Upon signing with ROH, Alberto has requested that Ring of Honor matchmaker Nigel McGuinness challenge him with the very best that ROH has to offer, and many of the stars in Ring of Honor have already started making phone calls to Nigel to take on El Patron.

WWE had planned for NXT Women's Champion Charlotte and Natalya to face off in a singles match on Monday's Slammy Awards RAW but then changed it to a tag team match, then finally deciding on going with the singles match. Due to the awards, they were running low on time and the decision was made for them to do a quick singles match.
It was a Vince McMahon decision for Charlotte to lose and there was a feeling that if Triple H had his way, Charlotte would have went over. In the tag match, Charlotte was the one who would have scored the pinfall for her team. When it was changed to a singles match, Natalya reportedly asked to lose the match because she felt it was the right thing.
Vince decided against it and Triple H sort of defended the move, bringing up the timing issues and saying that in six months when they bring Charlotte in again, people won't remember this happened.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the Bellator MMA promotion contacted Alberto Del Rio last week when they failed to sign CM Punk to a deal.
No word yet no what happened between Del Rio and Bellator. On a related note, Del Rio will be making his Ring of Honor debut in January 2015.
There are people within WWE who believe AJ Lee is leaving the company after Sunday's TLC pay-per-view. It has not been confirmed that she's leaving but that is being talked about backstage.
There was some online speculation after RAW that AJ's acceptance speech for the Diva of the Year Slammy Award was her way of saying goodbye. It's possible that the speech really becomes her farewell if the speculation on her departure turns out to be true.
Variety reports that Discovery is in talks with Netflix to stream their content on the service. Discovery owns Destination America, which is will begin airing TNA Impact Wrestling in 2015. It's possible that TNA ends up on Netflix next year.
