Announced for Hall of Fame
WWE announces Alundra Blayze, also known as Madusa, will join the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015 on March 28.
Returns from injury
Lee returns to action on Monday Night Raw after being sidelined with a neck injury to assist former rival Paige, who is being attacked by the Bella Twins.
Madusa vs Evan Karagias – Cruiserweight title
Madusa defeats Karagias to become the first female WCW Cruiserweight Champion in history at Starrcade.
WCW-debut
Madusa debuts on WCW Monday Nitro by showing up with the WWF Women’s title belt, which she never lost, and dropping it a trash can on live television.
I was under contract and was told to do what I had to do, and if not, you’re fired and would have no income coming in. Eric Bischoff told me that I had to put the WWE women’s title in the trash on television, or that was it.
Blayze vs Nakano – Women’s title
Blayze successfully defends her WWF Women’s Championship against Nakano at SummerSlam.
First WWF Women’s Title
Madusa, as her World Wrestling Federation persona Alundra Blayze, wins her first WWF Women’s Championship by defeating Heidi Lee Morgan in the finals of a six-woman tournament.
Eliminated from NXT
Lee is eliminated from the all-female NXT Season 3 competition.
I’ve wanted this my entire life and I have fought to get here. Every step I have taken has been for this moment, to be in this ring, and there is not one thing that is ever going to stop me. So if you think that this is the last time you’ve seen AJ you are sorely mistaken because I will be back and I am going to accomplish all of my dreams.
Joins NXT
Lee joins the all-female third season of NXT.
I’m representing all the nerds out there. You know, not every girl is into pink and heels, you can be different. I’ve never dreamed of being anything but a Diva. There’s no getting rid of me.
Signs WWE contract
Lee signs her first contract with World Wrestling Entertainment after paying $1,500 to participate in a tryout and begins working in the company’s developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.
I began saving my money. I just thought, whether I get signed or not, they just need to see me. Fate must have taken over, because I was so skinny and didn’t know how to do my hair and makeup. I was just a blank canvas, and they took a chance on me.
Launches website
Lee officially launches her website, AJ-Brooks.com. The site includes photos, wrestling news, merchandise, information on pet adoption and more.
Retains title
Rousey retains her bantamweight title after defeating Cat Zingano by armbar submission in fourteen seconds at UFC 148.
I was thinking that Cat might try and come and jump in on me right away because so many people were telling her that she was a slow starter and I’ve seen her try to do flying knees in the beginning. Because no one’s ever charged me before so they might think that might work. And the armbar, where it was behind the arm, I was practicing that completely facing a different direction but I’m glad I could adapt in a really weird scramble like that.
The Daily Show appearance
Rollins appears on The Daily Show to challenge host Jon Stewart to a meeting on WWE’s Monday Night Raw.
Denies Green Lantern rumors
Rodriguez denies rumors that she will star in Green Lantern when asked about the role by TMZ.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I think it’s so stupid because of this whole minorities in Hollywood thing. Stop stealing all the white people’s superheroes. Make up your own, you know what I’m saying? What’s up with that?
House of Cards Season 3
Season 3 of House of Cards, starring Spacey and Robin Wright, premieres on Netflix in its entirety. On the Netflix model of releasing an entire season in one go:
I love it. It’s what the audience wants and if you give people what they want they’ll probably buy it and they won’t steal it.

Banks confirms via Twitter that she has been scanned for the WWE 2K16 video game due to be released in late 2015.

@StephMcMahon Your female wrestlers have record selling merchandise & have starred in the highest rated segment of the show several times,
— AJ Mendez (@TheAJMendez) February 25, 2015
@StephMcMahon And yet they receive a fraction of the wages & screen time of the majority of the male roster. #UseYourVoice

Star Trek
Nimoy portrays “Spock” in the premiere of Star Trek, an NBC science fiction television series also starring William Shatner and DeForest Kelley. On landing the role:
I did this job in an episode of The Lieutenant series for Gene Roddenberry. A few weeks after I finished the job my agent called me and said, ‘Gene Roddenberry, producer of The Lieutenant show, saw the footage, was interested in you, liked what you did, and said that he has in mind for you a role in a pilot that he’s developing for a science fiction series.” Period. I really didn’t give it a lot of thought. You hear that kind of thing and you’re a long way from getting a job.
