JD MCDONAGH INJURED DURING SCARY SPOT ON RAW
- JD McDonagh can thank his lucky stars for avoiding a catastrophic injury last night on Raw, although he still walked out with a pretty serious injury that will keep him out for months. McDonagh, who teamed with Dom Mysterio to take on The War Raiders for the WWE World Tag Team titles on Raw, went for a springboard moonsault to the outside and his hand bounced off the announce table in a nasty, nasty spot. The scary incident led to Michael Cole repeatedly asking for help to check on the Irish star. The referee and Mysterio slid out of the ring to check on him during the replay as Cole once again asked for someone to come out and help. McDonagh then went on the apron and received an applause from the Atlanta crowd for his courage and was once again checked by Mysterio and the referee, with McAfee saying that the "thickness of his head" might have saved him. He continued to work the rest of the match but was visibly in pain. After the match ended, McDonagh was taken to a nearby hospital to be checked. "I've got a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung, so I'm going to be out for a couple months," he wrote on X after. "All things considered, it could have been a lot worse, so I'm grateful for that." You can see the incident at .


MORE NAMES ADDED TO THE 2025 ROYAL RUMBLE MATCHES
- New entrants in the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches were announced last night on Monday Night Raw on Netflix. Four men declared for the Rumble including former United States champion Logan Paul, Intercontinental champion Bron Breakker, Chad Gable, and newcomer Penta. Carmelo Hayes, who attacked Cody Rhodes after Raw, also declared his intention to be in the Rumble off the air. This brings the total number of entrants to 14. Meanwhile, three women threw in their names as well for the match. Former WWE Women's champion Iyo Sky, Ivy Nile, and current WWE Women's Intercontinental champion Lyra Valkyria are now part of the nine women who have been confirmed.

JORDYNNE GRACE SIGNS WITH WWE
- Fightful is reporting through the Select service that former TNA Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace has signed a multi-year deal with WWE. Grace wrapped up her TNA duties at the Genesis pay-per-view with a final match - and loss - against Tessa Blanchard and was immediately offered the deal. She was at the WWE Performance Center last week and is expected to make her debut as a WWE Superstar imminently. Grace already has a Royal Rumble appearance under her belt as she was one of the surprise entrants last year and is expected to be part of this year's Rumble as well. She also appeared multiple times on NXT as the TNA Knockouts champion. Her signing with WWE was wildly expected and it was just a matter of when, not if.


SMACKDOWN RATING
- Friday Night Smackdown on USA Network pulled in 1,455,000 viewers for the three-hour broadcast last week, up 52,000 viewers from the prior week.

KAI CENAT INVITED TO THE ROYAL RUMBLE
- Popular streamer Kai Cenat was invited to the Royal Rumble last night on Raw by Pat McAfee on behalf of WWE. The 23-year-old life-long WWE fan was attending his first WWE live event ever and received a big pop from the Atlanta crowd. Cenat is the fifth most-followed streamer on Twitch with nearly 16 million subscribers and another seven million on YouTube. Last week, Triple H also invited another popular streamer, iShowSpeed, giving him full access to the show to stream live wherever he wants.


ZELINA VEGA MOVES TO SMACKDOWN
- Zelina Vega is leaving the LWO and is moving to Friday Night Smackdown, becoming the latest star to move in the transfer window. This will put her on the same brand as Andrade. The two worked together while in NXT and also on the main roster when they were called up in 2018. The transfer window will be closing at the Royal Rumble. Only a few Superstars traded brands since it was announced in December, with Smackdown getting the bulk of them since it now has expanded to three hours. Joining Vega on Smackdown are The Wyatt Sicks, Damian Priest, The Miz, and Braun Strowman, while Grayson Waller, Austin Theory, and Bayley went the opposite way.
