Interviews with Torrie/Victoria/Cross/Paige/Corbin, NXT name leaves, Finn gets a new look, new Global Wars matches, new Connor's Cure merchandise, and Questions on what won't be added to WWE Network, The Fiend in HIAC, comedy in wrestling, Asuka vs. Shayna, and the state of NJPW-ROH

Torrie Wilson, Victoria, and Nikki Cross are on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

NXT's Kacy Catanzaro is done with WWE after suffering a back injury. That's unfortunate; she had some really impressive skills.

Paige appeared on FOX's "What Just Happened" to promote Friday Night Smackdown.

Finn Balor shaved his head, so he could have a new look when returns to WWE.

Global Wars Especular's September 8 Wisconsin show has added:
- Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham vs. Silas Young and Josh Woods
- PCO and Brody King vs. The Bouncers
- Kelly Klein and Stacy Shadows vs. Angelina Love and Mandy Leon

Baron Corbin promoted King of the Ring. He's really been able to tap into some things that gets a certain audience pretty upset! And yes, it was good for him to have some time off after his character had been featured so prominently in consecutive top main events.

WWE has released Connor's Cure "Believe In The Fight" merchandise.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I would be quite surprised to see those events added. In general, they're going to prioritize stuff there's enough of a demand for.

2. Hell in a Cell, event-wise, is perfect for The Fiend. I do wonder what the long game is, but I think it can be a perfect spectacle for that show.

3. I got a good kick out of the Bo-Lieve gimmick, DDP as a motivational speaker, Santino Marella, Simon Dean, and The Fashion Police. A lot of Scott Steiner's work has been amazing in that regard, and I concur with Kurt Angle's early WWF career as a choice. Zeb Colter routinely had me rolling every time he had the mic. And I might be the only one but Heel Dixie Carter and Michael Cole were a blast.

4. I would love to see that, too. I know they could tear it up. No reason it can't happen down the line. I'm fine with NXT still being a place for talents to progress to bigger roles on Raw and Friday Night Smackdown.

5. Essentially NJPW is doing so many U.S. shows on its own that they don't "need" to pair with ROH. The thinking is to save their stars' health and prominence for more important NJPW shows. There's no heat between the two sides; it's just a matter of NJPW prioritizing their own expansion.

More wrestling tomorrow.
