— Chris Jericho has now officially been added to the list of participants for Sunday’s Royal Rumble. Visit WWE.com for an updated list of Rumble participants. With CM Punk, Finlay and Mark Henry announced on RAW and now Jericho added, nine spots now remain.
— WWE Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis made a rare WWE television appearance on last night’s RAW. Laurinaitis was the first person to hit the ring after Randy Orton brutally punted Vince McMahon in the head to end the broadcast. Laurinaitis got in Orton’s face and ordered him to leave the ring.
— Thanks to Mike V. for the following. … So after C.M. Punk won the title tonight, I did some research. Punk became a triple crown champion (World, Tag Team, Intercontinental) faster than anyone else in the company. From his first title reign (June 30, 2008) to tonight (January 19, 2009), it has been 203 days. The only person close to that was Kevin Nash who became a triple crown champion in 227 days. Don’t know if this means anything in the long run, but it is interesting to see Vince solidify him in history like this.
