Super Bowl press, GCW Japanese events note, New Day podcast note, more ROH matches, next Bump guests, MLW-NOAH update, MLW sells out, MLW visitors, Rocky Johnson biopic update, local name not on AEW tribute show, MLW-Dragon Gate update, ROH and Xplosion lose UK TV home, Santino looking at return, legend set for Smackdown, what happened after Raw, and Questions on Rowan's gimmick, AJ vs. Orton being dropped, Drew's booking, and Beth working with a laceration

Ric Flair and Daniel Bryan appeared in Super Bowl commercials.

Bray Wyatt teased a Super Bowl halftime match for next year. Somehow I don't think Sting will be down for that stipulation.

GCW's Japanese events are available on FITE.

New Day's latest podcast features a number of NFL players.

ROH Past vs. Present has added Doug Williams vs. Jonathan Gresham. That should really be solid.

- Jay Lethal vs. Xavier has also been made official. That's a great fit for the theme.

- John Walters will also be on the show in some fashion.

The Super Bowl winners were given a custom WWE Championship.

The Street Profits will be on The Bump this week.

MLW and Pro Wrestling NOAH are no longer working together. NOAH will continue to work with Impact. It sounds like it could be a case of NOAH choosing one or the other; the Dragon Gate relationship has been discussed since the fall.

MLW's February 1 event was a legitimate sellout. They're doing well!

- Boxer Eddie Chambers and members of the Anoa'i family were backstage.

Hiroshi Tanahashi has been added to WrestleCon. That's pretty cool.

Rocky Johnson's biopic continues to be planned.

Doug Gilbert will not be at Dynamite's tribute show.

ROH's 18th anniversary PPV has added Dragon Lee vs. Bandido for the TV Championship. That should be a good clash.

Dragon Gate's Ben K and Shun Skywalker will be working MLW soon. Jacob Fatu will work in Dragon Gate.

ROH's UK TV home has disappeared. The channel also aired Impact Xplosion.

Santino Marella is preparing to have stem cell treatments in order to potentially return to the ring (like his sister just did).

Goldberg will be on Smackdown this week, which will almost certainly mean a Super Showdown match. Smackdown could use an audience boost! I'm curious what the plan is for him in Saudi Arabia.

After Raw, Seth Rollins offered Ricochet a handshake. Rollins set up for Black Out, but Ricochet hit Recoil to close the taping.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It shows that Rowan is a big, bad dude, but he's no match for Brock Lesnar. There's also the mystery of what exactly is in the cage giving Rowan more of a character.

2. Well, AJ's injured, so he's out of the picture right now. Edge vs. Orton in what could be Edge's first singles match in nine years is absolutely a bigger match than another AJ-Orton match.

3. This is one of the only times I've seen someone praise WWE's booking. They definitely did a really good job putting Drew over, and I'm glad they went all in instead of having Roman win after Drew threw Brock out.

4. Nope. Drew's being built really strongly. That means he's got to pick up some momentum. Karl and Luke, like Rowan, can rebound if needed.

5. The Glamamom is very tough! I'm a little surprised they let her work through that, though.

More wrestling tomorrow.
