John Cena is currently scheduled to be off of WWE Live events following the WWE Royal Rumble PPV. Cena is currently scheduled for the PPV, and will then be off of live events until the tour of Germany, which starts on February 10th.

Looks like Cena might be going in an Orton route for his post-vacation return. Orton managed to get his deal tweaked so he barely wrestles on house shows to get as much time off as possible.

Sting also mentioned the injury was not affecting his day-to-day life, having just returned from a tour in Europe, and when Flair asked him if he had at least one more match left in him, Sting replied “Absolutely.”

Update on the recent interview Sting had on Ric Flair's podcast. If a final match happens, likely won't be at next year's Mania due to the recovery time needed.

According to a report by the Texas Tribune released Friday, Texas will cough up $2.7 million from public coffers to bring a the Super Bowl of professional wrestling (mania 32) to the state.

Could be higher since a final amount is still being worked on but should easily be able to cover it based on past host cities revenues made from the event.

First up, “Straight Outta Dudleyville: The Legacy of the Dudley Boyz” will be the title of the new DVD set, according to what we’re seeing on official schedules as of this month. The first release date scheduled is Monday, April 11th, 2016 when the collection will hit stores in the United Kingdom, so expect the release date to the United States to fall in the same month. It’s coming on both DVD and Blu-ray formats worldwide.

Some other sheet news includes:

• Update to Bryan thinking his WWE career is over news as the WWE supposedly gave him an offer to be a trainer at NXT although he likely will refuse. Mainly due to him thinking he won't be as good of a teacher for NXT. Same for being a possible future announcer since he thinks he wouldn't be great either.
• WWE announced the Network will be launching in Japan on January 5th, 2016. https://twitter.com/WWEJapan/status/675209000514936832 . Before anyone tries to spin that into something really positive, WWE's fanbase in Japan is very tiny and paid services like Netflix have struggled to gain a good foothold in Japan.
• For those in the UK, BBC recently released a documentary about Prince Devitt/Finn Balor pre-WWE career in Japan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...s3/smack-em-up
• For everyone else, someone uploaded the same documentary on Daily Motion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2lioia
• Stardust recently hinted on Twitter that either a film or documentary based on Dusty Rhodes is currently in the process of being made. Tentatively called "The Last Cowboy" with a planned 2017 release date. https://twitter.com/StardustWWE/stat...10617885310976
