Last night CM Punk (Phil Brooks) appeared on Talking Dead to say farewell to The Walking Dead after its final episode, along with thanking the cast and crew of the show. He had been on the show before once in 2012 and twice in 2014.

From WWE: "WWE Royal Rumble 2023 - slated for Saturday, January 28 - has broken the company's record for largest gate in the event's 36-year history. Over the weekend, Royal Rumble surpassed the $5M mark and previous record holder from 2017 - the last time the event was held at San Antonio's AlamoDome. This carries a 2022 trend into 2023 where WWE set gate records for many of its events, including WrestleMania, Extreme Rules and Crown Jewel."

In this interview Nick Aldis says his loyalty to NWA cost him a shot at AEW: "Well, I thought that it was well known at this point that I had talked to Tony Khan very early on, and there's a lot more to it than people know. Essentially, I wanted to go, but I also wanted to wait until I had got the NWA to a point where I felt like they could function effectively. And by the time that came around, again, the relationship between Tony and Billy had changed. And I probably should have reached out sooner and had my own direct communication, instead of trusting what was being told to me about what was potentially coming up down the road. I'll just say that."

In this interview Chavo Guerrero Jr. talks about the potential of Ross & Marshall Von Erich: "Absolutely, those guys are super talented. First of all, great boys, or great guys. They really are. But they're very talented. The Von Erichs, they are just ridiculous athletes, you know what I mean? So, these guys are super athletic as well. You see them in the ring, they can move, they go ... They just need time in that ring and time battling the best, so just start battling the best. That's how you get good. That's how I got better, was being in the ring with guys like Eddie, and Malenko, and Finlay, and Regal, and Benoit, and every one of them was kicking my butt every time I was in there. And you just rise to the occasion, because when you're like the big fish in the pond, well you are not going to get any better. But when you're the smaller fish in the pond, you rise to your competition. And that's what I believe they need. That's it. That's all they need."

The Teddy Hart docuseries debuts on Peacock tomorrow: "Canadian filmmaker Frederick Kroetsch spends 10 years trying to make a reality show about controversial independent wrestler and Persian cat breeder, Teddy Hart. After accumulating years of footage, Frederick is shocked when multiple women whom he has been filming alongside Teddy, describe disturbing accusations of sexual misconduct behind the scenes. As Teddy defends himself against growing allegations, his protege and ex-girlfriend Samantha Fiddler, goes missing. With Samantha's family desperate for answers, Frederick reexamines the footage and seeks out the people closest to Samantha, leading to a dramatic current day confrontation with Teddy Hart."

Roman Reigns talks about when his title run might end: "I'm right in the middle of it. People want these interviews, they want to do these documentaries. But this is the bottom of the third inning to me. We're in the second quarter of the Super Bowl right now. Just wait, man. We've done this in turbulent times, through a pandemic, through the biggest change of all time in this business. And we've done it seamlessly. We've done it without falter. Down the road, 20 years from now when we start giving out all these crazy details of the inside, inside, there's just going to be even deeper respect for the performances that we've been putting on. Man, it's been a hell of a journey. But it's only begun. It's going to get bigger."
