- Above is a clip from the latest Hidden Gem additions on the WWE Network, featuring Triple H's DQ win over then-WWE Champion Randy Orton at the April 13, 2008 WWE live event from the Nottingham Arena in Nottingham, England. The full upload on the Network runs almost 28 minutes.

- As noted, it was announced today that WWE Universal & RAW Tag Team Champion Seth Rollins ranked #1 in the annual PWI 500 list for 2019. Rollins topped the list, followed by Daniel Bryan, WWE United States Champion AJ Styles, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada, Johnny Gargano, Roman Reigns, Kenny Omega, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay at #10.
WWE NXT UK Superstar Pete Dunne took to Twitter this evening and apparently knocked the annual list, which has been a hot topic for a few decades now.
"Imagine sitting there and writing a list of 500 wrestlers based off a completely random criteria and then imagine people actually caring. Don't get me started on star ratings. Wrestling is mad sometimes, just find what you like and watch it often," Dunne wrote.
