Marti Bell's TNA contract has expired. TNA hadn't used her for some time, going as far as to book her for a Colorado promotion during one set of tapings because they didn't have plans for her. I assume there's a chance WWE uses her for the upcoming women's tournament, but I don't think she'd get any special consideration just for having worked in TNA.

Brock Lesnar is now set for a March 10 live event in New York. He's booked for quite a bit in the weeks and months ahead.

Randy Orton had a confrontation with a fan at a gym when said fan tried to get a picture with Orton during a workout. The fan took a picture of Orton anyway. I can definitely see why a busy Orton didn't want to stop a workout in order to take a picture with a fan; famous people need space and time for themselves, too.

Triple H confirmed a WWE women's tournament is in the works for this summer. The idea is to do an invitational, a bit like the CWC. It's mainly a matter of getting the timing right.

Kenny Omega talked about his current status:
- I like him having some time off after such a major event. It makes his next appearance all the more meaningful.

- Is the allure of being IWGP Champion enough to keep him in NJPW? Of course that's a mark consideration, but it's still a pretty big milestone.

- He can really make waves if he jumps to WWE/NXT. Theoretically he could go to TNA, but I don't really know why he would.

Raw drew 3.27 million Monday, a nice jump as we head toward Royal Rumble.

Darren Young was injured while taping Main Event. Young's quite the soldier for WWE, so I hope he recovers soon.

The Young Bucks have accepted the Hardys' challenge for a tag team title match. It's expected they'll compete at Supercard of Honor XI on April 1. No idea what that means for the Hardys' future in TNA. It's possible that match will just happen for the live crowd and TNA would still have the rights to use them for TV, etc.

Jushin "Thunder" Liger, YOSHI-HASHI, Volador Jr., and Dragon Lee are all booked for Supercard of Honor XI. I expect more NJPW/CMLL names will be announced for ROH events to come, especially the upcoming anniversary show.

Superkliq/Cody vs. Jay Lethal/Bobby Fish/Briscoes has been booked for ROH's February 11 TV taping. It looks like Bobby Fish could be headed into the ROH Title picture. It will be interesting to see if he gets a big push in O'Reilly's absence.

Set for ROH's February 12 show:
- The Kingdom vs. three opponents chosen by the fans.
- Marty Scurll vs. Lio Rush in a Proving Ground match. Fans will vote on whether the match will be two-out-of-three falls, a submission match, or a European-style rounds contest.
- Adam Cole/Hangman Page vs. Jay Lethal/Bobby Fish, with fans determining whether it's a tables match, a no DQ match, or a falls count anywhere match.
- Cody vs. Dalton Castle

WWE is gauging interest from the recent UK tournament in a number of areas:
- Favorite matches and performers from the tournament
- Potential ticket prices for future UK live events
- What UK independent promotions fans watch. Interestingly, TNA was included, too, but not ROH, even though ROH recently ran shows there and TNA is no longer on TV in the area.
- A potential weekly UK show
-- So, WWE is really keeping an eye on that market and looking at what moves to make as far as whom to sign and how much of a potential fan base/revenue stream exists there.

Philadelphia still wants a future Wrestlemania or other major event. WM34 was originally pitched to be in the Northeast, but New Orleans made a big play to bring the event there instead.

William Regal discussed Kassius Ohno coming back to NXT. I hope Ohno is able to make a big impact in WWE; he has quite the reputation to live up to.

Funko will release Pop figures of Shawn Michaels and Kane. Those are great.

Kurt Angle talked about going into the WWE HoF:
- Stone Cold inducting him would be great. Bob Backlund or Bruno Sammartino would also work.

- I loved Olympic Hero Kurt and the "you suck" chants. Some of the most fun I've had a wrestling fan.

- Yes, I imagine a lot of WWE fans wonder where Kurt's been these past 10 years, if they've been watching long enough to remember him at all. Even at its height, TNA didn't reach a lot of WWE viewers.

- Interesting he hasn't spoken to Vince. No way Vince didn't sign off on Kurt going into the Hall.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. With the brand split, each show has a lot fewer names to work with. So, they stretch out things that work for as long as possible. Otherwise, they'd run through all potential feuds pretty quickly.

2. I imagine they just haven't gotten around to it yet. Other shows have higher priority because they assume more people want to see older episodes of Smackdown than NXT or classic content from promotions from the past.

3. I don't know if he's still recovering or what, but, yes, it helps with injuries.

4. They were friends, then enemies, then put that all behind them in order to work against common threats. I expect they'll remain on the same side for now, with Rollins going against HHH at WM33 as a face. I don't see them turning Roman, so they'll probably continue being allies for the foreseeable future.

5. Vince is going to book the way Vince wants to book as long as he continues to get good enough results to keep his TV deals, etc. Even if USA Network or someone steps in, it will probably be seen as a case of the IWC favorites not getting over as well as guys like Cena rather than creative being at fault. Even if creative does get the blame, it will probably be the newer writers or someone on the chopping block rather than Vince and the people in his inner circle. Vince, like a lot of people, doesn't like to be "wrong" and will spin things to where it's someone else who's to blame.

More wrestling tomorrow.
