- Channel24 published an interview here this week with Jason Jordan, which was conducted before he underwent neck surgery on Tuesday, about the upcoming WWE tour in South Africa in April. During the interview, he discussed growing up a WWE fan.
"Wrestling was something I would watch with my brothers," Jordan said. "I can't remember exactly what it was that initially drew me to it, but the athleticism, the showmanship and the characters were definitely something that caught my eye."
- As Joshua noted over the weekend, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle starring The Rock was number one again at the U.S. box office this past weekend despite being in its seventh week of release.

Worldwide it is still behind The Fate of the Furious and Furious 7, which grossed $1.24 billion and $1.52 billion globally, respectively. It will soon be Sony's second highest grossing movie ever worldwide, beating all of the Spider-Man films. It is scheduled for release in Japan in April.
- The next WWE 24 special will once again feature the Women's Evolution. It is titled, WWE 24: Women's Evolution 2. A premiere date has not yet been revealed.
