Takeover: In Your House has added Adam Cole vs. Velveteen Dream for the NXT Championship. If Dream loses, he can't challenge for the remainder of Cole's title reign.

NXT has announced:
- Drake Maverick vs. El Hijo del Fantasma for the interim NXT Cruiserweight Championship.
- Candice LeRae vs. Mia Yim

Robert Stone was "fired" by Chelsea Green after NXT. We'll see what the future holds for both.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I do think it's an odd fit for Dark Order and ultimately not the best direction for him. I'd like to see him shift gears.

2. Cornette crossed the line of rational discourse a LONG time ago, but has enough supporters to keep doing what he does. It's unfortunate, but I don't see any way he stops. There's really no one left to fire him.

3. It has become a regular part of the PPV rotation, and I expect that to continue.

4. I can see why they would have reduced the price, but they held firm.

5. It's WAY too soon to know that. If WWE did drop live events it would of course mean fewer dates and bonuses for the wrestlers.

More wrestling tomorrow.
