Who's one more (hopefully kick-ass) match away from being number one contender? Photo Credit: WWE.com Master Regal: Welcome to NXT.  With Drew McIntyre out due to injury, an opportunity has opened up in the #1 contendership to face our new champion, Andrade "Cien" Almas, in Philadelphia at our next Takeover. There will be four qualifying singles matches and then a fatal four way, the winner of which will get the title shot in Philadelphia. Tonight, the first two of those occur as Killian Dain faces Trent Seven and Kassius Ohno... well, he was supposed to face the Velveteen Dream, who is still injured.  But he will face a worthy competitor nevertheless tonight.  Best of luck to all the competitors. Zelina Vega and Andrade "Cien" Almas: swag their way out Full Sailors: split reaction Zerlina: You are all witnesses to the beginning of a historical championship reign! Full Sailors: see earlier Zelina: Respect the man...embrace the legend...rise for your NXT Champion...

WILL ROUSEY (right, obviously) BE STARTING WITH WWE SOON? Photo Credit: WWE.com Well hello everyone of my LOYAL READERS. HORB FLERBMINBER is back again with all the news you can handle in one sitting. I ASKED THE SURGEON GENERAL FOR THE RIGHT AMOUNT. It just keeps coming. I sit and wonder, will the news ever stop? Will a day ever come when nothing will be out there for reporting, and I can finally take a long-awaited vacation from this misery that is my life of hanging out in smoky bingo halls, waiting at drop points for packages from sources in WWE, trolling the dark web for info that might be useful? And when I feel like it's right there for me that I can finally book a week off to go hiking in the Andes Mountains, to see the Nazca Lines and explore the Incan ruins around Machu Picchu, Roman Reigns fails a drug test, or Jeff Jarrett runs naked through Nashville, drunk as a skunk on Brass Monkey, and I have to be there to get all the dirt. My life is an ourobouros... what was I sa...

After you gluttons GORGED yourself on food this past week, the time has come for you to STUFF YOUR BRAIN STOMACH with all the tidbits of news that I can offer you, which is INFINITE. You HEAR ME? INFINITE. Who else offers that kind of capacity for information? DAVE MELTZER SURE DOESN'T. And don't even get me started on 411 Mania.

CRAM MY NEWSLETTER INTO THE BRAINS OF YOUR ENEMIES. However, if you wish to get the FULL HORB EXPERIENCE, I suggest you follow me on Twitter dot com, @HorbFlerbminber .

On a Women's Royal Rumble

Are the new debuts a portent for a women's Rumble? Photo Credit: WWE.com If you want a trendy rumored explanation for why Liv Morgan, Ruby Riot, Sarah Logan, Sonya Deville, and Mandy Rose were brought up to the main roster to do exactly the same things just on different shows, it's because WWE wants to do a women's Royal Rumble match at some point. Whether it's in Philadelphia at the actual Rumble or in New York, either at Barclay's Center or the Hammerstein Ballroom during the RAW 25th Anniversary Special, the hot topic is to bring gender equity to the thirty-wrestler over-the-top staggered-entry battle royale in the same way the company did for the Money in the Bank ladder match. As it stands right now, with the five new entrants on the roster plus the returning Paige, the number of active female competitors on both RAW and Smackdown stands at 21. If you remove the two Champions, you're left with 19 competitors. You don't get to 30, but it's not a reac...
