WWE+GFW merch news, Interview with Nia, Rowan at Warped Tour, more praise for Amato, UFC name working Summerslam?, Gallows' character trademarked, and Questions on Christian retiring, AJ headlining live events instead of Shinsuke, debuting at Mania in the main event, and why Hacksaw had a 2x4

GFW is selling Super X Cup T-shirts. It's a fairly important event given the talent from around the world and the possible signing of ACH.

WWE Shop now has a Mae Young Classic T-shirt as well as reusable party cups. Chris Jericho is one of the wrestlers with a party cup design, so he's still very much in the WWE orbit.

Nia Jax talked to ESPN. She's got a lot of athletic background and has worked hard to make a niche for herself. She's definitely not just getting pushed because she's The Rock's cousin.

Erick Rowan visited Alestorm at the Warped Tour. Without his wrestling outfit and mask, he looks like he fits right in at the venue.

Triple H put over Sara Amato on Twitter. He honored her for her work with women at the WWEPC at the second night of the MYC.

UFC's Cris Cyborg challenged Becky Lynch for Summerslam. It's worth looking into, but I don't think UFC would let one of their fighters potentially get injured in that kind of scenario.

Luke Gallows' former wrestling promotion WrestleMerica has filed a trademark for Gallows' "Sex Ferguson" character. That would potentially cause problems for Luke if he wanted to use that name at another promotion after his WWE run.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Not every wrestler gets their moment in the sun on TV. Some finish their in-ring careers uneventfully.

2. They probably trusted AJ to headline the live event more than Nakamura, since AJ's been at that level in WWE and Shinsuke hasn't. Shinsuke vs. Jinder would be two relatively untested main eventers facing off.

Nothing to add to 3.

4. It looks like the only one left out is Sgt. Slaughter at Wrestlemania VII.

5. Apparently it was to fend off unruly fans. The territory days were pretty crazy.

More wrestling time.
