— The official Twitter feed of WWE released the following statement after the Royal Rumble: “One great thing about Sheamus winning the #RoyalRumble = We’re seeing all the fake Sheamus Twitter impostors coming out! #NoSheamusOnTwitter.”
— In a WWE.com video, WWE Champion CM Punk evaluates how his match with Dolph Ziggler went Sunday night, and how he would grade the match’s guest official, Raw Interim General Manager John Laurinaitis. “Did he call it down the middle?” Punk asks. “The way I saw it, John Laurinaitis was not only trying to save his job, he was trying to screw mine as Best in the World, as WWE Champion. There’s at least three times I had that match won prior to me actually winning it that he was completely out of position doing God knows what. I give an F, an F-minus.”
— As noted last night here on the website, Sunday night’s WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view from the Scottrade Center in St. Louis was officially sold out.
— Independent wrestler Devon Nicholson will meet WWE in court this October with his $6 million lawsuit. Nicholson is suing after WWE rescinded a contract offer to him. Nicholson alleges that WWE discriminated against him because of his Hepatitis C.
