-- Main Event:
- Bayley vs. Deville:
- Bayley's got to keep her eyes on the other Absolution members here.

I'm enjoying Sonya's style.

Solid work so far.

Bayley's experience is showing with being able to counter Sonya's offense.

I'm liking this!

This is kind of a lumberjack match in a way, huh?

Not a bad ending! Good to see something different on this show. As much as I love Hawkins, it's good to have some other workers compete here.
 
- TJP/Ariya/Gallagher vs. Metalik/Lince/Kalisto:
I think I could never watch another cruiser match and be OK with that. I'd much rather see some of the people from both brands we don't see wrestle on TV much.

I do like teaming the lucha guys up.

Lots of smooth work from the faces.

Nice offense.

Fine ending sequence.

- No Hawkins:
Oh come on! Hawkins = Ratings! We want to see The Streak! 

Matt Hardy now has ownership for "Broken Matt," "Brother Nero," "Broken Brilliance," and "Vanguard-1" after Anthem legally signed those trademarks over. I'm glad that fight is over.

All Japan Pro Wrestling is launching their own subscription streaming service on March 3. The cost is around $8.00 a month. I hope that's a success for them.

NXT this week will feature Adam Cole vs. Killian Dain and The Undisputed Era's Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly. defending the NXT Tag Team Championship against Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe of SAnitY. That should be good!

WWE Network's "Flashback Friday" this week will focus on WWE weddings. Oh boy! There will also be a special called "WWE's Crazy Stupid Love Show" hosted by Renee Young. Should be interesting.

Conor McGregor talked about Ronda Rousey's WWE debut. I hope we see him there at some point.

Eric Bischoff, Bruce Prichard, and JBL spoke with Sam Roberts. Hopefully that's three future Hall of Famers talking there.

Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt in an Elimination Chamber qualification match is set for Raw. I think we know which one of those names is getting a bigger spot at Wrestlemania.

Seth Rollins fired back at reports of him working hurt. Some reports say he is, and some say he isn't. I guess we'll see if it becomes an issue.

Jeremy Borash and Corey Graves were backstage at NXT's tapings this week. That's pretty quick turnaround for Borash.

EVOLVE's Austin Theory and Jarek 1:20 will be part of the next WWE Performance Center tryout on February 8, along with former UFC fighter Matt Van Buren. Independent wrestlers Alexia Nicole and Nickolaus Barnes have also been confirmed. I'm sure there will be plenty more, too.

ROH announced details for their streaming service. It's going to be tough to be the same price as the WWE Network, but that's more a sign of WWE being able to afford to offer so much so cheaply.

WWE celebrated hitting 10 million Twitter followers. That's impressive! They really push that aspect of the company.

WWE showed behind-the-scenes footage from their 1999 Super Bowl commercial. That was classic. I loved it, and it looked like a lot of fun to make. I'm curious what a 2018 version would look like.

Candace LeRae worked her first NXT live event on February 3, teaming with Johnny Gargano to defeat Andrade Almas and Zelina Vega in the main event. That was Vega's first live event match for the brand, too. We'll see if she ends up in action more.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Give her the belt, brother. Charlymania's running wild, dude. I do think WWE has had some pretty good signings in the interviewer/analyst/whatever we're calling it role in the past few years. There was a feeling for a long time that they could just give any pretty girl a microphone and they're a ring announcer/interviewer. I'm glad they have some knowledgeable hires now.

2. Honestly, she's probably best at the role she has right now. She's shown herself to be pretty invaluable with all they've given her, and she should focus on those duties. I would like to see WWE training some female commentators, though, and referees for that matter. 

3. I really wish they would have pulled the trigger on Braun beating Brock one-on-one. I know they really want Roman to have a big coronation at WM34, and that makes sense, but I think they missed an opportunity to elevate Strowman. Heck, they could have built to a triple threat at Mania that Roman could have walked away from as champion. I know people often fault them for not having long-term plans, but sometimes they need to be flexible with those plans when someone catches fire.

4. I'd expect them to promote from within if possible as a money-saving move. It'd also be a lot easier to schedule

5. Yes, but it's expected he'll be staying in WWE in some capacity. He might do more in UFC, but I doubt he'll leave wrestling behind entirely given the great deal he's got.

6. I expect she's going to focus on her training work in Minnesota. Other than appearing for something like "Table for 3" or a Hall of Fame induction, I don't see her doing much with WWE unless they need her again for Rumble 2019.

More wrestling tomorrow.
