WWE live event notes, Crowe update, most recent TNA champ injured, where are they now?, HoFer set for Raw, and Questions on Joe and Storm on the main roster, Sheamus' title reign, cowardly heels, overusing MITB, and Maddox's release

Finn Balor beat Baron Corbin on a main roster live event this weekend. I wouldn't be shocked to see that as an NXT Title program in early 2016. It's also possible one or both of them will be debuting on the main roster in a few months. I could see Corbin entering the Rumble and Balor debuting the night after WM32. That's just speculation, though. There's no word on either of them being called up yet.

The former Solomon Crowe has returned to the indies as Sami Callihan. I think he'll be happier there. He was spinning his tires in NXT.

Matt Hardy needed 38 stitches after suffering a cut during an indie event this weekend. That's INSANE. I hope he's OK now. He could be a player for TNA in 2016.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.

GFW title change, Styles injured, and Questions on Sheamus as champ, WWE firing Gunn, GFW's status, AWA on the Network, and RoboCop

While their as-yet-unaired TV series declared their first champions, GFW had a title change hands at an indie event when Sonjay Dutt defeated PJ Black. It's possible Black is going to Lucha Underground and won't be able to fulfill any future GFW appearances for the time being, so they did a switch just in case. Still no update on GFW airing in the U.S..

AJ Styles was pulled off a NJPW show due to injury. It's unknown how serious of an injury it was and how much time he'll miss from here. Styles is currently scheduled to challenge Jay Lethal for the ROH Championship at Final Battle, so they're hoping he's able to work that date.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I definitely think we'll see a babyface (likely Reigns) take the title at WrestleMania, if not sooner. Sheamus as champ was just kind of the backup plan due to Rollins' injury.

2. I think there would have been heat on Gunn and on the company if there was any indication of him being shown favoritism considering the potential repercussions if a talent fails the wellness policy. I can sympathize with giving him another chance, but WWE really wanted to show that wasn't acceptable behavior for someone in his position.

3. Jarrett's in a tough position given the amount of responsibilities he directly oversees. He can't be in two places at once, so he had to choose what could potentially mean more for GFW in the future. GFW's still a thing for the time being.

4. I'm guessing AWA doesn't have as big of an audience as the stuff they're uploading beforehand. They're still in the process of digitizing old footage, and there are priorities of what gets put on the Network when.

5. I'm still sad we didn't get the new RoboCop during the HHH vs. Sting feud, especially after we got Terminators for HHH's entrance.

More wrestling tomorrow.

Superstars Reax - 11/27/15, NXT names on main roster, Interview with Backlund, and Questions on booking Owens, WWE pushing the Network, WWE working with WWNLive, talents being called up, and watching NWA TV

Superstars:
If he's not going to hang out with the creepy bunny anymore, there's not much reason to care about Rose. His character's going nowhere.

- Rose vs. Truth:
Good enough match so far.

Fine match for Superstars.

Kind of a mixed bag with that Miz promo. It's weird to think Ryder could be back in title contention. Maybe in GFW?

- Miz vs. Ryder:
This is going pretty well so far.

This match reminds me of the ECW brand days. I miss those; they were kind of a precursor to what's NXT now.

Good match overall.

Another TNA name retiring?, TNA officially moves India tour, territory family patriarch passes, and Questions on the Gooker, Foley stopping watching, Vince pushing Reigns (again), and War Games matches in WWE

Awesome Kong was recently announced as retiring. She has confirmed she'll no longer be wrestling in Japan, but remains under contract to TNA until January and intends to honor her commitments there. What she does after that contract ends is still up in the air. She's been one of the most successful stars TNA has ever featured, and was set for a big push in WWE. I hope she makes the right choice for her health and for her future career.

TNA sent out a press release confirming their tour of India has been moved to 2016. That was going to be a big deal for them. Hopefully they really turn things around next year after a lackluster 2015 on DA.

Territory era star Tommy Gilbert passed away at 75 on Thanksgiving morning. He was an absolute legend and will be missed.

Main Event and Smackdown Reax - 11/26/15

Read on for my thoughts on last night's Main Event and Smackdown.

More NWA on the Network, top NXT name advertised for main roster tour, Rollins update, NXT DVD to include dark match featuring C.M. Punk, more on WWEPC shooting incident, WWE release, NXT name arrested, TNA postpones India tour, TNA World Title tournament brackets set, and Questions on how to use Cena going forward, Sheamus at Survivor Series, "Bully Ray" in WWE, and pushing Reigns

WWE is regularly adding episodes from Jim Crockett Promotions' weekly TV series to the Network. These shows come from around the time of WrestleMania I through III. I imagine it took longer to digitize those old master tapes. The amount of content they have available to upload is astonishing.

Sami Zayn is advertised for next month's UK tour with the main roster. Whether he'll be wrestling remains to be seen. I really hope he's in the Rumble in 2016. It's time for him to make that next step once he recovers.

Seth Rollins has begun physical therapy following his surgery. I'm rooting for him to return and do great things in 2016.

Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
