ROH contract updates, new Wrestlemania doc, Elimination Chamber preview, WWE names at Alberto/Paige party, E&C S2 in the works, Austin on Owens' stunner, new NXT and WWE dates, Omega on Rumble, and Questions on talents having creative freedom, the Bliss-James dynamic, Kurt working the indies, saving yourself in the Rumble, and matches spilling outside

Keith Lee is still advertised for an ROH event on February 3, so he could work that final date before joining WWNLive.

War Machine are still advertised for ROH events in February. To the best of my knowledge, they're still working without contracts and could be scouting offers from NJPW and WWE. A big point will be whether they'll be able to work as a team going forward.

WWE Network added a WWE 24 documentary about last year's Wrestlemania. For whatever it's worth, they're referring to it as "Wrestlemania Dallas." They've downplayed the numeral the past few years.

John Cena and AJ Styles have been announced as competing in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match on February 12. I expect them to be joined by Bray, Luke, Corbin, and Miz. They don't have a ton of options there.

Sin Cara, R-Truth, the Shining Stars, Apollo Crews, Kalisto, Natalya, and Naomi were all at Alberto El Patron and Paige's post-Rumble party. This wasn't an official WWE event or anything. I'm very interested to see if there will be any fallout for them attending.

Edge, Christian, and Tommy Dreamer are planning Season 2 of their WWE Network show. It was certainly a ride. How wild is it we did see Punk compete in UFC and Angle is going into the HoF despite their jokes about each?

Stone Cold responded to Kevin Owens pulling out a Stunner in his match. I think the point was Owens was attempting to do someone else's move but it wasn't as effective as THE Stone Cold Stunner perfected by Steve. At least Austin didn't throw a fit about someone "taking his move."

NXT has new dates from March 2 through March 4 in Ohio.

WWE will have Raw in the new Nassau Coliseum in New York on April 10.

Kenny Omega continued to make references to WWE opponents. He's doing a really good job building hype for himself. It's expected he'll stay with NJPW, but maybe for 2018 he'll be willing to make the jump.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It's a trust factor. If WWE knows someone like Cena will pretty much do what they want/need him to without needing every little thing scripted out, they'll let him go do his thing. If someone's not as proven as a top speaker, WWE plans things out pretty minutely for them.

2. I don't think so. I don't expect them to be best friends as much as Alexa is giving Mickie a chance to get back into the spotlight. I wouldn't assume it will go as long as the never ending JeriKO angle.

3. Indies know they can make money from Kurt wrestling and Kurt wants to keep wrestling, so he's let himself be booked by them. WWE will be more conscious of what they do - I don't see any way he does more than a few big matches if he gets into the ring at all.

4. Because the Royal Rumble is for a shot at headlining Wrestlemania. People fight that much harder to save themselves during what to many is their only chance to get into the title picture.

5. The story is the feud gets so heated it's more than just a match with a winner and loser; it's a big fight that spills out all over the place.

More wrestling tomorrow.
