Jon Moxley vs. Josh Barnett is set for GCW's Bloodsport III during WrestleMania weekend.

WWE is hiring a creative services talent coordinator for the WWE Performance Center. This person will be a liaison between WWE headquarters and NXT signings.

Tony Khan discussed AEW and more on The Dan Le Batard Show.

Nyla Rose is selling a new shirt to benefit Australian wildfire relief.

WWE has filed trademarks for the names Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Bobby Lashley, Mojo Rawley, AOP, Lio Rush, the Usos, and Kayden Carter.

MLW has signed a representation deal with ICM Partners. The goal is to expand MLW's television and streaming rights as well as create additional content. That could definitely lead to bigger things for the promotion.

- Deadline covered the announcement.

WrestleCon's Super Show has added Bandido and Shingo Takagi.

"WWE 24" focusing on WrestleMania 35 will air after Royal Rumble.

NXT uploaded a video with Nigel McGuinness, Kasaius Ohno, Roderick Strong, Johnny Gargano, Cesaro, and Jeremy Borash discussing Alex Shelley working in NXT. That's pretty cool. Glad he's getting such a welcome.

The Bella Twins are on Kevin Hart's web series.

EVOLVE is doing 50% off its January 17 seminar/tryout. Adam Cole will be on hand. That's a BIG opportunity for talents in the business.

The Miz will host USA Network's "Cannonball" reality series. WWE and NBCU are still very close.

Raw drew 2.03 million viewers this week. The NCAA championship football game drew 25 million viewers, drawing away part of the usual Raw audience. It's rough times for WWE retaining its audience.

The WWE Performance Center has announced the signings of:
- Mercedes Martinez
- Emily Andzulis, who won "The Titan Games." She has a background in Brazilian jiu jitsu and Taekwondo.
- Anthony Francis, who played defensive tackle for three different NFL teams
- Jake Atlas
- Sidney Bateman, who was part of Cirque du Soleil
- Zechariah Smith, who played basketball for Morgan State University

Triple H got heat for suggesting Paige has children she doesn't know about. Paige responded. That might have flown in a DX promo, but not from a top executive.

John Cena is set for The Late Late Show with James Corden Thursday.

Sgt. Slaughter was investigated for allegedly fictionalizing being in the Marines. Yikes! The key part of this is whether Slaughter was trying to remain in character. I can absolutely see how the situation would rub people the wrong way.

Triple H discussed Tyson Fury potentially returning to WWE. It looks like the next Saudi show might be out of the question given the timing of his next fight. We'll see how that affects things.

David Benoit spoke to Chris Van Vliet. I really don't expect him to get far as a wrestler using his father's name. Honestly his best bet might be working under a mask to build up experience before it's even an option.

NWA Hard Times has added Nick Aldis vs. Flip Gordon. It's unclear if this is a world title match. There's definitely an NWA/ROH relationship again, which is a positive for both sides.

R-Truth spoke to Sam Roberts about the 24/7 7/11 I-85 European TV Championship and more. He's had some really amazing longevity.

Elias has signed a multi-year contract extension. Ehh. He could probably use something fresh to do in that time.

NJPW's El Phantasmo has been added to Supercard of Honor. He is also part of Bullet Club. I'm curious what that group will do there.

NJPW will have a Lion's Break event as part of WrestleCon's Super Show. Hiroshi Tanahashi will join young lions on the card. That's a good way to have NJPW be part of the weekend without fighting for space with everyone else.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I did enjoy his work and think he had a pretty solid career. I can see how he would be controversial outside the ring.

2. Someone (the WWE board? Vince?) has to approve all the entrance spots, even in kayfabe. Brock's definitely in a position to demand whatever he wants, though.

3. Triple H signed him because of his Impact work. Vince seemingly doesn't see much in him in his second run in the company. Hopefully Bruce Prichard or someone will give him another look and get behind him.

Nothing to add to 4.

5. I don't think any of that was planned out in advance. I expected Demon Finn to come for revenge, for instance, and I truly think Seth was intended to stay babyface before fans turned on him for his online antics. It has worked out well, though!

More wrestling tomorrow.
