– Current SmackDown Live Superstar Rusev recently took to Twitter to say that he’d like a role similar to that of John Cena’s free agent status, with the ability to bring “Rusev Day” to both RAW and SmackDown Live:
If Cena can do both shows why can’t #RusevDay !!!! #RAW

– During his match with Rhyno last night Braun Strowman grabbed the mic and dropped an epic “get these hands” line on Heath Slater. “The Monster Among Men” ended up trending on Twitter after defeating Rhyno and laying waste to Slater as well. He took to Twitter to comment on the win:
One day in to 2018 two notches on my belt!!!! #YouDontWantTheseHands

– Also on Monday Night RAW Goldust teamed up with 205 Live star Cedric Alexander to defeat Ariya Daivari and Drew Gulak. This is the second week that WWE has paired regular Superstars with 205 Live stars as Finn Balor teamed up with Hideo Itami a week prior. Goldust took to Twitter to comment on making his debut in the Cruiserweight Division:
Felt good to be on #Raw tonight with @cedricAlexander…felt like a…a…Cruiserweight!!! #205Dust
