MTV star at WWE Mexico, Interviews with Nia/PCO, WWE names at Mattel, Strong to EVOLVE, Becky's Superstar picks, and Questions on WWE holiday tapings, Cody's injury, NJPW on Fite, covering Impact events, HOH-Twitch, and Paige back in the ring

MTV star Karime Pindter was at WWE's December 2 Mexico event.

Nia Jax was on Impact Theory. She can be an important media figure for WWE going forward.

PCO discussed signing with ROH and more. Here are highlights. A nearly 51-year-old former WWF/WCW name in ROH full-time sounds crazy on paper, but he could really add something fun and unique to the mix. I'm definitely excited to see what he does.

Alexa Bliss, Zack Ryder, and Curt Hawkins toured Mattel HQ.

Roderick Strong teased working EVOLVE on December 15 and December 16. That would definitely make up for LAX pulling out.

Becky Lynch did Superstar Picks for WWE Network.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. To clarify, the December 17 Raw will be live, immediately followed by a taping of the December 24 Raw in the same venue. The December 18 Smackdown Live will be live, immediately followed by a taping of the December 25 Smackdown Live in the same venue. The December 31 Raw will be taped on December 27. The January 1 Smackdown Live will be taped on December 28.

2. Cody intends to wrestle on both shows before having knee surgery. It's expected to be a fairly minor procedure, only keeping him out of action about six weeks.

3. As indicated, the Fite broadcast is for people who aren't interested in/able to navigate New Japan World, and the people who just want to see the one show without signing up for the whole service.

4. Honestly there's not a lot of interest in Impact events anymore. Fewer people are paying attention to the company now than they were before they were on Fox Sports Net, which is a pretty low mark.

5. I'm curious how that works out for them.

6. Unless she really "pulls a Daniel Bryan" and gets outside doctors to clear her, I don't see WWE signing off on her wrestling again. Of course, if she leaves WWE, she'll have the ability to wrestle elsewhere if she so chooses, but I don't see her taking that option.

More wrestling tomorrow.
