WWE HoFer on Dynamite, assorted wrestling press, Punk-WWE note, another Dynamite set, WWE honored by Sports Business Journal, Worlds Collide update, another AEW crossover, WWE VIP note, Raw dark match, and Questions on Punk expectations, AEW Omega vs. NJPW Omega, AEW's business model, NWA's Cornette culpability, and Cody's trademarks

Diamond Dallas Page will appear on Dynamite to present a diamond ring to the winner of MJF vs. Hangman Page. Now that stipulation makes sense. I'm sure we'll get MJF cutting a promo on him to set up MJF vs. Cody.

Victoria is on Lilian Garcia's latest podcast.

WWE wants C.M. Punk to appear on "Broken Skull Sessions." Be careful what you wish for; that could be explosive.

Expo Lucha 2020's wrestling event will air on IndependentWrestling.TV.

Dynamite on January 29 will come from Cleveland State University.

Alexa Bliss was backstage at Raw.

WWE was recognized by Sports Business Journal readers as the Entity Best at Producing Live Event Spectacles. That's a pleasant surprise given how attendance has been for a lot of events.

When Worlds Collide the day before Royal Rumble will feature NXT stars facing NXT UK stars. Notably 205 Live isn't advertised, though the brand was represented at the last such special.

Dynamite this week will feature a crossover with TNT's "Batweek" Batman movie marathon. I can only imagine what that will entail.

A Bruno Sammartino documentary will air in New York City and Los Angeles from Friday through Thursday. A larger release is planned.

WWE is advertising VIP packages at live events. Dean Ambrose and Ronda Rousey were included in the email blast, so I'm guessing it hasn't been updated in a while.

After Raw, The Fiend retained the Universal Championship against Drew McIntyre in a cage match.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Firstly, how many casual fans are watching Backstage? Secondly, I'm under the impression Punk was going to leave within a few months regardless, ideally after a WrestleMania main event to cap his career off. But anyway, I think there is some expectation of Punk appearing outside of Backstage among some fans, but if someone's in the know enough to be following Seth's Twitter challenge, they should know where things stand regarding Punk's status.

2. The impression I have is they're telling a long-term story of Omega being overconfident and full of himself and now needing to dig down deep to be that Kenny again. To be fair, if he was the centerpiece of the promotion while part of management, he would be heavily criticized for that direction.

3. The long-term goal is to get a better paying TV deal when this one comes due. They were an unknown entity when making this deal, and TNT only expected about 500,000 viewers a week, so they didn't invest much in it. If they can keep drawing above that range, it's hoped that they'll get rights fees in future years.

4. Yes, NWA dropped the ball. They knew what Cornette's reputation was and had already needed to edit other comments of his. Again, it's probably for the best this happened now instead of at Into the Fire or a bigger stage; it or a worse incident were likely given his history.

5. It absolutely opens the door for Cody someday splitting from the company and taking those trademarks with him. I'm not sure if Tony realizes that or he just doesn't care, but it's not out of the question given how Cody's vision differs from the other EVPs.

More wrestling tomorrow.
