WOS has announced international TV distribution, specifically India, Africa, and Poland. A U.S. announcement is believed to be coming soon. There remains no confirmation of a second season ahead of upcoming live events.

Rusev vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship is set for Royal Rumble 2019.

Andrade "Cien" Almas will now just be known as Andrade. I can understand thinking his name was too long, but that's just silly.

Shane Helms' podcast has returned on Hipcast.

WWE stock was praised by Motley Fool.

Charlotte Flair spoke to Sky Sports. She could definitely be a top name at WrestleMania.

Chris Jericho's latest podcast discusses joining AEW and more. Notably, he claims Impact Wrestling and WWE both made offers to sign him in recent months.

NXT UK did end up airing a new episode yesterday, after originally one wasn't listed as scheduled.

Smackdown Live's April 9 TV taping is advertising:
- Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship
- The Bar vs. Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship
-- As always, plans can change between now and then, especially with this show following WrestleMania.

Impact is set to return to Ontario in April, likely for their next PPV.

Impact is looking to run Pennsylvania and Illinois in 2019.

Sonjay Dutt will be inducted into the CZW Hall of Fame on February 2.

The Impact World Championship will be defended in Alpha-1 Wrestling in Ontario on February 3 as Johnny Impact faces MJF and Ethan Page in a triple threat match.

The Bludgeon Brothers have been cleared to return to the ring. They could be back as soon as this weekend's live events. I can't help but think they'll face Shane McMahon and The Miz.

ROH showed their new faction, Lifeblood. Juice Robinson will lead the group, with Bandido, Mark Haskins, Tracy Williams, David Finlay, and Tenille Dashwood filling it out. I can't help but think ROH threw them all together as the easiest way to incorporate them into storylines. I'm excited to see new names, but that just feels lazy.

Finn Balor and Sasha Banks have been pulled from the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches due to challenging for championships on that show.

WWE Network completed its "Match of the Year" compilation for 2018, and added a lot of short form content from their YouTube page.

Kofi Kingston discussed his former Jamaican character and more. New Day would have gone down a VERY different path without the silly turn it took.

Yahoo! Finance covered Mixed Match Challenge's success. Pretty fascinating.

NXT UK's Wolfgang is working ICW's February 24 event. Good to see WWE helping out the promotion that produced him.

MLW Fusion will be live February 2 for a one-hour special. MLW and BeIN Sports are really working well together. That's often key for a show's success.

Billy Corgan and Nick Aldis discussed the Crockett Cup returning. Hopefully that's a success for NWA.

Brock Lesnar trained Minnesota amateur wrestlers. That's pretty cool!

ROH's January 24 event has added:
- PCO and Brody King vs. TK O'Ryan and Vinny Marseglia in Tag Wars Round One
- Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham vs. Mark Haskins and Tracy Williams in Tag Wars Round One
- Matt Taven vs. Rocky Romero
- Bandido vs. Silas Young
- Marty Scurll vs. Rhett Titus
- Madison Rayne vs. Holidead
- The Briscoes and Shane Taylor vs. Dalton Castle and The Boys

Smackdown Live drew 2.14 million viewers Tuesday night.

Stephanie McMahon will be on Facebook's first U.S. podcast. Her profile continues to grow in the business world.

Bruno Sammartino's autobiography will be re-released with new material reflecting his passing and legacy. Good to see the legend honored.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. There will be one women's tag team championship across Raw and Smackdown Live, in reflection of the size of the women's roster compared to the men's roster. Not everything's about "special treatment."

2. Absolutely! They were pushing hard to sign him, and he could have been a focal point of 205 Live if he signed. Zack Sabre, Jr. could similarly have been in that spot if he signed a deal.

3. Some of it was Braun not being cleared to get physical with Brock. As such, they weren't going to be able to actually confront each other. I think it did hurt Braun to be used like that.

4. Truth should absolutely be honored for that milestone. It definitely was "the" NWA Championship, although obviously that didn't mean as much in 2002 as it did in 1982. Truth can definitely be more than a comedy character, but it's probably easier for his body for him to do dance breaks!

5. Wrestling can certainly have matches that look like real contests/fights if things are built and worked in that manner, but if fans want 37 superkicks, the Bucks are wise to cash those checks!

More wrestling tomorrow.
