Steve Austin's podcast is going on hiatus, with old episodes playing beginning next week.

Edge and Christian spoke to the writers of their WWE Network show on their latest podcast.

Chris Jericho's latest podcast features Rey Mysterio, Konnan, DDP, and others discussing Eddie Guerrero.

The next NXT will be a two-hour Year End Awards episode.

Charlotte Flair got press for work with Make-A-Wish.

Smackdown Live drew 1.90 million viewers for the taped Christmas Day episode. That's one of the rare times they've beaten the same week's Raw.

Impact is giving a free 2019 calendar to anyone ordering Homecoming via FITE. Impact's website is selling the calendar for $14.99, so that's a pretty decent get.

NXT's Kacy Catanzaro was at WWE's Madison Square Garden event, as she's from New Jersey. I think she's got a chance to be an important part of things down the line given her background and inherent likability.

MLW is expected to get an Australian TV deal in 2019. They're making moves!

Teddy Hart has signed with MLW. It's good to see him being successful.

Territory era star Bugsy McGraw is looking to release an autobiography in 2019.

Impact Wrestling drew 135,000 viewers for its second Best of 2018 episode. That's actually better than almost all the fresh content they've put in the new timeslot.

John Cena was not at this weekend's Raw taping. Instead he will be returning on the January 7 show. His plans really changed.

Taped for Monday's Raw:
- Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler in a Steel Cage match
- Ronda Rousey and Natalya vs. Nia Jax and Tamina
- Battle Royal to determine a challenger for Dean Ambrose
- Dean Ambrose vs. Battle Royal winner for WWE Intercontinental Championship
- Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Ember Moon vs. The Riott Squad
- Seth Rollins vs. Bobby Lashley

Raw's January 7 episode will feature:
- John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Paul Heyman appearing
- Alexa Bliss' new talk show "A Moment of Bliss" with Ronda Rousey
- Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs. The Revival for the Raw Tag Team Championship

Smackdown Live will air from Maryland on April 2. This was announced during a live event there this weekend.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. None. All indications are he's staying as a producer for the time being.

2. They will absolutely use her in some other capacity, and I expect she'll be on TV to tie in to her movie release. I wouldn't be shocked to see her as a commentator, but there's no indication of her role yet.

3. Of course! I hope that continues.

4. Yes. CHIKARA's a special breed, no?

5. No. WWE has just utilized him several times as a guest coach.

More wrestling tomorrow.
