Former WCW/TNA name getting surgery, UK dark match before Takeover, NXT preview, Interview with HHH, WWE accounts hacked, Flair passes the torch to Cena, Sasha signing attendance, Conor at WM33?, Hardys on tour again, and Questions on insiders betting on WWE events, Heyman's advocacy, why WWE trusts Cena, Snuka's legacy, and the WWE-Trump connection

Daffney is undergoing neck fusion surgery this week to deal with pain from her wrestling career. I hope that leaves her in a more comfortable place as she continues moving into life after wrestling.

UK tournament competitor Wolfgang defeated Aaron Solo in a dark match before Takeover. I wouldn't be surprised to see UK names work NXT TV for a bit while WWE works out plans for a weekly series across the pond. It's going to take some time to get that all situated.

Wednesday's NXT will feature:
- No Way Jose vs. Elias Samson
- Ember Moon vs. Aliyah
- Tyler Bate vs. Oney Lorcan
-- So, Bate was pulled from a UK booking in order to compete on a special episode of NXT.

Triple H talked after Takeover. He's proud of his baby!

WWE social media accounts were hacked this weekend. Thankfully it didn't have a big adverse affect on things; that situation could have ended up a LOT worse if the hackers were more nefarious.

Ric Flair was at Royal Rumble to honor John Cena. He was originally set to strap Cena's 16th championship around his waist in front of the live crowd during the broadcast, but a decision was made to put the segment on WWE's social media accounts instead. I think that could have backfired live, although most fans seem to have come around on Cena.

Sasha Banks' signing before the Royal Rumble drew more than 1,500 fans. I can see those fans being upset at how she was booked at the show, although I think it made sense for the dominant heel to beat the injured former champ. The goal was to get sympathy for Sasha while establishing how destructive Nia can be.

Conor McGregor recently stated he's in negotiations to appear at Wrestlemania. As always, take what he's saying with a grain of salt. I'd like to see it, though.

The Hardys competed at another indie promotion in North Carolina as they continue their quest for gold all over the world. Footage will air on an upcoming episode of Impact Wrestling.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. There definitely seems to be inside knowledge slipping out and affecting betting odds. I know Vince isn't a big fan of leaks, so he probably wouldn't take too kindly to finding out who it is.

2. Heyman keeps kayfabe during appearances booked/broadcast by WWE. I suppose in order to keep hype up for what he's involved in - if more people watch a show because of him, it means WWE will keep paying for his services!

3. His promo skills and how he presents himself as the face of the company definitely made him matter more than just being able to put on good matches. Both work in his favor, as the company can count on him to do what they want him to do.

4. Certainly the whole thing is very murky, and Snuka wasn't cleared of those charges. The public perception is still to a degree of him as a murderer regardless of what did and didn't go down in court.

5. As a company, they haven't endorsed Trump or (surprisingly) even mentioned him since his political aspirations began in earnest. To them, there's still that line of separation between their executives' personal political beliefs and the company itself/its programming taking a stance on political issues. They don't want to alienate Trump voters nor Trump detractors, so they're officially staying neutral.

More wrestling tomorrow.
