-- Main Event:
- Goldust vs. Hawkins:
Hawkins enters this match on a 158-match losing streak. But anything can happen in the WWE!!!
Ha. Vintage Goldust here.
That's not the right attitude to get out of this slump, Curt!
Funny inside cradle spot.
Not bad work here.
Fine enough. Maybe next time, Hawkins!
- TJP/Gallagher vs. Kalisto/Metalik:
Impressive flying.
Good enough start.
Kalisto and Gran work together pretty well.
Fine match to fill time, since they're not going to have Curt lose twice in one show, I guess.
Roderick Strong vs. Tyler Bate on the next NXT TV is to determine the next challenger to the WWE UK Championship. Strong vs. Dunne could be a lot of fun; we've already seen him face Bate quite a bit.
WWE Network's Flashback Friday content this week will focus on football stars in wrestling. A smart tie-in to the Super Bowl.
WWE previewed tonight's WWE 24 special with footage featuring The Undertaker and The Bar.
Ric Flair discussed winning the 1992 Royal Rumble. I wonder what stars from 2018 will be interviewed in 26 years.
David Otunga is working as a producer in entertainment projects in addition to his WWE roles. He's doing pretty well for himself.
New Day and Alexa Bliss were in a clip from Disney XD's "Walk the Prank." This is already better than "Swerved."
Impact and NWA filmed content at House of Hardcore 37. Samoa Joe and Eric Young were visiting. It's worth noting Impact is doing a "House of Hardcore" match at the Redemption PPV featuring Dreamer. Presumably the two promotions will work together in some capacity for the time being.
MLB's Boston Red Sox will have a WWE Night on July 11. Interesting they announced it that far in advance. I wonder what will be set for the show.
The Undertaker and Michelle McCool are in Philadelphia, leading to speculation McCool will be in the women's Rumble. I'd definitely like to see that!
The Undertaker will appear with Kane on March 1 to promote Kane's mayoral campaign. That sounds amazing.
Roman Reigns surprised a Make-A-Wish recipient, informing him he'll be able to go to Wrestlemania 34. This was in conjunction with Jimmy's Famous Seafood, a popular destination for wrestlers coming through Baltimore.
JBL and Bruce Prichard discussed a potential XFL Network. I definitely expect there will be a big digital component of the new version of the league.
The Wells Fargo Center showed the construction of the stage for Takeover. That's really cool.
DDP discussed Ronda Rousey's crossover with WWE. I hope Conor McGregor follows for WM35.
Gabe Sapolsky was in the crowd for Takeover. That's not a huge surprise.
After Takeover went off the air, WWE officials helped Johnny Gargano walk to the back. He had a really big night, and was really made as a babyface.
WWE sold posters from Takeover:Philadelphia autographed by everyone competing on the show. That's pretty cool.
EC3 gave his first interview since joining NXT. So, they're not shying away from acknowledging his previous run in the company, but he's going to be working under his new name.
Brock Lesnar beat Kane in Maryland the night before Royal Rumble. Braun Strowman attacked both men after the match.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It comes down to how much gas the winner has in the tank. Sometimes the later entrants are there so they don't have a long, grueling bout to go through. Other times it's how long WWE thinks the crowd will be interested in a particular superstar wrestling. I definitely expect it to be someone in the 20s, but you never know.

2. I think in some cases it's a matter of the talent being able to finish selling shirts that have already been printed, but not being able to put out any new designs or further printings of current designs. Otherwise Pro Wrestling Tees would have a lot of shirts in the warehouse they can't unload. That's all speculation, though. I'm not 100% sure. It could also be a realization that it could be a while before they get official WWE shirts, so why not let them keep making some money on the outside? It's probably another incentive to sign.
3. I don't see him being a priority for them. I wouldn't rule out a Hall of Fame nod at some point, but I don't think we'll see him wrestle for them again.
4. I don't know what the relationship is like between the two sides right now. It could be that she's more than willing to live a life free of the spotlight now. She doesn't have any social media or website as Sable that I know of, so she might have left that part of her life behind.
Nothing to add to 5.
More wrestling tomorrow.
