The Miz' Fantasy Football Bet, WWE-K-Mart Promotion

– WWE is partnering with K-Mart for a contest to promote the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble. Beginning on January 8th and running through January 29th–the day of the show–Kmart is offering $10 off a future WWE merchandise purchase if you spend $30 on WWE merchandise in the store. That includes WWE/Mattel toys, THQ's WWE video games and WWE t-shirts and apparel.

– WWE will not have any house shows this weekend. Everyone has the Christmas weekend off, but they will be back to work on Monday in Chicago for the live RAW taping. The SmackDown/NXT tapings then take place on Tuesday.

– The Miz is in a bet over fantasy football. Miz entered into the bet with "Fantasy Sports Writers Association Hall of Famer" Scott Engel in regard to their fantasy football finals in the Sirius XM Celebrity Fantasy Football League. If Miz wins then he gets to deliver a bodyslam to Engel; if Engel wins, Miz will get "put into a RotoExperts X headlock."
