Change to Final Battle main event?, ex-NXT star to ROH?, WWE Network growing, legends' daughters wrestling, Corgan on TNA court date, 2017 HoF update, Headbangers back on Smackdown, Aries hurt, NXT live event notes, and Questions on Kenny-Cena heat, Goldberg's awesome promo, GFW replacing TNA, and Molly Holly

Jay Lethal could be added to the main event of Final Battle to make it a triple threat. Ehhhhh. I'm pretty tired of him as a main eventer. It looks like they want to give him something of a rub in case Kyle O'Reilly is looking like he won't re-sign for 2017. Kyle and Bobby Fish heading to NJPW or elsewhere could make a dent in ROH.  

Former NXT star Josh Woods had a tryout with ROH recently. With his MMA background, he'd probably fit in better there than he did in WWE.

WWE Network is now the No. 5 top subscription streaming service in the United States, behind Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and MLB.tv. That's great news! 

The daughters of Hulk Hogan, Diamond Dallas Page, Roddy Piper, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Kerry Von Erich are apparently making their own wrestling league. Christy Hemme is also connected, and they could go against TNA. I'll believe it when I see it. It's an interesting idea, though.

Billy Corgan tweeted about Wednesday's court hearing. We'll find out the next steps Monday. That will be a very big day for TNA, and possibly the wrestling business as a whole.

The 2017 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is set for the Friday before Wrestlemania 33, with Takeover happening the night before WM33. The dates were reversed last year. NXT could pull a really big house that night.

The Headbangers will work Smackdown this week as part of the challenge to be part of Smackdown's Survivor Series team. So, we could end up seeing them more regularly.

Austin Aries got his eye swollen recently. OOOOUUUCCCCHHHH.

Lince Dorado, TJ Perkins, and Cedric Alexander worked an NXT live event in Florida. Tian Bing and Bianca Blair had singles matches... they're both pretty new to NXT live events.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Kenny might just be back for a few more weeks anyway. Either way, it's not like he's in for a big push so I don't see him getting buried or anything if he's still got heat with Cena.

2. I think he delivered one hell of a promo to reintroduce himself to the audience and introduce himself to a lot of newer fans. Part of this run is him getting a big sendoff, and saying goodbye to the fans and all that, so it was appropriate for him to get to speak more.

3. I wouldn't assume GFW will "replace" TNA. Some names might end up working there, but unless Jarrett gets a TV deal and some serious money, he's not going to reach the level of awareness TNA currently has.

4. I'm glad she's getting that chance.

Nothing to add to 5.
More wrestling tomorrow.
