A while since we've had one of these so I thought I'd start one for the new year.
The Royal Rumble is less than 3 weeks away and there was big news on Raw last night when it was confirmed Roman Reigns will be forced to defend the WWE World Heavyweight title in the Royal Rumble Match itself. It'll only be the second time the title has been on the line in the Royal Rumble - the only previous occasion being in 1992 when Ric Flair won the match to claim the vacant title.
Chris Jericho returned on Raw last night and confirmed his entry and WWE has announced Brock Lesnar will return next week so it's promising to be a star-studded match.

I'm struggling to see how WWE is going to make WM the showpiece event this year with so many big name superstars on the injured list right now.

He says he will now have surgery in the coming days.
Posting on Instagram he said: "My fans have always looked upon me as a hero and I've always done my best to live up to that in and out of the ring.
"I will wage my fearsome fight against cancer with one shield and one sword carrying my determination and my fury for life."
Bret Hart was much loved by fans because of his charisma in the ring and his punishing finishing move the Sharpshooter.
The Hitman comes from a wrestling family his father Stu Hart is also a member of the WWE Hall of Fame.
His brother Owen Hart was also a WWE wrestler, he died controversially after an accident during an entry to the ring in 1999.
