WWE
The coronavirus HASN’T effected one thing, wrestling. WWE has announced that RAW, SmackDown, and Wrestlemania are all still going forward as planned, just without a live audience. And looks like they will be broadcast from the Orlando training facility. Though, FS1 has announced that their Backstage program will be postponed as part of a studio wide delay for at least one week. The XFL, though, has been cancelled for the remainder of the season, with a promise to return next season and “in future years.”

Rumor Mill
The Flash
Now they are afraid that Mirror Master will be gender-swapped.
Silent Hills
Sony is reportedly mediating the split between Kojima Productions and Konami. According to the rumor that announcement we were supposed to get this week (and DIDN’T!) was supposed to be about the fact that the Silent Hills game is back on. With the Silent Hill reboot in the works it COULD have some legs… or it could be wishful thinking.
Death Stranding
“Something Death Stranding” is rumored to be announced sometime this year… well that’s specific!
