• Fightful has an early look at the AEW book, and will be bringing you all an exclusive preview next week.

• Santos Escobar was in town and at the WWE Raw show this past week.

• Chelsea Green confirmed our Fightful Select report that she'd re-signed with WWE on a five-year extension.

• Regarding the WrestleMania 42 teasers, Brock Lesnar flew in private to be at the filming last week.

• Sources that we've spoken to in WWE still haven't heard anything new on the Andrade front, and he's still not factored into creative plans. He's not expected to be.

• It was pretty well expected, but Hologram's knee injury is bad enough to where it's keeping him out the rest of the year.

• WWE has made some of their footage available for license at a high fee. We're told by many that the company may be getting more protective of their footage as a result.

• Bobby Lashley screaming "calm down!" at Hook was a part of the match, it wasn't a shoot, regardless of what weird people who didn't actually watch the show claim.

• Triple H had admittedly been absent for some recent episodes of Raw and Smackdown. He is backstage at the show today. Road Dogg is also backstage after being absent last week.

• Nattie Neidhart had a book signing in New York Thursday that was attended by hundreds of fans.

• Alba Fire, Piper Niven, Gia Miller were among the other wrestlers at Mance Warner and Steph De Lander's Wedding

• After our Select Answers article about Nyla Rose not being used, there were a lot of people assuming it had something to do with the Missouri commission or the political or social landscape. If that is the case, that word hasn't made its way around AEW.

• WWE was filming last month at some of R-Truth's release parties for upcoming projects.

• Wrestling Observer reported that Bianca Belair still doesn't have a return timetable. Her particular finger break was very bad. It affected the knuckle, which is a lot more sensitive.

• Potential spoiler: we're told R-Truth is dressing like Santa Claus tonight.

DEBUNKATHON

• The latest Sportskeeda drivel -- a page in their referral program claims Chris Jericho has signed with WWE and is debuting at Saturday Night's Main Event. That isn't true. What happens with these pages is they get a referral fee for driving clicks to Sportskeeda. Sportskeeda maintains no oversight because they don't care where the traffic is coming from, and as a result, things like that happen.

• I can't convey this enough. MJF does not have a public facebook page, and does not endorse the fake one going around. Also, Maria Kanellis has not had access to her facebook page for years.

• For some reason, Hannibal claimed that Juggalo Championship Wrestling drew 2,000 fans for their latest show, which is "more than AEW of late." Not only is that wildly untrue, it wasn't a standalone show. It was a part of a concert.

• Literally anything you see from "Kayfabe corner" is just completely fake. They post a lot of stuff about wrestlers making insane 20 million dollar donations to charities and homeless people. It's embarrassing that we even have to address that even in the Debunkathon, but over 25,000 dumbasses liked their post. There are other pages that post AI pictures of wrestlers in the hospital claiming they have cancer or are dying. We encourage you guys to report those pages.

• I'm not sure why people keep asking us about Britt Baker to WWE, but she's under AEW contract well into 2026.

• Tyrus said that he believes Donald Trump will be at John Cena's final match, but there was some confusion around his words. Tyrus said if Trump said he will be there, he will be. So far it isn't on Trump's schedule, and he hasn't said he's going.

• Please follow me on Facebook, and our Fightful account on Facebook as we're debunking fake stories and adding stuff from our vault and archives.

• There was a post claiming that Goldberg said Asuka's streak doesn't count "because she's just a girl." This was an outright lie, and Goldberg never said that.
