NXT star shoots on WWE shirt design, Interviews with Dangerous Davis/Punk, Graves seeks input, Ali makes cameo, new Raw and Dynamite segments, MLW's first women's match set, WWE on-screen return set, and Questions on FOX+USA's draft picks, New Day's future, historic moments, Sami's PWT design, and XFL pay

NXT's Jordan Myles criticized his shirt design in a series of tweets, including here and here. Ooooooh. Yeah. I can see how he's not pleased. Notably the shirt was pulled shortly after being listed.

- WWE issued a statement regarding the controversy. More on this tomorrow as the issue continues to play out. Myles is putting himself in an unenviable position by speaking out here; I don't expect WWE to get behind pushing him in the near future. For whatever it's worth, he hasn't competed since September 21.

"Dangerous" Danny Davis is on the latest "Wrestling with History" podcast.

Corey Graves asked for questions for "After The Bell." Talk about opening the floodgates. We'll see what makes it on air.

C.M. Punk discussed returning to WWE and more. Wow, yeah, that's definitely a major price tag.

Ali appeared at Dream Wave Wrestling in Illinois Saturday night.

Dynamite has added:
- AEW World Championship contract signing with Chris Jericho and Cody
- Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks vs. Kip Sabian and TheHybrid2
- Hangman Page vs. Sammy Guevara

MLW's first women's match will be Zeda Zhang vs. The Spider Lady. That's a clever reference to wrestling's past.

Raw has added Drew McIntyre vs. Ricochet.

JoJo is scheduled for Raw tonight, so her on-screen return is likely imminent.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. FOX and USA were absolutely consulted and had input into the draft picks. As for FOX and USA being more involved with creative, I don't know if that's a great idea since, by and large, they aren't "wrestling people." I could see them pushing for more nostalgia, guests, and silliness, which are the last things WWE needs more of.

2. I don't think WWE "has" to split them, but it could be good for Kofi and Big E to do some things on their own for a while.

3. Easy ones that come to mind are WrestleMania 3 and Bruno Sammartino losing the WWF Championship.

4. There have been a few instances of WWE talents having Pro Wrestling Tees merchandise, but it's definitely a rarity.

5. This isn't wrestling related, but it does make me question the XFL's chances of success.

More wrestling coming up.
