Royal Rumble:

Here is my recap of last nights Royal Rumble PPV, including results.

Notes...

• WWE chose not to utilise cameo appearances from legends this year, as they felt, with the belt on the line, it would not make sense for a one shot returnee to take a spot from a current star.
• AJ Styles was an exception to that rule, WWE did debut the TNA icon in the title match.
• Royal Rumble creator Pat Patterson was backstage.
• Sasha Banks returned to challenge Charlotte for her title.
• TNA sent a tweet of congratulations to AJ for his debut, as did ROH.

Angle nixed:

Stardust and Stephen Amell did not get chance to film a confrontation at a comic con, as the winter storm in New York caused it to be cancelled.

Styles talks debut:

AJ Styles gave WWE a pre debut exclusive interview...

"Everything's going through my mind right now. What's it going to be like? How are they going to respond to me? How is the WWE Universe gonna respond to AJ Styles? That's all going through my head and a number of other things. But I'm glad to be here."

He also teased how long he has signed for, telling a backstage reporter he had a ''Couple more years'' to get a better Royal Rumble result than he managed this time.

WWE released a T-Shirt marking his debut, which has already sold out.

Raw tease:

• Time to play The Game with the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
• What will be AJ Styles' next move?.
• How will Kalisto keep his incredible momentum going and how will The League of Nations get revenge?.
• Is Sasha Banks our next Divas Champion?.
• Now that The Wyatt Family has beaten Brock Lesnar for the time being, who is next?.

Hulk Hogan:

Hulk Hogan has signed up as the face of a loan company, he will tape a series of TV ads this week.

NJPW star quits:

Shinsuke Nakamura has officially announced his departure from NJPW. He is on his way to WWE.

Eden to try again:

Eden has revealed WWE refused to change her ring name when Dusty Rhodes died, she wanted to change her surname from Styles to Rhodes. She says now AJ is on the WWE books, she is planning on going back to the office, for a second go at getting her father in laws name.

TNA:

TNA have locked The Wolves into exclusive contracts, ending speculation that they may be WWE bound later in the year.

WWE business:

WWE have sealed a deal with Boys & Girls Club Of America, and The Rock has inked a deal with Under Armour, a clothing brand.

Gimmick over:

Stardust has tweeted that his time portraying the role is coming to an end, meaning Cody Rhodes may be coming back.

Major return:

A ''Major'' star is set to return to WWE tonight on Raw. The star is coming back for a WrestleMania angle.

SPOILER!!!

The Rock is reportedly that major star.

Career over?:

Nikki Bella has revealed she needs to undergo a potentially career ending surgery on her ''Broken'' neck. The surgery will be on Wednesday, and she won't know the extent of the problem until her surgeon starts her op. This could end the career of the longest reigning Diva's champ in history, and may leave her sister Brie with a decision to make on her future.

She went on to say that whatever the outcome, WWE would not be seeing the last of her, and she would move into a different phase of her career.
