Enzo updates, Y2J teases end of WWE run, NXT coach at EVOLVE tryout, another NXT tour set, another TNA name re-signs, WWE name off TV due to contract issues, and Questions on more edgy verbiage in WWE, headlining Summerslam, Turner in the HoF, boycotting NC, and more old content on the Network

Enzo Amore was discharged from the hospital shortly after 1 a.m. Monday morning. So, he's at least doing that well.

- Enzo regained consciousness once he made it backstage at Payback. There's no official word on his return following that concussion; I expect WWE's going to err on the side of cautiousness and give him a number of tests before clearing him to get back in the ring.

- Enzo was backstage at Raw. I'm guessing he underwent some testing then to see where he stands.

Before Raw, Chris Jericho teased he was done with WWE following Payback. WWE.com has Jericho advertised for events through at least Summerslam, so I wouldn't assume he's finishing up. As always, he's keeping us guessing regarding what his future holds.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

NXT coach Norman Smiley will be scouting and assisting at EVOLVE's June 10 seminar/tryout. The WWE/WWN relationship continues to blossom.

NXT will tour Indiana, Tennessee, and Georgia between June 2-4. One June 4, they'll be running the former regular home of WCW Saturday Night. They're starting to get pretty regular bookings. That's good news for the talents who'll get more experience in front of live crowds.

Crazzy Steve has signed a new deal with TNA, which is good since he's one of their tag team champions right now. I'm interested to see what his future holds.

Ryback was sent from from Raw as contract negotiations between him and WWE continue. His current deal expires sometime this summer, and the two sides are at odds on his future. So, as of now, he's being pulled from TV until/unless something is worked out in regard to a new deal. It might be good for both sides if he takes a few months off and refreshes himself if he's burned out and hitting a wall.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Thankfully, since New Day and Enzo are so over with their verbiage, they're given the green light to delve into that territory.

2. Reigns vs. Rollins vs. Ambrose for the WWE Championship, unless they're going to have one of those names face Brock again.

3. I think the HoF should be for people instead of organizations. Ted Turner absolutely belongs in the HoF, and I hope we see more Legacy inductions in the years to come.

4. We've lost more than "several" jobs! WWE's pretty close to their shows happening here, so I don't see them totally changing their travel route unless there's immense pressure to do so. As for ROH, we'll see what things look like closer to when their shows happen.

5. They're probably not as much of a priority as adding more episodes of shows like Raw, Smackdown, and Nitro as we've seen in previous months. Once a lot of that stuff is up, we'll likely see more older content added.

More wrestling tomorrow.
