WWE
In order to clarify things with the Undertaker and Shane McMahon, Vince came out to tell us that if Undertaker lost he would never wrestle at Mania again. That revelation makes no sense considering Vince would not have the authority to fire him anymore since Shane would be in charge. the only part of this match that I am even slightly excited about is that it may lead to another brand extension.
There are going to be a handful of really good matches but the booking leading into them is horrible. The only match on this card that is not filled full of holes is the triple threat for the Diva's championship. WWE has one week to make this make sense but at this rate it will rival Wrestlemania 29 as the worst booked event ever.

NXT
As much as the NXT brand has been enjoyable lately, however, this week did nothing to build towards Takeover. There were a couple of good matches but even Asuka and Emma put on an underwhelming performance. NXT is far and away the better marketer of their women but this match was not worthy of a main event spot. Somoa Joe made a statement which was a welcome sight and helped his feud with Finn Balor. The way they are booking things, Takeover looks like it may be the better of the two events Wrestlemania weekend.
TNA
The announcement of Robert Roode and Eric Young leaving is a horrible turn of events for TNA especially considering on screen they are both current champions. The insistence on making the Hardy Boyz main eventers is really bringing down the over all feel of the show. At this point Drew Galloway, EC3 and Mike Bennet are about the only people that make this promotion watchable. TNA is really struggling to stay relevant especially since other promotions are really putting on great progaming
ROH
Nothing new this week. There was no weekly show and nothing came out about any new developments. Some of their talent is working in NJPW getting ready for their Invasion Attack PPV. But nothing to report since the crowning of new #1 tag team title contenders last week.
NJPW
This week NJPW kicked off it's road to Invasion Attack in style by having a show every day except Wednesday. Roppongi Vice spent the majority of the week taking on Kushida and a partner of his choosing which is an odd way for Kushida to be spending his time. Bullet Club continued feuding with Michael Elgin, having traded victories against him and various partners through out the week, On Saturday we had a title change with Steve Anthony defeating Tiger mask to win the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. Word came out also that NJPW is upset with WWE since they tried to buy the rights to Bullet Club.
Lucha Underground
If the WWE want's to learn the proper way to handle the Royal Rumble in the future they should watch this weeks episode. Aztec Warfare 2 was a great story that highlighted each individual talent and every current feud got it's spot in the sun. Lucha Underground is quickly becoming much watch TV for me especially after 3 straight weeks with a match of the year candidate.
GFW
Nothing New happened this week as they didn't have any shows
