3. Satin Sheets & Making Paper

Ryan Satin's weekly "scoop" yet again wasn't particularly thrilling considering the potential headlines he obviously has to hold on to, but there was at least some added spice to the well-publicised Kofi Kingston contract news.

Satin confirmed that both Big E and Xavier Woods also signed on alongside Kofi for five more years, with Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford also extending their stays and bank balances as part of WWE's future.

Happy Christmas to all the lads, and it behooves WWE to publicise this sort of thing. The very network hosting this very show has injected a billion dollars into the coffers, so it's about time the wrestlers saw some of them.
