CM PUNK TELLS MIZ TO "GO SUCK A BLOOD MONEY COVERED DICK"
- CM Punk responded in a not so kind way to The Miz after Miz took a small dig at Punk on Twitter following the conclusion of last night's WWE Backstage episode on FS1. In a video posted by the WWEonFOX Twitter account, Miz is seen saying that they just finished filming Backstage and felt like "this was the best WWE Backstage episode ever." Young then said that Ember Moon's show from a couple of weeks ago was pretty good too, to which Miz responded, "Oh sorry I didn't change the culture. My bad." The dig was at CM Punk's first words uttered when he came out as a surprise on the show, with Punk closing the show saying that when they think they have all the answers, he changes the culture. CM Punk was quick to respond, although now the tweet has been deleted. Punk replied with, "Go suck a blood money covered dick in Saudi Arabia you f*cking dork." The video from WWEonFOX was also later deleted. You can see the video and Punk's tweet at


NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR NXT'S NORTH AMERICAN TITLE TO BE DECIDED TONIGHT
- NXT is back live on USA Network following a two-week break of live broadcasts from Full Sail University. As expected, AEW enjoyed a big victory over NXT last week but things could be much closer tonight. The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament kicks off tonight with two matches scheduled to take place, including The Forgotten Sons vs Imperium and Undisputed Era vs Gallus. The broadcast will be headlined by a fatal four-way match where the winner will be announced the new number one contender for the North American title currently held by Roderick Strong. Those in the match are Keith Lee, Dominik Dijakovic, Damian Priest, and Cameron Grimes.


MERCEDES MARTINEZ SIGNS WITH WWE
- The website SoCalUncensored.com is reporting that Mercedes Martinez has signed a deal with WWE and will be reporting to the WWE Performance Center this month. The 39-year-old Connecticut native has been wrestling for the past 20 years and worked for Shimmer, ROH, wXw, Women Superstars Uncensored, and several indies throughout her career. She also appeared at the AEW All Out pay-per-view in August where she was part of the Casino Battle Royale and in November participated in a taping of AEW Dark. Martinez also has a few WWE matches under her belt. She was part of the 2017 and 2018 Mae Young Classic tournaments, losing in the semi-finals to Shayna Baszler in the first one and then got eliminated in the second round by Meiko Satomura in the 2018 tournament. After the first tournament in 2017, she also had a couple of NXT TV appearances.


RAW PREVIEW
- The first Raw of 2020 did 2,384,000 viewers, down 55,000 viewers from last week's broadcast which was headlined by the Lana and Lashley wedding. Hour one did 2,550,000 viewers, followed by 2,409,000 viewers in the second hour, before falling off to 2,195,000 viewers in the third and final hour. Raw lost 355,000 viewers from the first to the third hour. Raw was #1, #2, and #3 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic and #8 in overall viewership for the night on cable.
