Results from Thursday’s NXT UK are straight ahead in this update but first…
The waiting game for WWE when it comes to live fans at its events will drag on into the second half of the year.
Of course, WWE does plan to have some fans at WrestleMania.
During an investors call Thursday...WWE executives said they don’t expect fans in attendance at any other shows until the middle of the year, at the earliest.
Also during the call, WWE’s Nick Khan said he doesn’t expect the upcoming shutdown of NBC Sports Network, and the migration of some of its programming to USA Network, to have any impact on Raw or NXT.
WWE announced Thursday it’s come to terms on the release of Steve Cutler.
The former Forgotten Sons member was most recently seen alongside Wesley Blake, backing King Corbin on SmackDown. But both had been missing from Corbin’s recent appearances.
Cutler tweeted, “It was shocking, to say the least. But, I am excited about the future.” Cutler also indicated he’ll be looking to get back in a wrestling ring when his 90-day non-compete expires.
Both Royal Rumble winners - Bianca Belair and Edge are being promoted for tonight’s Smackdown.
Edge recently responded to critics of a “part-timer” winning the Rumble.
