• NXT Star Being Inducted Into The ICW Hall of Fame
Below is what WWE announced:
Drew McIntyre to be inducted into ICW Hall of Fame
“As Drew McIntyre continues recuperating from the devastating bicep injury he suffered last November at TakeOver: WarGames, the former NXT Champion will have cause for celebration later this month when he returns home to Scotland to be honored by an organization near and dear to his heart.
Glasgow-based Insane Championship Wrestling announced today that it will induct McIntyre into its Hall of Fame on Monday, Feb. 12. The Scottish Superstar will receive the honor in person, making a one-night-only appearance at ICW’s Fight Club event at the O2 ABC in Glasgow.
McIntyre was a mainstay in ICW, both before his original debut in WWE as well as during his three-year hiatus away from WWE. He was the organization’s inaugural ICW Heavyweight Champion, first winning the title in 2006. McIntyre recaptured the title again in 2014, holding it for 378 days. In response to the news, McIntyre described his upcoming induction as a “truly special” honor.”
Below is what McIntyre had to say about this:
I’ve won many across the world & had many big moments, but this honor is truly special to me. When I was released, I told the @BBC that this little company would take over the world. We grew, and together we broke the independent wrestling attendance record. I’m coming home #HOF https://t.co/Mo0bP3Vqg0

• Nia Jax Responds To YouTuber Who Fat Shamed Her
Raw Superstar Nia Jax, who was billed at 272 lbs last year on WWE programming, was recently fat shamed by YouTuber “Grim’s Toy Show”. Grim referred to her as “Nia Fat”, “the fat one” and “Battle Cow”.
He even went on to mock her by modifying her theme song to “I’m not a monster, I’m a Battle Cow”. You can watch it below:

Below is what Nia had to say about this:
I’m guessing he wants attention @GrimsToyShow for his horrible behavior, making fun of my weight (which is completely unoriginal ?), but what gets me is that he’s shouting degrading things toward women in front of a young girl. Good job buddy https://t.co/7kfmJXaac0

Grim then went on to apologize to Nia and deleted his YouTube video:
I’m so sorry @NiaJaxWWE I feel like a total piece of crap now. I hope you will accept my apology and I will remove that video. I’m a huge fan of all involved in the women’s and Men’s rumble, sometimes I get carried away “trying” to be “shocking” ?? https://t.co/RZz4WGYQAg

I messed up this time guys and I’m sorry. I’ll work very hard to be better. I sent an apology to @NiaJaxWWE and removed the video.
