Drew McIntyre’s Royal Rumble Opponent Confirmed
While he has still initiated quarantine after being tested positive for COVID-19, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre told his fans and the rest of the WWE Universe that he doesn’t have any symptoms so far and still willing to challenge anybody for his title.
Well, as hinted last week on Legends Night on Raw, WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW Champion Goldberg will challenge the Scotsman for his WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble. The WWE Championship is something that has eluded Goldberg for his entire career, and we could be looking at a new world champion come January 31.
Drew won the Royal Rumble event last year, followed by beating Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania to win his first world title in WWE. His run has been interesting considering there hasn’t been much live fanfare because of the pandemic, but it’s been seen as a positive run so far from fans and one of the strongest-looking champs in recent memory. Goldberg could be the challenge that Drew needs to really cement him “the guy” right now.

Unboxing Microsoft’s 85″ Surface Hub Looks Like A Tough Job
One of the wilder gadgets that an office can use to conduct business with from anywhere on the planet is Microsoft’s Surface Hub 2S, a whiteboard-killer that has an absurd screen size of 85 inches.
More than just a massive panel for Zoom meetings though, the Surface Hub 2S has a 4K PixelSense touch and ink enabled screen, Microsoft Teams certified audio and video, and onboard sensors. It also has a hefty recommended retail price of $9,000 for the base model and $12,000 for the device with optional extras included.
That price tag doesn’t include an additional pair of hands either, as unboxing the gigantic display is a two-person job at a minimum:
Special-Edition Mario Nintendo Switch Console Features A Red & Blue Paintjob
Nintendo dropped more details on Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, along with the announcement of a new special-edition Nintendo Switch console coming alongside the game. The Nintendo Switch – Mario Red & Blue Edition comes with a paint job to match the plucky plumber and sells for the same price as a standard Nintendo Switch console.
The Switch is all-red matched to Mario’s cap and shirt, with red Joy-Con controllers and blue Joy-Con grips to imitate his iconic suspender straps. As Nintendo notes in the announcement, this is the first time the Nintendo Switch itself has gotten a new color aside from the standard black that it has been from the beginning. (The Animal Crossing Switch had a special pattern on the back.) The system also includes a Mario-styled carrying case.
The Mario Red & Blue Edition is coming February 12, for $300. Check out our Super Mario 3D World preorder guide for more details.
