Impact reunion in WWE, more on Spud coming to WWE, Interviews with Ellsworth/Impact execs/Natalya, WWE injury, see Terry Funk's office, status of LAW revival, new Impact faction, Impact taping at another indie show, Brock and Cena set for live event, WWE Network vintage footage notes, Raw name on vacation, more ROH matches set, Smackdown audience, another ROH show announced, Total Divas hype, another Ride Along trio set, and a Smackdown ticket deal

King Maxel Hardy met with the former Rockstar Spud at 205 Live in an Impact reunion. I mean, Maxel's under 205 pounds. Maybe Drake is recruiting?

- Dixie Carter put over WWE signing Drake.

James Ellsworth is on the most recent "Talk is Jericho." I miss him.

Epico recently underwent shoulder surgery. The Colons haven't been on TV since July, but had been working Smackdown live events pretty regularly. The team has really struggled to get momentum in recent years, but maybe things come together for them when Epico returns.

Terry Funk showed off his office. Pretty cool.

Live Audio Wrestling's return on Impact's Twitch channel has been postponed indefinitely if not dropped entirely with Jeremy Borash's departure. We'll see if it ends up coming back in a different form.

Impact will see a new faction in the months to come, featuring the former Hakim Zane and former Tony Cage. I'm interested to see how they do. I really hope they're not Foreign Heel Group Number 577.

Impact will be taping Eddie Edwards' appearance in Rockstar Pro Wrestling.

Impact executives discussed the recent departures:
- Borash will not be easily replaced. Yes, someone will get a chance to step up, but no one with the experience and expertise in the company that he has.

- Impact does have some solid new and returning stars. They're giving 2018 their best shot. It's just a tough road ahead of them.

- EC3 got out of his contract a little early to go to WWE, but it was expected he was going to do so eventually.

- Lashley is now a free agent. We'll see what that means shortly.

Brock Lesnar and John Cena are set for Raw's March 3 live event in Illinois. That will be a big date for them.

WWE Network will likely add WCW Saturday Night episodes to the service in April. They're getting quite the variety of vintage content up.

- WWE Network is currently adding more episodes of World Class.

Curtis Axel is taking a vacation. It's unknown if he'll miss any time from the ring.

ROH has announced The Briscoes vs. Best Friends and Hangman Page vs. Christopher Daniels for their February 10 TV taping. Punishment Martinez vs. Flip Gordon will take place the night before at a live event.

Smackdown drew 2.51 million viewers this week, slightly down from last Tuesday.

ROH has announced a Florida show for April 27.

Natalya and Lana promoted "Total Divas" in New York.

The Balor Club will be together on Ride Along in the third season. Imagine if this show existed in the Southpaw Regional Wrestling days.

Natalya gave an interview on Ronda Rousey coming into WWE and more. I'd love a Ronda story on "Total Divas." Also, a Hart reality show would be absolutely insane.

Tuesday's Smackdown has a two-for-one ticket offer. That's not a great sign for attendance.

More wrestling tomorrow.
