My guess is AAA and New Japan, but that's just a hunch on my part. We are told that Toby Keith's involvement would play into some of these announcements. We have not heard anything regarding a potential GFW TV deal. Jeff Jarrett, when reached by phone, declined to comment but said, "When I am ready to talk, you will know."

As noted earlier, Grammy-nominated rapper Wale is organizing a wrestling show for 2015. Wale revealed on Twitter that the event will take place in New York City, writing: "Wrestling event in NYC soon. Already booked so many suprises . Phone been ringin off the hook" Paul Heyman has been working closely with the rapper on the idea. While not directly involved, Heyman is advising Wale on the ins and outs of promoting. Heyman has introduced Wale to clubs and arenas, while also recommending wrestlers to Wale. It should be noted that Heyman is not partnering with Wale on the show; he is merely helping a close friend, according to those close to Heyman.

MercuryNews.com and SFWeekly.com both have articles on WWE and the San Francisco 49ers hosting an anti-bullying rally at Buchser Middle School in Santa Clara, California earlier this week. As noted, Darren Young, Renee Young, Bryan, Brie Bella and Stephanie McMahon were there repreenting WWE. The people involved in organizing the event reportedly raved about how nice Bryan, his wife and "the guy whose name they couldn't remember" (Darren Young) were, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

 could end up with the possibility of Cena vs Lesnar at TLC and the Rumble.

The main event that night was a 29 year old Undertaker vs. a 28 year old Yokozuna in a casket match.
