BIG SNOWSTORM THREATENS RAW TONIGHT IN SALT LAKE CITY

- Tonight's Monday Night Raw live from Salt Lake City, Utah could be in jeopardy with a snowstorm warning that remains in effect until 4AM tomorrow. City and state officials have urged drivers to refrain from driving due to one of the most severe snowstorm to hit so far this winter. "We're recommending that if people have flexibility with their travel, that they stay off the roads as much as possible," said Utah Department of Transportation spokesman John Gleason. "Our primary focus is keeping everyone safe, and just having fewer people out on the roads during this major snowstorm, that's going to allow us to accomplish that goal." Most schools are also closed today and all state offices have a delayed opening. So far, WWE or arena officials have not addressed the status of the broadcast. Raw is scheduled to take place from the Vivint Smart Home Arena. It wouldn't be the first time that Raw is canceled due to a snowstorm. In January 2015, the Raw after the Royal Rumble from Hartford, Connecticut was canceled due to a massive snowstorm. WWE did a live broadcast from their corporate headquarters instead.

WALL STREET CONTINUES TO POUND ON WWE STOCKS

- Investors continued to lay the smackdown on WWE stocks as the company lost a further 4.5% of its price in the first couple hours of trading today. Since late last week, WWE shed a whopping 30% of its value in a bloodbath that shows no signs of stopping. Things will most likely get even worse later on in the week as WWE presents its Q4 and 2019 full year results. They already lowered the outlook and Vince McMahon will get to face investors during the conference call and this time he won't have his once-trusted co-Presidents with him. George Barrios and Michelle Wilson, two of the most powerful people in the WWE, were fired last week by the Board of Directors. The news sent the stock down 24% by the end of the week.

THE REVIVAL REQUEST THEIR RELEASE FROM WWE...AGAIN!

- Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder have once again asked for their release from WWE, a year after they had already asked for, and were denied, their freedom. It was in January 2019 when the duo, along with Mike and Maria Kanellis, requested to be let go but WWE shot down the request. Mike went on to request it again later in the year and it was also denied. Last month, Dawson and Wilder applied for a trademark for the name Shatter Machine, presumably the name of their tag team should they depart WWE. Their deal runs out this year and at this moment there are no intentions for the two to renew. Addressing the reaction from the fans when news broke that they have once again requested to be let go, Dawson wrote, "If we settle, you guys say we’re lazy & complacent. If we try to be better, you guys say we’re whining & complaining. Make up your mind.”

RYBACK WANTS HIS NAME BACK AND PLEADS WITH WWE TO SURRENDER TRADEMARK

- In a tweet sent on Saturday, former WWE Superstar Ryback pleaded publicly to Vince McMahon and Triple H to abandon the Ryback trademark so he could move on with his career. "It wasn’t created by them and trying to make someone spend nearly 200K to keep their legal name and brand is petty and unnecessary. Please move on and erase me from your history and programming," he said. Ryback legally changed his name to his wrestling persona from his birth name Ryan and has applied for the trademark under his name of Ryback Reeves for "entertainment services, namely, wrestling exhibitions and performances by a professional wrestler and entertainer; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network." But the former star now doesn't want WWE to profit off of his name and if he is awarded the complete trademark, WWE would have to pay him to license it for any future projects. WWE has owned the trademark of the name Ryback since December 18, 2012 and it is a live trademark. The two parted ways in August 2016 after a few months before he decided to quit due to a contract dispute, citing lack of equal pay for talent and creative frustration as primary reasons for his departure. He used the name The Big Guy when he performed on independent shows.

AEW PURCHASES FULL-PAGE AD FOR DYNAMITE IN SUPER BOWL PROGRAM

- All Elite Wrestling bought a full-page ad in the Super Bowl LIV program to promote Dynamite on TNT. The ad features a collection of AEW wrestlers including Jericho, Cody, Moxley, Young Bucks, Omega, MJF, Dustin Rhodes, Awesome Kong, Nyla Rose, and a few others along with the AEW Dynamite and TNT logos. While still relatively new, AEW had their own fair share of great marketing spots with billboards in New York, Las Vegas, and other prominent cities. This is the first wrestling-related advert to be somewhat part of the Super Bowl ever since WWE purchased the very-expensive 30-second commercial in 1999.
