A WWE United States Title match between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens from "WWE Battleground 2017" was uploaded to YouTube. To watch the match, click here.

In celebration of the WWE Network’s fifth birthday, the full episode of “WWE 24: Goldberg” has been uploaded to YouTube.

David Arquette was at "WWE Monday Night RAW" in Atlanta, GA last Monday night. Ric Flair tweeted a picture with him backstage before the show, which you can see by clicking here.

Ric Flair also sent out a tweet about the angle where he was attacked by Batista at the end of RAW. He tweeted “I Want To Thank @WWE For Throwing Such A Wonderful Birthday Celebration With Some Of My Closest Friends. As For @DaveBautista… Be Careful Whose Party You Crash, Big Man! #WOOOOO”

After RAW went off the air last night, Shawn Michaels hit Sweet Chin Music on Jinder Mahal and Kurt Angle gave Mahal an Angle Slam onto Flair’s birthday cake. You can see the video by clicking here.

Johnny Mundo and P. J. Black will be appearing in Australia in April for Lucha DownUnderground II in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide. Mundo will also work Melbourne and Sydney in June.

Jeff Jarrett and his now-dormant Global Force Entertainment Company have filed a new $4.8 million lawsuit against Impact Wrestling and Anthem Entertainment in U. S. District Court in Tennessee on February 21st.

Jake Hager, the man previously known as Jack Swagger, will be fighting T. J. Jones in his second MMA fight for Bellator at Bellator 221, which takes place at the Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, IL. The Rosemont Horizon is an arena that Hager knows very well from his WWE days. While no betting odds are out yet for the event, Hager will most likely be the favorite for this fight
considering his quick work last time around. There are several online betting on MMA websites which you can check as the event gets closer. Jones has a 1-1 record and the 28-year-old heavyweight from Missouri has not fought since October 27, 2018 at the "Revolution Cage Warrior Challenge: Halloween Brawl On Boot Hill" event. In that event, Jones defeated Erick Braly who has an 0-2 record himself. Hager defeated J.W. Kiser via submission in the first round of his debut fight in Bellator last month.

Sgt. Slaughter was on "Busted Open Radio" which you can hear by clicking here.

Harley Race has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Ric Flair, appearing on a podcast, said that the cancer was terminal however upon further clarification from David Marquez of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, the cancer is not terminal and he’s being treated by doctors. “I’ve just spoke to Harley Race’s family and yes he has been diagnosed with lung cancer but it’s not terminal. He’s being treated and supervised by his doctors. He is still very active in @worldleaguewlw and appreciates everyone’s concerns,” Marquez wrote. Considered to be one of the toughest guys in the history of the business, the 75-year-old Race had an active career that spanned three decades wrestling with the AWA, NWA, WWF, and WCW. He now runs the World League Wrestling, an indie promotion in Missouri and also active in the Harley Race Wrestling Academy. Oklafan wishes him a speedy recovery.

Nikki Knight recently suffered an undetermined knee injury which forced her to relinquish the MSWA Ladies Title. Oklafan wishes her a speedy recovery.

Oklafan extends condolences to Maggie Rae on the passing of her mother on February 25th.
