The Rock appeared at today's all hands on deck WWE Employee meeting at WWE HQ in Stamford, CT, PWInsiderElite.com can confirm. We are told that the meeting went about 20 minutes with The Rock, WWE President Nick Khan and Triple H all speaking. It was very much a rah rah meeting with the employees being praised and thanked for getting the company to where it is. The actual meeting took place a few hours after it was originally slated to take place. We'll update with more details as we confirm.
We are told Paul Heyman was also spotted at WWE HQ today.
Sources are telling PWInsiderElite.com that Michael Cole will call Smackdown on Friday, which makes sense since he will be in town for The Royal Rumble anyway. So, it will be Cole and Corey Graves.
We are told that the talk at Raw yesterday and at WWE HQ today is that the company will be incorporating some sports-centric elements into the programming. Cody Rhodes being interviewed on Raw "earlier today" complete with the clock listing the time was an example given of trying to root the product in stronger realism. We are told that interviews will reflect this as well.
Bianca Belair and Montez Ford were at Rockefeller Center in NYC today for promotional work related to their Hulu reality series.
