- Dave Meltzer noted on the most recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE is building towards putting the Raw Women’s Championship on Asuka before the Royal Rumble event later this month. This means that if she wins the title before then she will not be involved in the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match and Bliss would challenge her to a rematch at the event.
- Chris Jericho mentioned on the most recent episode of his podcast that his "Alpha Club" shirt at Hot Topic is outselling pretty much every major wrestling shirt they sell. He said his shirt tops The Bullet Club, Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes and all WWE shirts. Jericho is scheduled to face Kenny Omega at WrestleKingdom 12.
- Mojo Rawley tweeted the following on his WWE United States Title tournament match with Zack Ryder, which will likely take place on tonight's SmackDown Live:
First round of the U.S. Championship Tourney continues tomorrow on @WWE #SDLive. Bring your best @ZackRyder. Regardless, it won’t be enough. #LightsOut #KillerInstinct
