NXT name returns, WWE vs. Impact in the UK, Impact pairing with Canadian indie, Memphis Wrestling back on the air, MMC hype, Miz makes history, Interview with Roode, Titus does another good deed, and Questions on Rousey getting a sponsor, music rights, Ronda's debut, Rey-WWE issues, and MMC being a comedy

Lars Sullivan has returned to action. Good to see he didn't have to miss long.

Apollo Crews defeated Moose in the UK. Crews was allowed to work the event as the hosting promotion previously let WWE run a venue that's normally exclusive to that entity. It's cool to see a match between a talent contracted to WWE and one signed with Impact.

Impact is running a live event with Destiny Wrestling in Ontario on March 4. So they'll at least be having matches there soon even if it won't be for Redemption and the following shows.

Memphis Wrestling will return to local television on Saturday mornings beginning in April. That's pretty cool.

Rusev and Lana mocked Elias and Bayley. Rusev is a treasure.

The Miz now has the second-most number of days as Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. Wow. That's really big for him, and he could very easily move into first place.

Bobby Roode discussed his entrance and more. I'd think he'd still be over without such a great song, but it's definitely really made a mark.

Titus O'Neil helped another group of university students attend a major speech.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. If she wants to represent a sponsor, I think WWE would be open to it. Brock is able to get everything he wants in WWE because they know he can be a draw and could go back to UFC if he wants. I don't think Rousey has quite that level of power, but I'd think she'd be able to get some pretty good perks.

2. It's an agreement for a certain period of time, rather than a per-use situation. Honestly, the record label and songwriter get most of it.

3. I think it was all pretty cool. They can save Ronda's first actual promo for later. Hopefully it also sets up Ronda vs. Asuka down the line.

4. It could be the feeling WWE's already had a number of talents coming in part-time for a few big matches at a high rate, so they're being more cautious here. Both sides want to work together; it's just a matter of agreeing on the number of dates and the cost.

5. It's been a breath of fresh air. I'm more than happy to have more entertainment in my sports entertainment. I wouldn't mind more in that vein.

More wrestling tomorrow.
