Podcast notes, AEW teases talent announcements, Rumble hype, new WWE album, NXT show promoted, new Network content, Impact corporate hires, Taker convention appearance set, Club trademarks, ROH additions, Reigns joins Rock movie, WWE casting reality show, Cena joining Netflix project, Taz talks comics, and Questions on Rumble travel problems, Swagger in Bellator, Dream leaving WWE, Tough Enough competitor in Impact or ROH, and Bellas in the Rumble

Jay White is on Chris Jericho's latest podcast.

Brandi Rhodes teased new AEW women's signings at the upcoming Double or Nothing party. That would be a good move to continue to build buzz.

Finn Balor is on Edge and Christian's latest podcast.

Royal Rumble AXXESS featured a Shane McMahon Q&A session.

Finn Balor talked to the New York Post. Interesting thoughts on The Demon.

Daniel Bryan spoke to the local ABC affiliate before Royal Rumble.

WWE has released a new theme song collection, Uncaged VII, on streaming platforms.

NXT's February 9 Massachusetts show was promoted.

WWE Chronicle with Paige will debut after Takeover: Phoenix.

Impact has two new corporate hires who will focus on sponsorships and ad deals. Shelley West and Christopher Ledwith have been hired by Anthem. That's good.

The Undertaker has been announced for a Texas convention appearance on March 23.

Daniel Bryan spoke to ESPN about concussions and more:
- It's great to see AJ vs. Bryan on this big of a stage.

- I like him not wanting to coast on past work.

- His promos have been AMAZING.

WWE recreated their 1991 Royal Rumble poster with current stars. That's really, really cool.

Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows have independently trademarked "Karl Anderson" and "Machine Gun" along with "Doc Gallows," respectively. That would allow them to use those names outside of WWE. Obviously they'd be on the radar for AEW.

ROH has added Zack Sabre, Jr. and Rocky Romero to their February 9 TV taping and February 10 HonorClub event. Good to see.

Ronda Rousey discussed her future and more. It's amazing to think she might be finishing up her on-screen life at 32, especially as good as she is.

Roman Reigns is joining The Rock in a "Fast & Furious" spinoff movie, with Reigns playing Rock's brother. That's big. I hope that bodes well for Reigns' future.

- Roman responded to joining the project. I'm glad he's doing well.

WWE is casting a reality series to find a future female superstar. I expect this to be in the line of "Total Divas" rather than, say, The Mae Young Classic. If it gets eyeballs on WWE TV, it's worth a shot.

John Cena is joining a Netflix project featuring Jason Bateman. His profile's really growing.

Taz discussed facing Marvel characters. Pretty interesting.

"The Edge and Christian Show" will debut a new episode after Raw.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It looks like everything's set.

2. I think he's got a decent shot given his age and background.

3. Not anytime soon! He's still part of NXT and making all planned appearances.

4. I don't see it. It doesn't look like she's wrestled since 2002. If either side wanted to make an offer, they could have done so a LONG time before now. There are other people who are more fitting prospects in 2019.

5. Given all the press they're doing for "Total Bellas," there's a chance it happens.

More wrestling tomorrow.
