WWE is advertising the January 6th Raw taping, being held at The Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, MD, will have an "Old School" theme.

 

The dark match main event is being advertised as John Cena vs. Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Title with Booker T as special referee.

 

As of this writing, no legends have been announced for the show, but WWE typically brings back several past names for the Old School show.

Good start to the year then. :)

Just a few weeks after the unification of the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight championship, WWE.com is already questioning whether the company should also unify the secondary Intercontinental and United States championships. Who better to discuss a possible unification than the reigning champions themselves, Big E Langston and Dean Ambrose.

 

Both men agreed that unification is a good idea if it means the secondary title would have more prestige, which it undoubtedly would. While Ambrose was on board with the idea of introducing an entirely new belt, Big E says the United States title should be absorbed into the IC title:
 
?The Intercontinental Championship should always be around in WWE. It?s very historic, and I don?t think we should lose that history.?
 
When asked how the belts should be unified, Langston suggested a scaffold match, while Ambrose is in favor of a steel cage match.
 
When asked directly if they?re ready for a Champion vs. Champion showdown, Langston says he would ?welcome the challenge? and Ambrose said, ?I feel that what I?ve given and sacrificed for the U.S. Title, I?d be willing to put that on the line as a pride thing. It?s just as good as the Intercontinental Title. That?s something I?d be willing to prove.?

Jake "The Snake" Roberts has issued the following statement regarding a possible WWE return and an appearance in the 2014 Royal Rumble match:

 
"Daily questions on Rumble. Here is my official statement. I have had no contact from WWE. I publicized returning at the Royal Rumble as my goal about a year ago. Looking back, setting goals that are entirely in someone else's hands was not the best idea. My advice, and my practice now is to set goals that you can control. Do your best to control your destiny. If the Rumble happens, I will do my best to put on a memorable performance. If they want to keep me around, I know I can do some cool stuff. It if doesn't, I still have plenty to look forward to. That's all on the Rumble and WWE for a while. Please enjoy the rest of these holidays with your loved ones. Thanks again for all the support. Remember, the Snake ALWAYS bites back."

Hello,

Just a few weeks after the unification of the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight championship, WWE.com is already questioning whether the company should also unify the secondary Intercontinental and United States championships. Who better to discuss a possible unification than the reigning champions themselves, Big E Langston and Dean Ambrose.

 

Both men agreed that unification is a good idea if it means the secondary title would have more prestige, which it undoubtedly would. While Ambrose was on board with the idea of introducing an entirely new belt, Big E says the United States title should be absorbed into the IC title:

 

?The Intercontinental Championship should always be around in WWE. It?s very historic, and I don?t think we should lose that history.?

 

When asked how the belts should be unified, Langston suggested a scaffold match, while Ambrose is in favor of a steel cage match.

 

When asked directly if they?re ready for a Champion vs. Champion showdown, Langston says he would ?welcome the challenge? and Ambrose said, ?I feel that what I?ve given and sacrificed for the U.S. Title, I?d be willing to put that on the line as a pride thing. It?s just as good as the Intercontinental Title. That?s something I?d be willing to prove.?

I disagree.

There are currently 5 titles in the WWE: Divas, US, Tag Team, Intercontinental and World Heavyweight (which is strangly STILL represented with two belts). I also, without even noticing it, stated them in the weight of their current status.

The Divas title (well, its division) is a joke.

The US title is just hardly defended because Dean is in a tag team situation. He isnt really a singles competitor per say.

The WWE is trying to get its tag team division back in shape. Lets see how that turns out

The Intercontiental title is defended a lot more than the US title.

Personally I (and a lot more people) would bring back the hardcore title. It was just SO fun to see it defended. I mean even if you tone down the hardcore (no shots to the head, no glass, no blood, etc) just seeing them getting attacked in the back, a interviewer getting a pinfall because the hardcore champion was attacked, etc was just ENTERTAINMENT.

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Eder Cardoso · Posted

      These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Wow, Microsoft IS cooking lately... This only shows that they COULD improve, they just chose not to for whatever reasons. That obsession with AI was destroying them from the inside out.
