WWE Network has added a "Subscriber's Choice" Royal Rumble match collection, featuring the signature match from 1992, 2000, 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2015, and 2016. I'm curious to see how the 2017 edition of the match will hold up.
The Hardys competed in Mexico's CRASH promotion for their tag team championship. TNA captured footage from this for upcoming programming. It says something when your tag division is so uncompetitive your champions have to start going to other promotions for credible challengers.
AAA stars Pentagon Jr., Daga, and Garza Jr. have all announced they are "going independent" from the company. Daga was seemingly already done with LU, but "Pentagon Dark" is one of their top stars. It's currently unknown how a potential Season 4 of LU will be affected by this. Pentagon Jr. is now going by Penta El Cero Miedo outside of LU. He could easily be on WWE's radar if he can get out of his LU deal. With that promotion not set to tape until late 2017, I can see him and other LY names considering their options.
Mickie James hasn't worked any Smackdown live events yet; Alexa Bliss teamed with Carmella in losses to Becky Lynch and Naomi this weekend. No La Luchadora on hand, either, but James Ellsworth was in the heel corner.
Jerry Lawler talked about his TV return and more. I definitely think he'd rather be a character than a commentator.
WWE will release the first paperback of its BOOM! Studios comic series on August 7.
WWE has released cover art for its upcoming book of top 10 lists.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.What is with this "Kevin Dunn runs WWE" meme? Dunn is just in charge of production, and Vince oversees him. It's still very much Vince's company, but Triple H and Stephanie have more freedom to experiment.
2. The WWE Network is a bigger priority. It wouldn't surprise me if their goal is to eventually buy Floslam and get the rights to what's shown there, and the investment was just an early step in that.
3. What if they watch the live feed on an iPad or something? Heck, it's 2017!
4. In kayfabe? I assume Bayley let her have enough rope to hang herself/wanted to hear all she had to say, etc.
5. Could be good! If WWE builds both men a good deal in the years to come, that could be something worth watching when they're on the same brand. They shouldn't rush to do it.
More wrestling tomorrow.
