More history coming:
The venue of this years Elimination Chamber, a Raw special, has teased the first female Elimination Chamber match will take place at this years event. This is not yet confirmed by WWE.
Next Vince:
Jim Ross says he believes Triple H will be the man that takes over the running of WWE after Vince stops, rather than one of his children...
"I have an opinion on where the company will go. I will say this — you know, Vince is very healthy. He still works out like a crazy man. He really takes care of himself. So, he ain't going anywhere soon. We don't want him to go anywhere soon. He's the rock that built that thing. He's the rudder in the water. It's an amazing company. I think that, if I'm guessing, and it's gonna strictly be a guess — that the money would be on, probably, Paul Levesque to be Vince's successor. I think Vince is kind of preparing him for that in a lot of ways. You always knew that he was different from the other guys because he was very studious, and very – under control. He didn't drink. No drugs. He looked to be a lifer early on, and he got a lot of that from being a fan all his life growing up in the northeast — New Hampshire. Then, getting trained by Killer Kowalski who was a great, old-school guy. So, I think he's probably the heir apparent. Stephanie is very involved and, you know, is really more of a face of WWE. She does a lot of charity work. And she's great at that. And you've got to have that in the world. I think Shane seems to be, apparently, content with being a TV character. I don't know where his role's gonna be going forward or what he wants it to be. But, I think that Paul Levesque is the one that seems to be earmarked to be the next guy, if and when Vince is not in that role."
NJPW:
Minoru Suzuki won the IC title last night in Sapporo.
Enzo getting Benoited:
WWE have removed Enzo Amore's image from their production trucks.
NXT special:
The pre Royal Rumble NXT special is happening tonight. All NXT titles are on the line.
Old boy worries about Rumble:
Brother Love says he is concerned this years event will not work...
"Having two Rumbles in one show concerns me a little bit because those are two long matches and they're the same type of match. It's kind of like having a night of cage matches or a night of the same gimmick matches. It can wear on you after a while, but I'm confident that they'll be able to make it different enough that people will enjoy it and pretty much be into everything that they do."
Rousey Rumbler?:
Ronda Rousey is posting pictures of herself in Colombia, she says that means she can't be in the Rumble match, but it is only a five hour flight to Philadelphia.
Another Alum rules herself out of Rumble:
Kaitlyn says WWE have not asked her to be in the Rumble match this weekend...
"I haven't got a call or anything. As far I know I'm not going to be there. But they've been known to call you 2 days before and that's what happened to me when I debuted on NXT. They called me on a Friday and told me I was going to debut on a Tuesday. So anything is possible in the world of professional wrestling."
Vince accused:
After the Benoiting of Enzo Amore over his rape accusation an online publication have re-reported an 11 year old accusation against Vince McMahon. An employee of a tanning store claims Vince showed her explicit and nude images of himself on his phone, followed her into a room, kissed and groped her, then waited outside her shop for her to get off work and followed her in his car. She ran into a pizzeria to ask for help, but the manager refused to call police. The woman later made a report herself but they could only find one witness, who shot down the ladies story and gushed over the gentleman (Vince).
Legends in town for Rumble:
Undertaker, Michelle McCool, Shawn Michales, Ethan Carter III, Ricochet and Candice LeRae have been spotted in Philadelphia today. There is also a convention in town with many other legends, including Sting, Billy Gunn, Vader and Scott Steiner advertised to appear.
Rockstar Spud also says he is in town.
