WWE's New Year's Revolution in Puerto Rico is sold out. New Year's Revolution will air live on Sky Sports 1 in the UK for free. Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Judgment Day, and Great American Bash will be offered as pay shows in the UK.

inDemand's No Way Out preview includes mention of the "first ever barbed wire steel cage match" however the show is being held in Pittsburgh, PA and the State Athletic Convention banned the use of barbed wire in 2002. The planned participants for the barbed wire match are JBL and Big Show. WWE is promoting Randy Orton vs. Triple H with Shawn Michaels as referee for their upcoming Long Island, NY RAW.

The Smackdown crew returned from Iraq without incident. WWE.com has articles on the WWE's trip to Iraq with comments from Mick Foley, Luther Reigns, and some of the soldiers they've met, as well as some common misconceptions about Iraq. Neither Rob Van Dam nor Luther Reigns reportedly wanted to take the voluntary trip to Iraq, but after some company pressure, only Reigns changed his mind.

IGN named Chris Benoit their WWE wrestler of the year, and Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Benoit vs. Triple H at Wrestlemania XX as the WWE match of the year. WWE.com has some post Armageddon comments from John Cena about his return, the US title, and Carlito. Stacy Keibler is KZRR 94's Thong of the Day for today.

Mike "The Miz" Mizanin's recent Tough Enough loss made an MSNBC discussion of post-reality TV career success. AJ Styles will make his return to Ring of Honor on February 25 against Jimmy Rave in Dayton, OH, however it's currently a one-time only deal as TNA wants him to working with 3PW in Philadelphia, PA rather than ROH. There's a second report from FUSION's debut show on Friday in Elizabeth, NJ.

That's it for today. Thanks for reading.
