Buy before it happens:

WrestleMania 32 has been made available for pre-order on Amazon, 3 months before the event will even happen.

Vince caves:

Vince McMahon has reportedly been talked out of pushing for Brock Lesnar vs Braun Strowman at Mania, and is now ''Excited'' by the idea of Taker facing the newest member of the Wyatt Family instead. That means HHH will have gotten his way, and Lesnar will face the leader of the group, Bray Wyatt.

He's coming:

Shinsuke Nakamura flew out of Japan last night to start his WWE career in the States. When he arrived in America, he was met by Sho Funaki, who will help him adjust to life in a new country, as he has done with other big names that have come from the land of the rising sun, before him.

SmackDown SPOILERS!!!:

• Roman Reigns vs Rusev.
• Kalisto vs Kevin Owens.
• Erick Rowan vs Ryback.
• AJ Styles vs The Miz.
• New Day vs Social Outcasts.
• Alicia Fox vs Charlotte.
• Alberto Del Rio & Rusev vs Dean Ambrose & Roman Reigns.

Notes...

• Ryback debuted a new look. He has dropped his singlet, and is wearing plain black trunks.

Rotunda boys still absent:

Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas were allowed to miss last nights tapings, as well as Raw, as they continue to pay vigil at the bedside of HOF'er Blackjack Mulligan.

TNA:

Trevor Lee, guided by WWE Alum The Hurricane, has officially won the TNA X title.

Bret Hart talks cancer battle:

"I think just by being open and honest about it. Letting people know that I'm in the fight, and as I go through it, I'll show people just that. Hopefully in the near future I can prove to people that I will overcome this battle and be on the better side of it in six months or so. Hopefully, people will gain strength from that and use me as somebody they can look up to if someone in their family or themselves goes through it."

Madison Square Garden shared good wishes to the Hitman today, by having his picture on a billboard outside of the iconic arena.

Top star turns down Mania:

Batista was at SmackDown last night, and was approached by Vince McMahon with the offer of a WrestleMania 32 role. It is reported that he was asked to referee Triple H vs Roman Reigns, the planned main event, but refused the gig. He said he only wants to have one more run, and wants it to be his WrestleMania retirement angle vs HHH, wanting his return to mean something more than his previous run did.

Online beef shot down:

Matt Hardy took a shot at New Day on Twitter yesterday, but Big E. said it was childish to get involved in an inter-promotional slagging match on social media, and would not be drawn on Matt's dig. Matt then responded that he looked forward to meeting the team one day, ending the heat before it really started.

DivaMania:

Charlotte will defend the Diva's gold at WrestleMania, either in a triple threat vs Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks, or will face the winner of a match between the two proposed challengers at the big show.

Another record for HHH:

Triple H has confirmed he is now the oldest winner of the Royal Rumble match, despite being 7 years younger than Vince at the time of his 1999 win.

Orton art:

Randy Orton says he has been, and will continue, getting a new tattoo every week until he returns to WWE, meaning he will have many new pieces to show off when he does make his step back into the ring.
