Heath Slater Done Refereeing?, Jonathan Coachman Shares Special Message, Asuka Title Shoot Video

- Last night's WWE TLC pay-per-view saw referee Heath Slater join Apollo Crews, Finn Balor and RAW Tag Team Champions Bobby Roode & Chad Gable to help the injured Braun Strowman defeat Baron Corbin, which caused Corbin to lose all General Manager powers. Above is post-match video of Slater, who said he's happy and hoping to go back to being a WWE Superstar. Slater ended the segment by removing his referee shirt.

- Below is backstage video from Asuka's first photo shoot as SmackDown Women's Champion. The Empress of Tomorrow won the title in the main event of last night's WWE TLC pay-per-view, defeating Charlotte Flair and former champion Becky Lynch after an assist from RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey.

Jonathan Coachman Says WWE's Fox Deal Is Thanks To The Work He Did With ESPN

- Jonathan Coachman took to Instagram after last night's WWE TLC Kickoff pre-show and shared an important message with fans, noting that his father underwent a heart transplant on Thursday. Coach called 2018 "an emotional year of transition" as he went from ESPN back to WWE. You can read his full post below:

Today was the final show for me in 2018. It has been an emotional year of transition and believing in the process that I chose to take. This past week I was reminded that things in life can turn on a dime. The most giving man I have ever known was told without a heart transplant he would not live. On Thursday my father received a new heart and is now recovering and adjusting to what is hopefully another 30 years together. While I am thrilled that we received a heart we also have to show compassion for a family that had to experience loss for my family to keep a life going. This changes you and your perspective on life. I head into 2019 with a new found respect and appreciation for each day, each relationship, and each breath I have the privilege to take. I hope whoever reads this stops for a second when you want to be negative, mean, or feel sorry for yourself and instead chooses hope and positivity. Life is precsious. God bless you all.
