Sean White They call me The Bull. I also go by Sean. I'm the guy who created this monster. I'm the Director of the Wrestle Network Ltd company and I'm the main administrator and content creator on the Wrestle.Network site. In addition to being the man behind the madness, I'm also a musician, composer and producer. I have my own professional-grade studio at home where I operate my own digital record label (releases pending). I'm not intentionally trying to become Vince McMahon, but the daily work hours, isolated lifestyle and knack for new concepts does give me common ground with him. For all his draw-backs, and what some would consider flaws, at least Vince is a good role model for how to dominate the business world and take a humble notion and turn that dream into a reality. At 31 years old, I currently live in the north of England in the UK, though I also spend a fair amount of time at my family's place in Spain, or vacationing elsewhere.

During the WWE Royal Rumble Kickoff show last night in Phoenix, Arizona, WWE Hall of Famer "The Heart-Break Kid" Shawn Michaels announced that as a result of a post-show brawl after NXT TakeOver: Phoenix the previous night, between Alesteir Black, Tommaso Ciampa, Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Velveteen Dream and Adam Cole (bay-bay), a 6-Man tag team match has been set for next Sunday, pitting Black, Dream and Ricochet against the former DIY members and Cole.
The match will take place live on WWE Network, WWE.com, the WWE app and across WWE's social media channels: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Watch how this bout came to be, by witnessing the brawl below:
What's curious about this one-off NXT match-up is that it will take place during half-time of the NFL SuperBowl. Michaels also confirmed after Kickoff show host Jonathan Coachman let slip, that he will be providing guest commentary for the match. You can check out the announcement in the video below:
The popular band Maroon 5 have been announced to play during the SuperBowl broadcast's half-time show, and WWE is using this as part of their marketing in hopes of swaying potential viewers to tune in to NXT, by simply asking "Why?", as you can see in the trailer below:
Younger fans could be forgiven for thinking that this is a revolutionary first-time-ever moment for WWE, but unfortunately you'd be wrong: WWE have indeed done this before at the end of January 1999 when none other than The Rock faced off in a brutal "Empty Arena Match" against Mankind (Mick Foley) as The Great One defended his WWE Championship - and yep, you guessed it; it aired during the SuperBowl half-time and millions tuned in to watch the alternative entertainment on offer!
See for yourself as WWE takes a look-back at this moment in history:
Will you be tuning in on Sunday February 3rd 2019 as Alesteir Black, Velveteen Dream and Ricochet look to resolve their disputes with NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, newly-crowned North American Champion Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole? How will this affect the NXT Heavyweight and North American Championship pictures afterwards? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
