TJ Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick has been officially added to Hell in a Cell. I'm sure they'll have another good match. I'm curious what each man does next.

John Cena's "American Grit" will begin production next week. So, we won't be seeing him on Smackdown for a while. Using him to build AJ and Dean was smart for that reason.

Alberto El Patron discussed being stabbed and more on The Taz Show. Here's a recap:
- So now it's "he was stabbed because someone disrespected Paige." I thought it was due to a car accident? Or a drunken homeless man?

- It's pretty telling WWE did intentionally split Del Rio and Paige to different shows due to their behavior as a couple.

- There are definitely places to make a living outside of WWE, but unless you're a former WWE name or a big deal internationally, WWE is generally where you'll make the big money.

- Umm, Del Rio's contract was coming up anyway so they let him out of it a few weeks early. It's not like he pulled a C.M. Punk or anything.

TNA's final show of original content for 2016 is set to be Total Nonstop Deletion from the Hardy compound. The show will feature teams from outside of the company in a falls count anywhere match, as well as the in-ring debut of King Maxel Hardy, and a match between Grado and Smoking Joe Frazier the kangaroo. That sounds amazing if it doesn't "jump the shark" and kill whatever's left of the DELETE idea.

- Matt Hardy promoted the plan on Twitter.

Tribute to the Troops will air on Wednesday, December 14, so it's not taking the place of that week's Smackdown. That's good; Smackdown being replaced would signal it's not as important of a brand as Raw.

Elimination Chamber will return as a PPV in 2017. It's unknown if it will be a Raw show or a Smackdown show, and when we'll see it. Since Raw got HIAC, maybe Smackdown should get that show?

John Cena voices a character in a new Wonderful Pistachios ad campaign. He's got a lot going for him outside of WWE.

Sin Cara is now officially part of the cruiserweight division, where he'll be safe from Braun Strowman. I'm surprised they have three luchadores in the division, but I don't suppose I should be considering the heavy Latin influence on the history of cruiserweight wrestling.

Seth Rollins showed off some battle scars from his Raw main event. He and Jericho went all out.

Paige's brothers have insinuated her Wellness violation was due to an unapproved substance that was legally prescribed to help her deal with her neck problems. The story is she "had to go private" due to
not receiving adequate care under the Wellness policy.

- WWE responded to a New York Post report on Paige's suspension, stating the Wellness violation was due to an unapproved substance rather than prescribed painkillers. I'm starting to doubt we'll see her in a WWE ring again.

Raw's audience Monday was 2.76 million. I can see why they're pulling out Brock and Goldberg to try to get that number up.

AJ Styles will defend the WWE Championship against James Ellsworth next week on Smackdown. Also on that show, Naomi will face Alexa Bliss and Baron Corbin will face Jack Swagger. I'm glad they have matches set up for the next episode, but we could see another Curt Hawkins situation where one thing's planned but doesn't actually happen.

After Smackdown, John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, and Nikki Bella beat Baron Corbin, The Miz, and Carmella. A Cena/Corbin feud would be interesting, but I don't expect we'll see it until "American Grit" finishes taping its second season.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I think he can be a mostly serious competitor who also has comedic moments, which is pretty much how he was used in the CWC.

2. Well, WWE insists the Wellness violation was unrelated to a prescription. Make of that what you will. If a talent has a prescription for a legitimate reason and gets the paperwork to WWE in time, that doesn't count as a Wellness violation.

3. They knew TNA's financial situation when they bought in, so they really can't blame TNA for not being able to pay them back.

4. I think it was entirely related to grabbing viewers' attention before the U.S. presidential debate, given the YUGE chunk the first one took out of Raw viewership.

5. We'll see how things go as they continue to differentiate the two shows.

More wrestling tomorrow.
