Asuka vs. Nikki Cross in a Last Woman Standing match for the NXT Women's Championship will be taped for the June 28 episode. That should be amazing. NXT tapes again on June 23.
Randy Orton talked to promote MITB. It's weird to see him now being the one putting over the young main eventers.
Mike Bennett and Maria are expected to debut on WWE TV this week, and Rusev is expected to return on Smackdown. Bennett's an IC Title level guy and not really particularly exciting, but he's a veteran who can wrestle well enough so I can see why WWE's using the duo. As for Rusev, I hope he does well. I'm interested to see how he will or won't interact with Lana on the brand.
WWE promoted a large tryout they recently had. As expected, they got an impressive list of talent with a big variety of backgrounds. Crazzy Steve, Cody Deaner, Odinson, and Raphael King were among those attending. I hope Steve makes it after leaving Impact.
David Otunga talked to Muscle & Fitness about his upcoming movie and more. It sounds like he's going to to be pretty occupied for a while before coming to the Raw announce booth.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Generally the rights to those go to the distributors for DVDs, etc. It's possible WWE feels it would cut into the profits of DVDs if they're available on the Network. They're not making huge money for the company as it is.
2. WWE kayfabe holds that she's dead, so unless Bray "brings her back" or something, it doesn't look like we'll see anyone playing her. Nikki Cross would make a good Abigail, but she's already establishing herself as part of SAnitY.
3. Another reminder WWE sees its superstars as billboards/products and they'll wear what Vince wants 'em to wear DAMMIT!
4. That would be AFN's call.
Nothing to add to 5.
More wrestling tomorrow.
