WWE Network content, Interview with Slaughter, Matt Hardy on Indian TV, 205 Live match set, former WWE star has seizure at HOH, ROH works with HOH, Helms set for another ROH show, and Questions on Catanzaro's entrance, Legends of Extreme, WWE guest hosts, Layla's WWE tenure, and how NWA operates in 2018

The Edge and Christian Show will have new episodes after Raw and TLC.

WWE Marquee Matches this week will feature:
- Beth Phoenix and Natalya vs. Laycool from TLC 2010 Tuesday at 11 p.m.
- The Wyatt Family vs. The Dudleys, Rhyno, and Tommy Dreamer from TLC 2015 Thursday at 8 p.m.
- AJ Styles vs. Finn Balor from TLC 2017 Friday at 7 p.m.

Sgt. Slaughter spoke to TMZ about Crown Jewel.

Matt Hardy was on Indian Idol. A Broken Hardy special in India could be interesting...

205 Live has added Buddy Murphy vs. Noam Dar. That should be interesting.

Big Cass was hospitalized after having a seizure at House of Hardcore's December 8 Pennsylvania event. He was originally scheduled to wrestle on the show.

ROH allowed The Briscoes to work a House of Hardcore event this weekend after PCO pulled out due to his new ROH deal. Tommy Dreamer noted he owes ROH a favor, so we'll see what that ends up being.

Hurricane Helms is set for ROH's January 13 Honorclub event in North Carolina. There's no opponent set at this time. Hopefully they get a boost for the local star.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Catanzaro has a fan base from those days and it makes sense to homage her time there.

2. I understand why people pirate WWE (not that I agree with it), but when it's a smaller company that doesn't have that level of resources, they're really hurting themselves.

3. I wouldn't be shocked if someone suggested bringing back the concept given how the audience has been lately. Generally speaking, I liked when hosts had natural charisma and both sides worked together to do interesting things. Some names just popped in to get promotion for what they were doing and didn't add anything to the show.

4. Layla had injury issues after the Laycool split and never really recovered as a character. She definitely improved quite a bit over her time in the company.

5. The NWA is essentially just one branch at this point rather than a group of members.

More wrestling tomorrow.
