NJPW injury, assorted wrestling content notes, Smackdown audience, NXT matches, Interviews with Big E/Ric Flair/Bayley/Seth, and Questions on Jarrett vs. Anthem, Taz in AEW, Tessa's future, and the Colons

Juice Robinson has injured his right leg and will not be at the first NJPW Strong taping.

Batista will be on CBS' "The Talk" Monday.

Kurrgan is in Netflix's "The Umbrella Academy"

Rob Terry spoke to Lilian Garcia.

Smackdown drew 1.89 million viewers this week.

NXT has added:
- Keith Lee vs. Cameron Grimes in a non-title match
- Bronson Reed vs. Shane Thorne

Big E spoke to Yahoo. Note this piece is largely political but does include discussion of his singles run. 

Ric Flair discussed wanting to be part of Summerslam and more. Glad to see mutual respect with younger wrestlers.

Bayley spoke to Sports Illustrated before Smackdown. Great to see her and Sasha be rewarded for their talent and the positive words for NXT talents. 

Seth Rollins discussed turning heel and more.

Impact announced July was their most successful month ever for social media. Impressive!

LuFisto has announced an autobiography.

NHL honored Titus O'Neil locally for his charity work. Very glad to see it. 

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
Nothing to add to 1. 

2. Both sides are going to see if it's worth going through all they went through a second time. I'd absolutely rather see them forge some kind of settlement rather than drag this out even longer. 

3. I think he's been amazing. I'm glad to see him there.

4. I expect she's staying in Mexico for now. Once she's comfortable traveling again, WWE and AEW are both interested so it's a matter of where she thinks she'll get a better deal. 

5. Honestly I don't know that they're a big priority for anyone. I wouldn't be shocked to see them in Impact or ROH at some point, but I'd be surprised to see AEW pick them up. 

More wrestling tomorrow.
