//->> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

It's great that France is getting another WWE PLE, this time in Paris. The Lyon crowd was the best crowd I've ever been a part of and still nothing beats it yet. I'm expecting Paris to show up and show out come August! We'll be there!

Paris La Défense Arena is the largest indoor venue in Europe and has hosted global artists including Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen.

REPORT: TRIPLE H TO HEADLINE 2025 WWE HALL OF FAME CEREMONY
- PWInsider.com is reporting that Paul "Triple H" Levesque will be the headliner of the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony after he was surprised earlier today with the news. The site reports that a town hall was held today at the WWE Headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut and Triple H was surprised by his wife Stephanie, The Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels with the announcement. "We are told Levesque was completely caught off guard and got very emotional," the site states, adding, "He also joked he was going to kill Nick Khan." Triple H is already a Hall of Famer as part of the DX faction along with Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and Chyna. They were inducted as a group in 2019. WWE has not made any official announcements yet regarding this year's Hall of Fame.


THREE TITLE MATCHES SET FOR NXT VENGEANCE DAY
- Three title matches were announced for the upcoming NXT Vengeance Day premium live event which will take place on Saturday, February 15 live from Washington, DC. The NXT Women's title will be defended in a triple threat match as champion Giulia puts the title on the line against two former NXT Women's champions - Roxanne Perez and Bayley. The NXT title will also be up for grabs in another triple threat match with Oba Femi defending against former WWE Tag Team champions Grayson Waller and Austin Theory. The two were on NXT last night causing havoc on The Grayson Waller Effect which had Femi as the guest. Also, NXT North American champion Fallon Henley will have a tough challenge in the form of Stephanie Vaquer. Henley defeated Shotzi to retain the title last night but was met with Vaquer at the top of the stage for a stare down, with the match announced immediately by Vic Joseph.


SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT RATING
- The second episode of Saturday Night's Main Event drew 1,494,000 viewers, down 96,000 viewers from the first episode in December. The show had a 0.33 rating in 18-49, down 0.09 from the previous episode and a number which has to be considered somewhat of a disappointment for network television. The NBA on ABC led the night with SNME placing #6 on the chart. The show was also simulcast on Peacock but those numbers are not available. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)


ROYAL RUMBLE SUPERSTORE OPENS TOMORROW
- The Royal Rumble Superstore opens tomorrow in Indianapolis as over 60,000 WWE fans will descent upon the city for this weekend's Rumble premium live event. The store will be located at the Indiana Convention Center at Exhibit Hall E where WWE will also do the meet and greets with a large portion of the roster over a period of a few days. It will host the largest collection of Royal Rumble merchandise including exclusive apparel, replica championship titles, signed memorabilia, collectibles, mini-titles and so much more. It opens at Noon until 7PM and then on Friday it will be open from 10AM to 11PM, Saturday from 9AM to 11PM, and Sunday from 10AM to 2PM. The Indianapolis Colts team store at Lucas Oil Stadium will also be transformed into the Royal Rumble Team Store and opens Thursday through Saturday.


NXT TEASER AIRS AT THE END OF BROADCAST
- NXT is running another mystery teaser, this time one which is set to be unveiled at the February 15 premium live event, Vengeance Day. After the WWE Women's Tag Team title match main event finished, the screen went to black and a test pattern graphic showed up with "WWE Transmission" on it. The text was then deleted to clicks of a keyboard and the words "Vengeance Day" were written instead. The lower left credits then rolled and the show faded to black. There are no hints at this point of what this could be leading to but at least we only have two weeks to speculate before we find out!


RAW VIEWERSHIP ON NETFLIX
- The January 20 episode of Raw on Netflix had a global audience of 3,000,000, down from the 3,700,000 global views from last week. A total of 6,600,000 hours were consumed watching the show. The episode ranked #7 globally for the week and was #10 in Bolivia, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, United States, and United Kingdom. Last week's main competition was the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame college football game which did 22 million viewers on ESPN and ESPN 2.


WWE WORLD AT WRESTLEMANIA 41 PRE-SALE NOW ON
- The pre-sale for WWE World at WrestleMania 41 is now on through FanaticsEvents.com. The daily entrance fee is $86.25 including taxes and fees for an adult or $40.25 for kids.

WWE World will run from Thursday, April 17 to Monday, April 21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall. You can pre-purchase tickets at using your e-mail address as a pre-sale code.


OLD EPISODES OF NXT UPLOADED ON NEW WWE YOUTUBE CHANNEL
- WWE launched a dedicated NXT channel on YouTube, where it is uploading full episodes of old broadcasts and certain Takeover shows. All the NXT weekly episodes from 2012 up until March 2013 have so far been uploaded as well as three Takeover episodes: San Antonio, WarGames, and Chicago. NXT episodes were removed from Peacock in the United States and The CW app only has newer episodes which started airing on their network in October of last year. With no other outlet available for the back catalog, WWE has resorted to using YouTube for these shows, where the company still make a lot of money through several ads running during each episode. More episodes are expected to be uploaded. A large quantity of old NXT shows are available on Netflix for viewers residing outside the United States. You can check them out at


DYNAMITE PREVIEW
- Tonight's Dynamite from Huntsville, Alabama, is headlined by a TBS title match which pits Mercedes Mone defending her gold against Yuka Sakazaki. Other matches announced for the show are Jeff Jarrett vs Claudio Castagnoli with the stipulation that if Jarrett wins, he gets an AEW World title shot against Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay battles Brian Cage, and Wheeler Yuta takes on Jay White. The only other thing announced is a promo from MJF. It's certainly a light card compared to the previous weeks but more might be announced before the show goes on the air. Dynamite also airs on Max for those who have it.


GRAND SLAM: AUSTRALIA TO AIR AT 10:30PM ET
- The AEW Grand Slam: Australia broadcast is now set to air at 10:30PM ET on Saturday, February 15 right after the NBA All-Star Weekend programming on TNT. It will be a two-hour broadcast according to the TNT guide and will air instead of Collision that week. The show will also stream on Max some 18 hours after its original taping in Brisbane, Australia. The Brisbane Entertainment Centre will host Grand Slam after it was moved from the 50,000-seater Suncorp Stadium. Not a lot of tickets remain to fill the new location which is expected to hold less than 12,000.


COLLISION RATING
- Collision on Saturday drew 250,000 viewers, down 142,000 viewers from the prior week as it went head-to-head with the NBA on ABC and also WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event on NBC. The show had a 0.07 rating in 18-49, down 0.03 and placed #22 on the top 50 cable chart for the night. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)
