Davey return update, Cena gets another movie part, post-Raw dark match, another WWE video library, WWE interested in women for tournament, new 205 Live signing, ROH shows announced, TNA audience, why Stephanie wasn't at Raw, Raw cameos, and Questions on HHH screwing The Shield, Ellsworth's push vs. NXT alumni, Goldberg's biggest squash, and even more on how WWE booked Brock vs. Goldberg

Davey Richards is advertised as wrestling on December 3, so he could easily be back in the ring at TNA's next tapings in January. I'm curious how he'll fit into things. Competing against Eddie Edwards would seem to be a given, even if it's a face-face feud. Richards has said 2017 will be his last year as a wrestler, so TNA should make the most of him while he's still active.

John Cena has taken another feature film role. There's no word of when he'll be taping, but certainly it seems he'll be even less of a full-timer in 2017. He's certainly earned a life after wrestling. I just hope WWE's prepared to transition to a time where he's more of a Chris Jericho or Undertaker kind of presence.

Roman Reigns beat Kevin Owens a second time after Raw in the dark match. It's time to start speculating where those two will fit into things in WM33 season, and whom will be Universal Champion once that event's over. I'd think Owens/Zayn, Owens/Balor, and Balor/Rollins would all be possibilities, but we're far enough out to where a number of things can change between now and then.

WWE is acquiring the library of the Heartland Wrestling Association, which was their first developmental territory. The deal involves all episodes of the HWA TV show in Ohio other than the Brian Pillman Memorial Shows. Those are still owned by Pillman's estate. I don't know what kind of audience those shows will have on their own, but I would definitely think they could use footage to show early days of superstars.

WWE is interested in a number of female talents for the upcoming women's tournament in the vein of the CWC. Names under consideration include Heidi Lovelace, Kimber Lee, Nixon Newell, Cheree Crowley (Evie), Deonna Purrazzo, and Rachael Ellering. Purrazzo and Ellering have both appeared on NXT a number of times. I'd like to see Thea Trinidad (Rosita from TNA), Tessa Blanchard, and Santana Garrett involved, too. The series is currently expected to begin before WM33.

WWE has signed Mustafa Ali to join 205 Live as a regular. They're scooping up quite a few cruiserweights. If I'm someone like Lio Rush, ACH, or an X-Division star, I'm getting my resume ready to send their way.

ROH has announced a February 3 show in San Antonio, Texas, and a February 4 show in Dallas, Texas. Cody will be part of both events.

TNA's audience was only 165,000 for Thanksgiving. I expect that's just a one-week dip for the holiday.

Vince McMahon promoted the debut of 205 Live. The passing of the torch to the next generation continues. Vince isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but he's definitely cognizant of the fact he won't be able to run the company forever. So, people like Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are getting more responsibilities so they get practice for steering the ship on their own someday.

Stephanie McMahon missed Raw due to being in China on WWE's behalf. With her role as chief brand officer, representing the company is more important than being an on-screen authority figure.

Montana Black and Zane Riley were in the Sheamus/Cesaro fight on Raw. Tessa Blanachard made a cameo, too.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I definitely think that will set up HHH vs. Rollins at WM33.

2. I don't really see the connection.The fact so many people from NXT are on the main roster at all is a sign WWE is confident they're ready for that level. Only so many people can be "pushed" at one time. A lot of people are going to end up being supporting members of the cast instead of in starring roles.

3. It'd be hard to argue otherwise! BIG decisive win for Goldberg.

4. I would think the test failure has blown over by now. They had a chance to punish him at Summerslam and they didn't. This was all about milking Goldberg's return for big matches at the Rumble and WM33. I think we're in for Goldberg/Brock III at Mania and presumably Taker vs. Cena.

5. I think it was primarily just to do a big, shocking finish rather than concerns Goldberg can't "go." We'll almost certainly see more from Goldberg in the Rumble and at WM33. While he's not the man he was 20 years ago, he's not THAT fragile.

More wrestling tomorrow.
