NWA women's title match set, former WWE Champion returning, SDL matches, and Questions on Bryan's new tights, Impact hiring non-wrestlers, Vince turning Braun, Bryan doing headbutts, and Jarrett as a top guy

Jazz vs. Penelope Ford for the NWA Women's Championship is official for NWA's 70th anniversary event. It will be interesting to see what NWA decides to do there.

Set for Smackdown Live:
- Big Show vs. Randy Orton in a WWE World Cup qualifying match. This is Big Show's first match in 13 months.
- Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy in a WWE World Cup qualifying match. This is Jeff Hardy's first broadcast match since Hell in a Cell.
- Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Women's Championship. If Becky gets disqualified, Charlotte becomes the new champion.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Almost definitely a Seahawks reference.

2. Impact has definitely shifted to doing more vignettes lately, for better or worse. It's easier to tape fewer matches per show so they don't have to run as many nights of tapings.

3. Raw needs some credible top heels, and Vince clearly doesn't want to turn Roman, so we got heel Braun instead.

4. They trust Bryan enough to be as safe as can be expected in those circumstances. Obviously nothing's concussion-proof, but he's passed the tests, so he's back.

5. Generally when Jarrett's been pushed as a top guy, there weren't a lot of other options for that spot. In Impact, he trusted himself to get the job done and not leave the company for greener pastures.

More wrestling tomorrow.
