Regarding rumors of Detroit hosting WrestleMania 35 in 2019, the Detroit Sports Commission, which would be in charge of such a bid, admitted they had made failed bids for 2017 and 2018, but claimed they did not submit a bid for 2019.

SPYWARE/POP-UP WARNING - https://www.pwinsider.com/article/11343 ... pdate.html
Mike Johnson wrote:PWInsider.com has confirmed that Rockstar Spud will be signing with WWE and will start with the company once all the proper visa paperwork has been completed. The plan is for Spud to be part of the 205 Live brand.

Spud, the first-ever winner of the company's British reality competition series British Bootcamp, had been used as a wrestler, personality and even ring announcer over the course of his run with the company from 2012 through 2017. He's an excellent, versatile performer.

The recent photo Dixie Carter put out on her social media with a number of current and former Impact company wrestlers and staff was actually from a farewell dinner for Spud, who we are told is heading back to Great Britain while his visa is finalized.

Observer:
the next Raw PPV isn’t until 2/25, which will be the Elimination Chamber show from the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas
Itami’s call-up for 205 Live is now expected imminently. It also should be noted that in Japan there is talk that Itami is interested in returning when his contract is up. As far as other call-ups, in the end, it’s Vince McMahon’s decision and they happen when they happen. Andrade Cien Almas was at one time on the list to come up in April, and here it is in November and they are still working on his character, and that’s been a good thing. The Authors of Pain were also on the list and haven’t been pushed as much in NXT of late, but it hasn’t happened yet

SPYWARE/POP-UP WARNING - https://www.pwinsider.com/article/11352 ... v.html?p=1

Spoiler: show
Former WWE Divas champion Paige will finally return to WWE programming this week, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Although there had been early plans for her to return on the Smackdown brand, PWInsider.com has learned that WWE will instead have her return to the Raw roster, where she had been originally drafted during the 2016 brand split but never actually appeared post-Draft.

The belief among several we have spoken with is that Paige will somehow end up on the Raw Women's team at the 11/19 Survivor Series in Houston, Texas, where she now resides. Bayley vs. Mickie James vs. Dana Brooke has been announced to fill the position of the fifth competitor of Team Raw this Monday for Raw in Atlanta. It's possible Paige is added to make it a four way or WWE runs some other sort of angle to have Paige replace one of the members of the team.

Paige has not competed for WWE since the summer of 2016, when she was suspended for the first of two infractions under the WWE Wellness Policy. Since that time, she has undergone neck surgery. In recent weeks, she has been working out at the WWE Performance Center in preparation for her return to WWE storylines.

Per Ticket Drew on the November 1, 2017 edition of the Wrestling Reality with Justin LaBar podcast:

Expect Undertaker to compete in the main event of Raw 25, probably against Kane. Also expect the show to be 4-5 hours since it's dual venue and that'll give each venue adequate content.

https://twitter.com/ticketdrew/status/9 ... 2802076674

When asked about the WM35 location scoop - "I wish some of these people would get a life on Twitter, and that's coming from a Mets fan. Wink wink... WrestleMania will be announced shortly, I'm sure, and I think everybody will be happy. You won't be disappointed, WWE always does it big... WWE's always doing bigger and better things." (Time stamp 44:30)

Should we assume this means NYC won the WM35 bid?
