//->> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITOR
Colin Vassallo -[mailto:editor@...]-

Over the past two days I read some mean and nasty messages about Simone Johnson's look and Nyla Rose winning the women's title. Some keyboard warriors can be pretty cruel. People need to chill. Stop being a bully.

SUPER SHOWDOWN TO TAKE PLACE AT A DIFFERENT VENUE
- The Super ShowDown pay-per-view from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will take place from the Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard this time around, moving away form the King Abdullah International Stadium. It will be interesting to see how WWE sets up for this event considering the venue is pretty much similar to the Daily's Place which AEW uses in Jacksonville but on a very much larger scale. This is the fifth WWE event in the country and the first one that will not be held either at the King Abdullah International Stadium or at the King Fahd International Stadium. Tickets for the February 27 show have finally gone on sale with tickets starting at the equivalent of $6 going up to $200 for VIP or $530 for platinum.


SIMONE JOHNSON GIVES HER FIRST SIT-DOWN WWE INTERVIEW
- Simone Johnson, the daughter of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, held her first sit-down interview for WWE, hosted by Cathy Kelley. Johnson said it was her grandmother who actually got her into professional wrestling as she used to show her old WWE home videos, from the 80s to the Attitude Era, and all the way to now. She said she loved wrestling for as long as she can remember and feels like a 10-year-old kid again. Simone noted that the first time she saw her father wrestle live was at WrestleMania 28 when she was just 10 years old and got in the ring the first time the next year prior to WrestleMania 29. She said that her parents have been very supportive of her being in the wrestling business and revealed that The Rock actually went down to the WWE Performance Center for a day to see the culture of the WWE PC and held a training session with all the students. Asked about the pressure of being the first-ever fourth generation Superstar, Simone said, "I do feel pressure, but I know tha
t at the end of the day it's something that it was always going to be there so I know it's up to me to take that pressure and use it to motivate myself." She said that the Performance Center is great because everyone gets to learn from some of the best coaches in the world as well as learn from each other and while wrestling is an individual sport, at the PC everyone is a team and everyone is so driven to be a success. While training full time at the PC, Simone is also continuing her education so will be juggling both training and school work at the same time. She said her parents always wanted her to go to college and she always knew that she had to figure out a way to make it work and make them proud. Simone is learning entertainment management, which is a great topic considering the industry she is in! You can watch the full interview at .


WWE BACKSTAGE RATING
- WWE Backstage on FS1 did the best number since the November 19 episode, getting a total of 169,000 viewers, up 72,000 viewers from last week's broadcast. The show had Charlotte Flair as the special guest and CM Punk was back on the panel as well. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)


NYLA ROSE WINS AEW WOMEN'S TITLE
- There's a new AEW Women's champion in town and her name is Nyla Rose. Rose defeated Riho with a powerbomb on last night's Dynamite to get her first title win in the promotion. It was Nyla Rose who Riho defeated on the October 2 episode of Dynamite to become the inaugural AEW Women's champion. The Japanese star lasted just over 130 days as champion. Rose, 37, becomes the first openly transgender wrestling champion in any major promotion. The Washington DC-native has been with AEW since the very beginning.
