- WWE's recent offers to former TNA talents have generally been in the range of $35,000 to $75,000, depending on who the talent is, and that is what the usual NXT deals go for. Obviously some stars, like a Doc Gallows or Karl Anderson, would be on a much higher level.

- Below are recent WWE attendance figures:

* January 22nd in Orlando for NXT TV tapings drew 5,500 fans
* January 23rd in Estero, FL drew 3,700 fans
* January 24th in Orlando for the Royal Rumble drew a sell out of just under 12,000 fans (announced as 15,170)
