McMahon acknowledged his promo botch from Raw. Funny stuff. Making the occasional mistake humanizes people.
Neville is expected to miss about three months due to his fractured ankle. Hopefully he picks up where he left off.
Edge, Christian, Beth Phoenix, and Candice Michelle are all expected to be part of Wrestlemania weekend for WWE.
Kalisto vs. Ryback for the U.S. Championship is official for Wrestlemania. I was hoping the Dragons would be in tag action. Oh, well. I hope Kalisto is their "next Rey Mysterio" as far as becoming a big lucha star. Sin Cara shouldn't be overlooked for that role, either, and there's the former La Sombra in (and maybe Humberto Garza, Jr.) in NXT.
Sylvester LeFort and Marcus Louis were backstage at a TNA taping this week. Whether they are coming into the company full-time remains to be seen. I think it's worth trying them out as a team.
Total Divas rebounded to 650,000 viewers this week after a steady drop the past two months.
GFW has announced live events from May 13 through May 15. They'll be co-promoting with MCW for shows in Maryland and Virginia, and with AML for a show in North Carolina.
Drew Galloway will be missing Saturday's EVOLVE show due to TNA having a TV taping that night. He will also miss the WWN Supershow due to a booking in Europe. To say he's really in demand right now is an understatement.
NXT Takeover: Dallas will air live on the WWE Network April 1 at 10 p.m. EST. This will feature the in-ring NXT debuts of Shinsuke Nakamura and Austin Aries. So, get ready for plenty of "Better Than Mania," "Better Than Divas," "NXT," and "This Is Awesome" Chants. The show definitely looks really good.
Scott Hall talked about working with Curt Hennig. Hennig sounds like an asshole outside the ring, but he was an amazing worker, for sure.
Jim Ross has been in communication with WWE to appear at Wrestlemania 32. I'd love for him to call Shane vs. Taker.
"Superstar" Billy Graham is not going to be at Wrestlemania 32 weekend due to injury. That's very unfortunate. I am glad he and WWE are back on good terms, though.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.Well, HHH vs. Reigns has been building for a while, so I don't have any issue with the direction they went. As for that premise, I think it would definitely appeal to casual fans and those who live in the reality distortion field of the IWC. They can always do Shane vs. HHH a few months from now as the battle for company ownership continues.

2. I'd be surprised if they brought him in just to job at Mania. That would be a missed opportunity. While he might not want to be a regular performer, I'd like to see the angle continue. I don't know why they'd tease such a big shakeup only to not give it a shot. Doing a new brand extension and calling up more NXT names sounds like a good way to try new things. They've got a lot of good talents down there, and I think WWE could make use of some of them sooner rather than later.
3. They got into a spat about each Diva's significant other right after Brie lost at Fastlane. This is leading to Lana wrestling (which she was set to do before her injury). It's something new for her. I'm looking forward to some character progression, honestly.
4. Honestly, at this point, I think I'd be OK with that. Have Reigns win and tell all the haters who won't acknowledge his improvement to BELIEVE THIS: he doesn't need their approval. That said, The Authority still need to be heels for the feud with Shane.
5. There's no well in hell Vince would have made a tournament of people who weigh less than 205 lbs. unless it was the return of the juniors division.
More wrestling tomorrow.
