Chris Jericho attacked Kenny Omega and Don Callis at the final night of NJPW's World Tag League. Genius surprise appearance. NJPW needs to get all the mileage out of this they can.

Paige talked on Lilian Garcia's podcast, confirming her October 2016 Wellness policy failure was for an illegal substance, rather than prescription painkillers as she originally claimed. Paige made that claim because she didn't want to be seen in a negative light.

- Paige also discussed the fallout from the sexual video being released online, leading to her getting sick and collapsing due to stress-induced anorexia.

- Paige met with Vince and Stephanie McMahon before returning. I hope she can stay on a positive path now after a really rough period.

Tribute to the Troops will feature:
- New Day/Usos vs. Shelton Benjamin/Chad Gable/Rusev/Aiden English
- Absolution vs. Bayley/Sasha Banks/Mickie James
- Charlotte vs. Ruby Riott
- The Shield vs. Samoa Joe/The Bar
- AJ Styles/Shinsuke Nakamura/Randy Orton vs. Jinder Mahal/Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn
-- That's a pretty solid lineup.

Raw will tour South Africa from April 18 through April 21. That's a pretty impressive get for the country.

GLOW's Alison Brie was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance. The series itself wasn't nominated, interestingly.

Impact Wrestling confirmed their tapings from January 10 through January 15 in Florida. Whether Laurel Van Ness will appear beyond the first night remains to be seen.

WWE and Kevin Owens supported a child bullying victim. This boy's story has been all over the news this week, with a large outpouring from celebrities.

Paige has a new T-shirt on WWE Shop. I'm glad she's back in a positive way.

Christian was on a Canadian TV show. Good to see him getting work post-WWE.

WWE Network is now a cable channel in Malaysia. WWE must have gotten a good offer to go that route there.

The former Sawyer Fulton has returned to the indies as Madman Fulton, playing off his work in SAnitY. He wasn't able to get much momentum going in NXT, so hopefully he'll be able to get something going there.

WWE released an animated holiday video. Someone actually got paid to make this.

Bully Ray will return to the ring at Final Battle, teaming with Tommy Dreamer against the Briscoes in a New York Street Fight. The story is that Bully is getting a medical waiver in order to compete that night. We'll see how much he wrestles after this given all the teases of being done.

ROH has announced pre-show matches for Final Battle:
- Jonathan Gresham vs. Josh Woods
- The Dawgs vs. Cheeseburger and a partner of Cheeseburger's choosing

Rich Swann was released from jail Monday after signing a statement that he wouldn't have any hostile contact with his wife. A court hearing is forthcoming. I really hope this ends well for all involved. It was disheartening to hear about Sunday's events.

Ric Flair will be doing a Q&A series on his YouTube channel.

Sylvester Stallone teased Brock Lesnar will be in the next Rocky Balboa movie, likely in the role of Ivan Drago's son. That would be INSANE.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.a. It definitely fits right in with what Bray likes to do, which is probably a plus.

1.b. Matt will be able to pitch whatever he wants, but it will be a matter of those ideas being approved by the people who have to shoot them, etc. I don't think it's a stretch to say Billy Corgan was more on-board with that whole aesthetic than WWE is likely to be.

2. It's a lot riskier out there if you're not with a big promotion. There are people working through things that need doctors' attention who can't afford to take time off to get it treated. That's hardly just a wrestling problem, but few professions are as dangerous.

3. The NWA needs to be able to give wrestlers a place they want to work and fans a product they want to see. More specifically, he needs to give people something they can't get elsewhere. The NWA legacy is going to be part of that, certainly, but it needs to be used in a way that connects with an audience that's more familiar with Goldust and Cody than Dusty Rhodes.

4. Rowan was definitely cast for the gimmick after they had already seen Husky transform into Bray and signed Harper. They needed a third guy, so they had Rowan change what he was doing in FCW to be another member of the family. I doubt Vince had anything to do with that, actually, since the trio were put together in FCW and came up through NXT. As for how he's been booked since then, I definitely see Bray, Harper, and Braun as bigger prospects. Rowan works better in a team or group setting.

5. I think the Warrior questions are a rib, but yes, they could definitely do a FAQ page to cut back on the repetitive questions.

More wrestling tomorrow.
