NJPW Lion's Break Project 3 has added, among others: Kenta, Taiji Ishimori, Amazing Red, TJP, Juice Robinson, David Finlay, Rocky Romero, and The Guerrillas of Destiny.

WWE is in negotiations with NBC streaming service Peacock about WWE content on the platform. This seems like the most likely option for WWE Network changes.

Vince McMahon's split from George A. Barrios and Michelle Wilson was over how much to invest in building new ventures for WWE, namely signing talent and planning further NXT brands. Vince wants to be ambitious in those areas, while the co-presidents wanted to use the TV rights revenue to maximize profits.

WWE is looking to sell PPV broadcast rights. That sounds like a sound direction.

WWE's November European tour averaged 4,100 fans, down from 6,900 in November 2018. Ouch.

Chris Jericho's cruise drew 2,100 fans.

AEW is considering a six-man tag team championship. That could be oversaturation, but it could also be a calling card for them in contrast to WWE.

La Parka will be inducted into the AAA Hall of Fame at TripleMania. That's well-deserved.

Rush is only taking AAA bookings in Mexico. I'm glad that's not affecting his ROH bookings.

NJPW is still considering a Madison Square Garden return in August. It's going to be a tall order to do well there if it comes to pass.

NJPW's Florida show drew more than 500 fans. The Georgia show drew roughly 850 fans. Those aren't strong numbers, so I hope NJPW considers changing their U.S. strategy.

Stardom is undergoing changes with Bushiroad in charge, with fewer signings after shows, merchandise being more expensive, no more free photos and autographs from talents, and changes in how shows are staged. Those moves are going to alienate the fans who got Stardom to where it is now.

wXw's CEO is leaving at the end of February as his vacation from the role becomes permanent. His co-CEO will take over, and the interim COO has been made permanent, while the art director has been promoted to creative director.

MLW is looking to set up a UK tour. That's a logical step.

MLW is working with Australia's NHPW, sending Tom Lawlor and Low Ki to work shows there. MLW is racking up international connections.

Dynamite drew 2,900 fans this week, the lowest crowd AEW has drawn outside of the Jericho cruise. Realistically there are going to be some markets that aren't huge for the company but they don't want to burn out running the same towns over and over.

Rusev is in a contract dispute with WWE, which explains why he hasn't been on TV lately.

El Hijo del Fantasma has had knee issues that have prevented him from debuting in NXT. He should be cleared soon.

Vince McMahon's WWE Network comments surprised a lot of WWE employees. There were key figures unaware negotiations were going on regarding the service's future.

- There are no current plans to shut the Network down entirely, and the "tiered" version of the Network continues to be in the works in case that's still the direction the service goes in.

The Big Show Show has finished production for its first season.

Alexa Bliss is the subject of a Bowling For Soup song. She's been a fan for a long time.

Adam Cole needed three staples due to a cut this week. He won't miss any ring time.

Tommaso Ciampa has some sort of ankle issue being looked at. He was checked on during NXT this week.

WWE's Ruthless Aggression series will have five episodes. After the first episode on February 16, each episode will be available on Monday mornings.

Roman Reigns' Disney series character debuts today.

Kenny Omega will be at WrestleCon for one day. They're going all out with the big names.

AEW is teaming with the American Heart Association in Atlanta ahead of Dynamite airing there. That's a good way to increase attendance and benefit the community at the same time.

ROH has confirmed signing Australia's Adam Brooks.

Free Enterprise's battle royal has announced Kenny King, 2 Guys 1 Tag, Tracy Williams, The Bouncers, PJ Black, Brian Johnson, Rhett Titus, and the Shinobi Shadow Squad.

NXT's Taynara reportedly walked out of the company a few weeks ago. She is still listed on WWE's roster and is said to still be under contract, so at this time she's seemingly just considered on hiatus.

Buddy Murphy is now being billed as just Murphy. I'm a little surprised he made it this far with both names! It is a little odd it's being changed out of the blue, though.

WWE 2K20 has added Southpaw Regional Wrestling themed content. Interesting additions!

Before Smackdown, Mustafa Ali beat Drew Gulak. At least he didn't end up like Heath and Apollo on the show this week; this hopefully means they're saving him for something more meaningful.

Extreme Rules 2020 is set for July 19 in California.

After Smackdown, Roman Reigns defeated King Corbin and The Fiend retained the Universal Championship against The Miz.

Samoa Joe is advertised as returning on Raw, teaming with Kevin Owens and the Viking Raiders against Seth Rollins, AOP, and Murphy.

At NXT's February 7 Arizona live event:
- Candice LeRae worked her first live event since December 15, teaming with Tegan Nox to defeat Dakota Kai and Jessi Kamea. This was Nox's first live event since November 9, and Kamea's first live event since December 15.
- Johnny Gargano worked his first live event since March 8(!), teaming with Tommaso Ciampa to defeat Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish.
- Scotty 2 Hotty did The Worm at the end of the show with Velveteen Dream.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. No. I don't think attendance is regularly high enough to consider that. It could dilute the brand. The current schedule is plenty, and having a second show launch should be enough for current demand.

2. Right now it was just a special appearance.

3. It's possible Vince was worried the news would leak if he told too many people. He wants to control when that information gets out, especially when it's something that major.

4. Frankly I don't think he's interested in wrestling again. It would be better to spend resources on other talents they could sign.

5. To sell MJF as an evil, evil man fans want to see Cody finally get revenge on.

More wrestling tomorrow.
