WWE Indian tour main event update, Robbie E damages teeth at live event, Raw names on Smackdown this week, NWA streams world title match, and Questions on language barriers in the ring, Y2J's future, AJ beating Jinder, and WWE Ride Along

Triple H teased wrestling Jinder Mahal in India, which Jinder accepted. That's a good compromise for Jinder no longer being champion. Kevin Owens was at one point set to face Jinder, but it looks like that has changed for at least one of the dates of the tour.

Robbie E had two front teeth knocked out at an independent show. However, a dentist was in attendance and opened their practice at night in order to treat him. That's really cool. Tommy Dreamer offered the fans lifetime House of Hardcore tickets for their kindness. Wrestling can be pretty awesome sometimes.

The Shield are set to be on Smackdown this week to build to Survivor Series. I look forward to seeing that. 

The NWA streamed their most recent world title match live as it was taped at Championship Wrestling from Hollywood. It had 1,500 people watching on Facebook live in addition to 140 people in the building. As of this writing, it has surpassed 37,000 views. Sean Waltman was backstage at the show.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Wrestling is the universal language! As was said, they learn enough words for things like clothesline, death valley driver, superkick, etc. I'd think a lot of wrestlers speak enough English to at least do that much.

2. It's likely Jericho will return to WWE shortly after the NJPW match in order to be on the road to Wrestlemania. He'll have a pretty big profile as a result of being part of such a big match, so there will be buzz for his WWE return.

3. It definitely wasn't the plan all along. Vince moved some things around on the Survivor Series card late in the game in hopes of increasing interest.

4. That's actually a clever booking idea. It looks like they're going to do Triple H vs. Jinder in India and keep AJ in the U.S. with the WWE Championship on Smackdown's live event tour that week, but things can always change as WWE determines what they're going to build for Wrestlemania.

5. That's a good point! Hopefully viewers don't follow those poor examples of driving safety.

More wrestling tomorrow.
