WWE-Charter update, new Smackdown match,and Questions on Kota as cruiser champ, Rollins changing finishers, pushing the Bellas, no Curtain Call, and AJ's WM33 opponent

WWE content is safe on Charter networks for now, as Charter continues negotiations with NBC Universal. Does anyone really think they won't come to an agreement? They need each other!

Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin is set for Smackdown. I'm curious to see where those two end up on the road to WM33.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. He was definitely the favorite to go home with the title. However, if he won, he'd have to pretty much immediately go on the road for the company as the centerpiece of the division. I don't know if he would have been ready to move his life to the U.S. and jump right into the swing of things as a member of the Raw roster.

2. After finishing his angle with HHH, they could definitely have him switch his move to something more fitting for a wrestler his size. That said, they could also have him keep the move as something of a changing of the guard.

3. WWE was already behind the Bellas due to them being over with the E! audience. The links with Bryan and Cena definitely didn't hurt, but I think Total Divas/Total Bellas is the main reason they were featured so much. As for Renee, I think a lot of it is the brand split opening up doors for her to get a bigger role, as well as her own appearances on E!.

4. HHH was probably going to end up a big deal no matter what. Him not being pushed at that particular moment just meant he had to earn it more/others got a chance to be featured.

5. I agree with the questioner! They'll have to really have something up their sleeves for AJ at WM33. I'd like to see AJ vs. Balor, personally, but I don't think Finn's going to be ready in time for the Rumble. AJ vs. Joe is a possibility, too.

More wrestling tomorrow.
