Brock Lesnar's plans were indeed scrapped from the Royal Rumble, and the immediate future.
Fightful has learned that multiple reports regarding Brock Lesnar and his immediate status in WWE were true. Fightful reported last week that Lesnar was at least planned for the WWE Royal Rumble. By Thursday and WWE's lawsuit that alluded to him, that was no longer the case. Fightful learned by Friday, plans for Lesnar to travel into Tampa were canceled.

CM Punk is injured. He's out of WrestleMania. Drew McIntyre prayed for his downfall and it came true. Sami Zayn thinks that's not very nice, so they're gonna fight about it in the main event.
Anyway, with Punk out, Rollins needs a challenger, so we have to pivot.
And we might be doing the very rare DOUBLE PIVOT.
Because there's a FUBU title, and it's also the Dusty Rhodes title (according to Seth), so obviously it's the title Cody should choose.

CM Punk had his first WWE Raw segment with a producer listed since his return....and probably his last for a while.
Over the last couple of months, Punk hasn't had a producer listed internally on his segment, as that is usually the case with segments that don't involve physicality. As the Royal Rumble match featured numerous producers, it was tough to see who would be handling much of his segments moving forward.
With Drew McIntyre and Punk getting physical, the producers assigned...

WWE feared throughout the weekend that CM Punk had sustained a major injury.
Wrestling Observer reported that Punk had sustained a triceps injury, which PWInsider has reported that they've heard will require surgery. If true, this will likely sideline him well past WrestleMania. Fightful had heard that Punk suffered a triceps injury this weekend, and it has since been confirmed by WWE sources.

Andrade finished up with AEW at World's End, and most everyone in the company knew he was headed back to WWE, as he made it clear he wouldn't be returning to AEW. Many in the both WWE and AEW actually expected him to debut earlier than he did, because they thought WWE may want to pull of the visual that they were able to s...

The Women's Rumble had a fantastic finish, and the right woman won!
(But I don't trust them to tell the story right from here on out.)
Roman Reigns finally felt his comeuppance as the Fatal 4-Way odds were too much to overcome. (Nah, I'm just kidding. He won, just like always, of course.)
A true current legend of the wrestling business lost by DQ to a human piece of trash, and was made to look like an idiot in the process.

- Those we spoke to in TNA said that Naomi indicated that she was going back to WWE before she left, and had mentioned the Royal Rumble.
