SPOILER: show
Rumor going around the net is Carmella might end up cashing in her MitB case during next week's episode of Smackdown. The rumor teases if she does, it opens the door for Charlotte-Ronda at Mania and if she doesn't, it means the match isn't happening at Mania.

Source of the rumor has been sketchy recently though.

Spoiler tag used since its related to possible upcoming Smackdown and Mania plans.

This was also the third straight week, and fourth in the last five, that SmackDown ratings were down year-over-year.

WrestleCon announced last Friday that Omega would be appearing at their SuperShow on April 5th. They didn't reveal Omega's match then, but it was confirmed today that Omega & Kota Ibushi would be teaming against Best Friends (Trent Barreta & Chuck Taylor) at the show.

Big E tweeted about the significance of The New Day wearing kente cloth this month: “Yes, we’re wearing kente because it’s Black Panther season & Black History Month. No, you should not come for us because you think we’re being divisive & schismatic. Yes, we’re going to take some time to acknowledge our dreads, our Afro puffs, and our chocolatey skin.”

In court documents filed in Ford’s lawsuit against John Cena, Cena claimed that there was nothing in the contract he signed that prevented him from selling a rare Ford GT he bought within 24 months after the sale. Ford alleges that Cena profited off of the car and wasn’t allowed to sell it within two years after being selected in the application process.

Titus O’Neil tweeted that he’s in the process of writing a book.

There's been talk of late that former ECW live events booker Greg Bagarozy could be coming in to help book venues for Impact. We are told that Impact Wrestling Director Michael Vedder has suggested Bagarozy for the role. A lot of people have been praising Vedder's work since he came back in to the company.

We have gotten a few questions on how the NWA is able to use TNA/Impact footage on their videos. There is some sort of working relationships between the two sides stemming out of Anthem's settlement with Billy Corgan last year. The two sides have mad multiple meetings about how Anthem and the NWA can work together, but Corgan has had those discussions with lots of other companies as well.

Fraley had sued TNA Entertainment, LLC so it does not appear that current owner Anthem Sports and Entertainment was on hook for the judgment. Fraley International, which handles importation of merchandise from overseas, had sued over money owed from shipments of TNA merchandise being brought to the United States after they were produced in the Far East. In Aprill 2017, attorneys representing Impact in the case withdrew as their representation and after receiving permission from the Chancery Court in Nashville to allow them to do so, citing lack of payment. From that point on, Impact never responded or appeared in court during the proceedings, making the case pretty easy for Fraley to win. There's no word what Fraley won or whether they ever actually collected the judgment.

What is interesting about that conference is that on 12/28, Judge Yeakel signed an order referring the WWNLive motion claiming that the lawsuit against them should not be heard in Texas for lack of jurisdiction to another Judge, Andrew W. Austin. Judge Austin has not, to the best of PWInsider.com's knowledge, issued a ruling on that matter.

Flosports filed a motion on 12/22/17 seeking to have WWNLive's previous request for the lawsuit the streaming provider brought against them shut down. Flosports' lawsuit, seeking $1 million in damages, revolves around allegations that WWN, run by Sal Hamaoui and Gabe Sapolsky, had "robbed Flosports" by provided false information that led to the streaming provider paying inflated prices for WWN content.

This could mean that there will be no new WWE Blu-ray copies produced. It has not been confirmed that they have ceased production on future WWE Blu-rays as the WDN report appears to only affect the back catalog of titles. WDN notes that there should be confirmation on the status of the WrestleMania 34 Blu-ray soon. WWE has releases a WrestleMania Blu-ray every year since WrestleMania 24.

Some other sheet news includes:
  • Rumor going around the net teases at WWE planning a potential Daniel Bryan match to happen at this year's SummerSlam event. If true, would confirm previous rumors about WWE wanting to medically clear Bryan before his contract expires to entice him to sign a new deal.
  • Recent episode of the Steve Austin Show podcast had Edge & Christian as the guests. https://www.podcastone.com/episode/Edge--Christian
  • Recent episode of Talk Is Jericho had Will Ospreay as the guest. https://omny.fm/shows/talk-is-jerich...-bea-priestley
  • According to PWI, Nigel McGuinness is currently dealing with an illness as the official reason for his lack of appearances recently on NXT.
  • As part of the lawsuit by Ford against Cena in regards to selling a sponsorship car without permission, Cena admitted he has been running out of money and needed to sell the car to pay some bills.
  • Fightful wrote a recent article in regards to the current mess caused by the Elgin situation at Powerbomb TV. https://twitter.com/FightfulOnline/s...22617000243201
