The change was made because Bryan went to WWE officials and requested a match against Ziggler for WrestleMania 31.

Believe Impact is the highest rated and viewership show on Destination America but still around half below what they were averaging on Spike.

UFC President Dana White confirmed to The Fight Network that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar has no fights left on his MMA contract so legally Lesnar is able to talk with Bellator MMA. There has been some speculation that Bellator couldn't legally negotiate with Lesnar because he may have had some dates left on his UFC deal. Technically, both MMA companies can't legally talk with Lesnar until March when his WWE deal is done.

The show will also feature NXT Women's champion Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks and the finals of the WWE NXT Contender's tournament, which will be officially announced following tomorrow's WWE NXT episode on the WWE Network

Sin Cara's been wrestling in singles as of late on Raw & Smackdown. And he and Kalisto recently dropped the NXT Tag Team Titles.
It's because creative has been toying with a different gimmick for Kalisto. With the impending loss of Rey Mysterio, and the bust of Sin Cara, WWE is looking for a new masked star to take over, which would have been Kalisto, obviously.
But recently NXT officials tried Kalisto out with a new, unmasked gimmick: a gay hair stylist.
He blew away officials, no pun intended, with his portrayal, to the point that he is seriously being considered doing that gimmick instead of continuing with the Kalisto gimmick.

Other sheet news include Vince Russo's interview with Challenge TV confirming what others have said about Dixie being the biggest source of TNA's problems and David Otunga is now part of RAWs pre-show host lineup (may or may not end up replacing Riley's spot).
