Scheduled for tonight are Chelsea Green vs Michin for the Women's United States title, Naomi vs Liv Morgan, Jimmy Uso vs Carmelo Hayes, and Motor City Machine Guns and Los Garza vs DIY and Pretty Deadly.

BIG HINTS BEING DROPPED ON AJ LEE APPEARING AT THE RUMBLE

"Oooooooh, that's a big one," he said. "I'm not going to say because I'm gonna get in trouble!" Today, Punk was on The Pat McAfee show where McAfee and his guests were having fun toying with Punk about AJ showing up tomorrow. "She's at home watching Larry," Punk replied. "Chicago's very close," McAfee responded, with a wink. "Today's Friday though," another co-host said, also winking. "Three hour drive," added McAfee, winking again. "52 minute flight," chimed in the other co-host. "Hey, how are you getting to Cleveland on Monday," Punk asked McAfee. "Flying," McAfee responded. "You wanna come with?" "Yeah," Punk said.

GOLDBERG UNDERGOING STEM CELL THERAPY AHEAD OF RETIREMENT MATCH

- WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg is taking preparation for his retirement match seriously and is going to great lengths to be in top condition when that happens. Goldberg was promised a final match in WWE in 2025 and although details of where and when and against who are still being worked out, the former champ is not wasting any time in getting ready. Speaking on his CarCast podcast, Goldberg said that he will be going to Colombia to visit BioXcellerator, one of the leading regenerative stem cell therapy clinics, which other former wrestlers used to help their bodies. Goldberg said his biggest issue is his shoulder. "I have to crawl before I run. We all know I have a pretty screwed-up shoulder," he said. "That's my biggest concern getting into this retirement match. I remember six months ago, I couldn't do anything."

FULL INTERVIEW: STEPHANIE MCMAHON ON THE PAT MCAFEE SHOW

- Former WWE co-CEO Stephanie McMahon was a guest on The Pat McAfee Show yesterday, where she spent 35 minutes promoting the Royal Rumble, WWE, and her brand new show Stephanie's Places.

During the broadcast, McMahon said that there will be a lot of surprises on the show that she doesn't know about and if she did, she wouldn't be allowed to say anyway. "I know some things...but not all things," Stephanie told McAfee who was trying his best to extract information. Stephanie also discussed several other subjects, like appearing on the Raw premiere on Netflix, how proud she is of her husband, resigning from the company, her dislike of cats, being a heel and a face, and returning with the new show on ESPN+. "One of the things I learned when I stepped away from WWE is that I can never get away from WWE. It's who I am and what I love," Stephanie told McAfee. You can see the full interview at .

- A few days after he was surprised as being the main event of this year's WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Paul "Triple H" Levesque posted a message on X to share his feelings. "Been trying to come up with a way to say 'Thank You' for the immense honor announced yesterday," he wrote. "I have had the incredible pleasure of a 30 + year of creating memories and moments... meeting life-long friends (which I'm rethinking both @Undertaker &@ShawnMichaels right now) and of course, the most incredible wife and mother @StephMcMahon. ...and the opportunity to entertain the best fans in the world." Triple H thanked everyone who reached out and appreciated the kind words and well-wishes. The WWE Chief Content Officer was surprised with the announcement during a WWE town hall meeting this week at WWE HQ with WWE President Nick Khan and TKO President Mark Shapiro also being in on it along with Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker. Triple H joked that he was going to kill Khan and told everyone that if they see a body flying off the roof to ignore it!

LOGAN PAUL AND BROTHER JAKE TO HAVE REALITY SERIES ON MAX

- WWE Superstar Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul announced a brand-new original reality series titled Paul American which will start airing on Thursday, March 27 exclusively on Max. Featuring archival and never-before-seen footage, the eight-episode series debuts weekly on Max leading up to the season finale on Thursday, May 15. "We’ve built our lives in front of the world, but Paul American is the raw, unfiltered truth behind everything you think you know about us. It isn't just about the headlines or the viral moments — it’s about the journey that got us here," the Paul brothers said in a press release. "For the first time, our fans will get to see the real people who shape our lives: our mom, dad, Jutta, Nina, and everyone else in our inner circle. As athletes, we’ve poured everything into proving ourselves in the ring and breaking barriers in sports, entertainment, and beyond. But at the core of it all is family and the relationships that keep us grounded. This series dives into the moments that define us and the bonds that make us unstoppable. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s real and honest, showing the world a side of us they’ve never seen, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this story with our fans." The show promises to give unparalleled access to the Paul family and their inner circle, peeling back the curtain on the most raw, honest, and intimate moments in the brothers’ over-the-top, high-octane lives. Max is obviously the home of AEW and Logan is a WWE star so the marketing for this one should be interesting!
