International names-WWE updates, note on FloSlam change, another important ROH name leaving?, WWE-UK promotions update, Usos+Naomi update, assorted WWE press, new NXT theme, possible Impact injury, Smackdown audience, Impact live event return set, new NXT referees, and Questions on talents using the cloud, a WWE TV title, the status of GFW, and NOAH talents working Impact

Kairi Hojo will finish with STARDOM this week. She and Io Shirai look to be NXT/WWE bound barring some last-minute wrinkle. I could easily see one or both being part of the upcoming women's tournament. It would be an obvious final match if they want to go that route.

- Shirai is expected to continue to work in Japan through the time of the Mae Young Classic, coming in afterward. That works, too, if they don't want to crowd things with debuts.

FloSports (including FloSlam) is also available for a yearly rate of $150, only $12.50 a month. That's much lower than the hiked monthly rate.

Dalton Castle's ROH contract expires sometime in June. He's a no-brainer to try to sign for NXT, so it's possible we see him there in a few months. Adam Cole, reDRagon, Donovan Dijak, and Lio Rush are all out there waiting for WWE to pick them up. That's a lot of ex-ROH talent that could make a splash for the company.

WWE is still making plans to license the ICW and PROGRESS video libraries for the Network, and there's continuing speculation they'll try to work out something similar with ROH.

Australia's Demi Bennett will join the WWE Performance Center shortly. She could be part of the women's tournament along with a lot of other international talents, possibly including New Zealand's Evie (Cheree Crowley) and the UK's Nixon (Steffanie) Newell.

WWE has signed Raul Mendoza, formerly Jinzo in Mexico. He worked the first round of the CWC. I don't think I'd mind another flippy guy on 205 Live just to get a new opponent there.

The Usos and Naomi missed recent live events to film something non-WWE related. It's not known exactly what that was. I hope that doesn't mean Naomi's title reign is in jeopardy.

The former Cameron discussed wanting to return to WWE. I wouldn't mind her getting another shot IF she puts in some good work. The competition for a spot is pretty intense.

Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino, and Bob Orton will be on "Table for 3" after Raw. I'm curious how that one will do, viewers-wise.

Kurt Angle's WWE 24 documentary will hit WWE Network next month.

James Ellsworth was at batting practice in Baltimore. He's been a lot of fun.

NXT has a new theme. I do like WWE giving bands those kinds of platforms.

Chris Adonis got an MRI for an unspecified potential injury while in India, but didn't miss any work in the ring.

Chad Gable did local press to promote a Smackdown live event. American Alpha has been lose in the shuffle with New Day around. That's a shame. They're really good.

Smackdown drew 2.35 million viewers Tuesday night. So, Jinder's title reign isn't immediately tanking ratings or anything.

Impact Wrestling will return to live events with a New York show on August 5. Lashley, Alberto El Patron, Ethan Carter III, and James Storm are all advertised. It will be 22 months since their previous non-televised event. I hope that show leads to more successful live events from the promotion.

NXT debuted Kennadi Brink and EVOLVE's D.A. Brewer as referees at a Florida live event. They haven't had a regular female official in many years; it will be good to have some on hand for women's matches in the future.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. The first sentence sums it up. Younger talents have a lot of faith in institutions to not be hacked.

2. Ehhhhhhh. I don't see any reason to add another title. I don't think it means as much to hold gold when so many others have titles, too.

3. Pretty much that. Jarrett still has the rights to GFW, its titles, etc., but it's being combined with Impact for now.

4. I'm under the impression they want some NOAH talents at Slammiversary. I would expect AAA and NOAH names at Bound For Glory.

Nothing to add to 5.

More wrestling tomorrow.
