More on Shibata's injury, NJPW wants top ROH team, LU airing in Japan, Cole-ROH update, Shelton return timeline, more NXT dates planned including possible Takeover, Shield reunion?, NCAA champ going to WWE?, change in TNA marketing team, Interviews with Gas/Bray/Dux, EVOLVE ref works CWC, another Classic series in the works?, WWE performer returning soon?, Corgan shoots down TNA rumor, new WWE building, and Questions on Vince passing the torch, Summerslam's ending, Punk's UFC entrance, Tony Atlas, and Gargano's future

Katsuyori Shibata's injury is expected to keep him out of the ring for some time, so his rematch with Bobby Fish is off for now. Hopefully this doesn't derail his career. He was really impressive this week on ROH TV.

NJPW is interested in signing reDRagon. That's significant given how frequently they both work ROH. Kyle O'Reilly seems poised to be ROH Champion soon. Both men are pretty talented athletes, so I can see why NJPW would be interested. I'd be surprised if WWE/NXT isn't looking their way, too.

LU has begun airing in Japan via Samurai! TV. That's a good milestone for them, and presumably gives them a better chance of getting a Season 4.

Adam Cole's ROH contract was set to end at the end of the year, but due to missing time from injuries, his deal could run through the end of April. WWE is interested in signing him once his deal expires, but nothing's set in stone at this point. He could definitely be a player there with his years of experience and innate charisma.

Shelton Benjamin is expected to miss about six months due to his recent shoulder surgery. Whether he'll still be used on Smackdown is unknown; WWE might shift gears by then.

There's talk of doing a Takeover show in MSG before the end of the year. That might be hard to pull off, timing-wise, with another Takeover set in November. They also want to run Boston.

With Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns all working as faces, there's talk of them working together at Survivor Series. That could be pretty cool. How about Rollins/Ambrose/Reigns/Cena/Zayn vs. HHH/Owens/AJ/Club?

Nick Gwiazdowski, two-time NCAA heavyweight champion, was at Backlash. He's on WWE's radar, but will likely do the 2020 Olympics before getting a deal.

Eric Barnes, the last member of TNA's marketing department, is no longer a full-time employee there. He remains on board as a consultant. I would assume his roles are now being taken up by other employees.

Pete Gas discussed his WWE work past and present:
- It's not the Posse's fault they got over! I understand wanting them to respect the business and all, but getting overly physical just to "teach them a lesson" is going too far.

- I appreciate MSP wanting to get better.

- I wanted a MSP run-in during Shane vs. Taker SO BAD.

EVOLVE referee DA Brewer worked the dark match at the final CWC show, so it's possible he does NXT work going forward.

WWE is considering doing a CWC-esque series in early 2017, possibly focusing on unsigned women's competitors. It's not a bad idea to scout more credible women for NXT and the main roster. Santana Garrett, Tessa Blanchard, and Deonna Purrazzo have all impressed in their NXT appearances; I'm surprised none of them have been signed.

Emma is expected back soon. She's scheduled to be on the road for WWE this coming week. I hope she comes back to do good things. She's been something of a sleeper hit.

Bray Wyatt gave a pair of interviews about his heroes in wrestling and his family background. I'm really glad he got this character instead of Husky Harris or Duke Rotundo.

Billy Corgan responded to reports of him "lining up investors" to try to buy TNA. He's definitely wealthy enough to purchase the company himself. Certain reporters need to better check their sources following this and the "Paige quit but she didn't really quit and then she unquit" fiasco.

Tyson Dux discussed how the CWC was set up and more. I'm very surprised they let the wrestlers do so many head/neck bumps. Also, I'd like to see Dux join the main roster as a good hand to work with newer/younger talents. He had a really solid showing.

WWE purchased a building where they had been tenants for years following a bankruptcy proceeding. I hope they make good use of it.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Ha! Vince is going to hang on as long as he can. He's stubborn and has a strong will.

2. They wanted it to look like Brock went off-script and "went into business for himself." The goal was to get people talking. They succeeded, but I don't know if it was worth it.

3. You can watch his whole fight TWICE in the time it takes to listen to that song. Let that sink in for a second.

4. I REALLY want to see Atlas manage the Usos now. AHUH HUH HUH HUH UH HUH HUH HUH.

5. I believe he's just finishing out bookings he had already agreed to before signing his full-time NXT deal.

More wrestling tomorrow.
