Conor McGregor's agent is willing to entertain offers from WWE should any such offer come about. He's definitely someone to look to use at WM33. He's a heat MAGNET.
Tuesday's Smackdown drew 2.51 million, so they kept some of the boost from the 900th episode of Smackdown and presumably the fallout from Survivor Series. We'll see how having Taker around more often will affect things going forward.
Kentucky has repealed their rule regarding stopping wrestling matches due to bleeding with the goal of bringing more events to the state. WWE is already speaking to venues in the state regarding bringing televised events for the first time since 2010.
ROH Final Battle additions and changes:
- Colt Cabana vs. Dalton Castle
- Lio Rush/Jay White/KUSHIDA vs. The Kingdom for the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship
- Marty Scurll vs. Will Ospreay vs. Bobby Fish vs. Dragon Lee for the ROH Television Championship
- The Motor City Machine Guns and Donovan Dijak are also listed as appearing on the show, but no official matches have been announced for them yet.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's entirely possible that while people were interested in the fallout, they were content to find out via social media, watching the show at another time, etc. Seemingly the audience that did show an increase of interest is not the audience that sits down and watches Raw on TV as it airs.
2. We'll see. If Goldberg leads to more money from the Rumble and presumably WM33, maybe not. It's tough to really know since they can't go back in time and try a different option. I'd like to see someone like Nakamura or Joe get a win over Brock, but getting someone over as a big deal beyond the hardcore audience is a lot easier said than done.
More wrestling tomorrow.
