The former Cameron has booked a starring role in a movie called Underdog, due out in 2018. I'm glad she's getting a career going outside of wrestling.
Ric Flair put out a holiday message. I'm glad he's in such a better place now.
New Day read "The Night Before Christmas" in true New Day fashion.
Torrie Wilson discussed the XFL potentially returning. Vince is taking a big chance there.
Sami Zayn did a special fundraiser for Christmas, matching donations for a mobile hospital in Syria. That's great for him to do.
WWE is advertising a five-way WWE Championship match for the March 11 Fastlane show. That's a long way off, so plenty of things could change by then, but it's interesting to see what they've got in mind. Randy Orton being advertised is particularly interesting given the story of him taking so much time off for Wrestlemania season; this could easily just be a placeholder match sent to advertise the show.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I wouldn't be surprised to see Shane turn on Bryan soon. I'm not sure what exactly it would set up given the limitations on Bryan getting physical, but it definitely looks like we're headed for a split between the two sides. WWE positioning Bryan as a massive face could be great news for the indies in late 2018! I think making him heel would backfire, and also help him get bookings post-WWE. WWE's got to be careful with what they do with Bryan these next nine months or so.
Nothing to add to 2.
3. I'm sure we'll still see some big names announced, but the show is six nights before Royal Rumble. They don't want the show to focus too much on nostalgia.
4. Vince is a determined person, and a very rich one, too. He's going to do his best to capitalize on the NFL's declining business.
5. They pretty blatantly determine what stories they're going to put together, and build toward those. Sometimes they play off real events, but sometimes they put things together just for the sake of the show.
More wrestling tomorrow.
