Ciampa pulled from another appearance, new WWE international TV deal, Cena appearance, Raw audience, new Fastlane matches, another Shield teaming, legends set for Jericho cruise, Interview with Koloff, Smackdown Live dark matches, and Questions on no one saving Flair from Batista, WWE changing HoF plans due to Taker, ROH regretting helping The Elite, Russo being hired in 2019, and if Kofi can win the big one

Tommaso Ciampa has been pulled from his March 15 Chaotic Wrestling appearance. War Machine's Hanson will take his place. I assume that change is due to Ciampa no longer being considered an NXT talent, and thus not being available for outside appearances.

WWE has announced Belgium has a TV deal to show one-hour versions of Raw and Smackdown Live every Wednesday night. Both will have local subtitles.

John Cena will appear at a New York bookstore on April 5 to promote "Elbow Grease."

Raw drew 2.78 million viewers Monday.

Fastlane has added:
- The Revival vs. Aleister Black and Ricochet vs. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable for the Raw Tag Team Championship
- Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade on Kickoff. That's a surprising pick for that spot. Obviously there's no cruiserweight match this time, but surely they could have had something less prominent moved so Rey and Andrade could be in a more important spot?

The Shield are advertised as teaming for the April 22 Raw, against Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley. So, there are plans for more of the trio working together after Fastlane. Notably, that date is after the Superstar Shakeup, but it's possible that doesn't take effect for a few weeks after the moves are announced on TV.

Chris Jericho's 2020 cruise has added Diamond Dallas Page, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, and Vickie Guerrero. It should be another stacked event.

Nikita Koloff talked about the Crockett Cup and more on Busted Open. It makes sense to use names from the past to promote the NWA's current iteration.

Before Smackdown Live, Heavy Machinery defeated Sanity's Killian Dain and Alexander Wolfe. With the Hardys back, HM has stiff competition in that tag division.

After Smackdown Live, AJ Styles defeated Randy Orton. It's wild those two aren't booked at Fastlane, but it makes sense to hold that match off until WrestleMania.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. A lot of names were probably shocked by Batista's sudden and violent return! And, honestly, Triple H deserved first crack at Batista after that.

2. Interesting idea, but there's nothing to suggest that's what's happening. It's possible they wanted Batista to headline, though, only for him to be able to make one last match after all, so he's being held off.

3. ROH got to have their world championship defended in front of 11,000 people in the U.S., their biggest live event audience by far. It made sense for them to be part of All In. And, yes, ROH knew when those deals were coming up and to some degree what they had up their sleeves. ROH made some really good offers to keep those names, but they knew they weren't going to be able to compete with WWE or Khan money on top of being able to offer new opportunities to The Elite.

4. I don't see it happening, since his reputation among the current generation of workers is so negative. The legend of him "killing WCW and TNA" grows every time it's told, and a lot of people just accept it as fact.

5. WWE definitely has an opportunity to do something big with Kofi. The key will be gauging whether Kofimania can be a long-term trend. It's worth a shot. I mean, Jinder Mahal became WWE Champion, so I don't see why Kofi can't! And of course they can always turn him if/when fans abandon him.

More wrestling tomorrow.
