It's easy to criticize @WWE, but last night's #Starrcade was presented & executed in WONDERFUL form. A mix of ICONIC NWA legends, along with current superstars, made for a grand slam of an event last night. Honored to be part of it with Rock N Roll & The Day of New.

The Starrcade event last night in Greensboro, NC is said to have done a monster house for WWE, the best in a long time for the market. The belief backstage is WWE will bring it back next year.
WWE has been getting former talents and personalities to film video messages about the upcoming 25th Anniversary of Raw, so expect those to either be included in the broadcast or on the company's website as we get closer to the 1/22/18 25th Anniversary broadcast, which will be simulcast from the Manhattan Center and The Barclays Center in NYC.
Since we have gotten a lot of emails about this, with WWE NXT taping this Wednesday evening at Full Sail Live, the episode that will air the same night on the WWE Network will be comprised of material that was taped at the San Antonio, Texas live event the night before Takeover: Wargames.
WWE will be holding back to back Raw and Smackdown tapings in Phoenix, Arizona on Monday 2/19 and Tuesday 2/20 at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. The company will be doing the same in March in Dallas, Texas, with back to back tapings on Monday 3/19 and 3/20. Obviously they will be in New Orleans for multiple tapings in April post-Wrestlemnania as well, so it will be interesting to see if they continue to do that on a monthly basis after Mania season ends.
