Post-Smackdown dark match, ROH action figures available, another confirmed WWE return, superstars contacted to return to WWE, Smackdown audience, Interview with Kane, and Questions on Lashley in WWE, Snuka suing WWE, drafting Seth before Dean, Vince running Smackdown, and people who won't go into the HoF anytime soon

After Smackdown ended, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose beat Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt. I wouldn't expect mixed-brand dark matches to be a permanent thing.

ROH's first action figures are now available through the Wrestling Superstore. So, you can now have a Kevin Steen action figure AND a Kevin Owens action figure.

Jinder Mahal will soon be returning to Raw after signing a new deal. I was hoping he'd be paired with Heath Slater on Smackdown, but maybe we'll get him as the fourth Outcast. He's almost definitely just there to fill space and take losses, but it's better for it to be him in that role than someone with a bigger following.

- WWE has also contacted Melina, MVP, Carlito, and Tommy Dreamer about returning. Stevie Richards is being considered for a WWE return as well. It would all be a matter of how they'd be uses and if they're worth any potential drama/ego in the case of the first three names.   

Smackdown's audience Tuesday was 2.74 million. That's in line with what they were doing in January upon coming to USA Network. Hopefully numbers are strong going forward and they're able to build the roster well.

Kane talked to a local magazine:

- The idea of Kane the character selling insurance and running for office is amazing. WWE needs to make some vignettes of that.

- Kane reading classic English literature in-character sounds amazing, too.

- There's a lot of political stuff there that's beyond the scope of a wrestling blog.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I know currently Lashley still wants to do MMA. He couldn't do that working in WWE - he doesn't have the pull Lesnar does.

2. The lawsuit's been brought about on his behalf. The argument would be he's unable to stand trial because of the injuries sustained due to working for WWE.

3. Ummm. Ambrose was defending the title later that night. Stephanie was betting on Rollins winning and bringing the title to Raw.

4. I would imagine so. He trusts his instincts with live TV more than others' and would want control over as much as possible.

5. I see very little chance of them being inducted while the lawsuit is ongoing. After that, it's possible WWE reconciles with some of them if the two sides really want an induction to happen.

More wrestling tomorrow.
