//->> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITOR
Colin Vassallo -[mailto:editor@...]-

Ah, Friday finally! Haven't worked a full week since the last week of November so this week was looooong and almost never-ending LOL!


========================================================


//->> NEWS FROM THE WRESTLING-ONLINE NEWSWIRE
Web version at

DYNAMITE RATING

- All Elite Wrestling enjoyed a big win in the Wednesday night war, drawing a total of 947,000 viewers, down 20,000 viewers from last week’s show. Dynamite placed #6 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic with a 0.36 rating, the same as last week. Apart from last week’s episode, it was the most watched since the November 13 broadcast. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

MATT HARDY EXPECTED TO LEAVE WWE IN MARCH

- Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that Matt Hardy is expected to leave WWE once his contract is up this March. The former multi-time tag team champion has pitched to return with his Broken character but it looks like WWE creative shot down the idea. Hardy has started creating new videos lately on his social media and Meltzer says that he is the leading candidate according to speculations to be the leader of the Dark Order, the faction in All Elite Wrestling. The Dark Order angle is said to be climaxing with the reveal of a leader. Hardy has not been used much ever since his brother Jeff suffered a leg injury last year and had to undergo surgery. He recently started popping up on TV but has been used in almost squash matches, losing on every occasion. Matt has often said on Twitter that he had to return to WWE to finish the proper way and the Hardy Boyz return at WrestleMania 33 remains one of the most memorable moments in WWE history.

JOHN MORRISON ON MIZ TV TONIGHT

- The recently re-signed John Morrison will be the special guest on Miz TV tonight on Smackdown on FOX, following last week's surprise appearance on the show. Last week, Morrison opened the door when Cathy Kelley went knocking on The Miz's locker room and told her that Miz had nothing else to say for the night. This came after Miz attacked Kofi Kingston. Miz and Morrison are former tag team partners and title holders but their careers went separate ways in 2011, with Morrison departing the promotion. He wrestled mostly on the indies and then went to Lucha Underground and Impact Wrestling. This will be Morrison's first time in a WWE ring on television since his departure in 2011.

NXT RATING

- Despite getting a nice bump from last week’s Best Of episode, NXT finished second in the ratings, getting only 721,000 viewers, up 173,000 viewers from last week’s broadcast. The show however finished 55th in the all-important 18-49 demographic in the cable chart with only a 0.19 rating. The difference between the two shows was a total of 226,000 viewers, a big gap considering what numbers NXT was pulling lately. This was the least-watched episode of NXT – apart from last week’s Best Of episode – since October 30. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

LYNCH DENIES STORY OF NEW $1 MILLION A YEAR DEAL

- WWE Raw Women's champion Becky Lynch has denied the story making the rounds that she has signed a new, five-year deal with WWE worth $1 million per year. Lynch, who is the most popular female wrestler on the roster at the moment, used Twitter to shoot down the report, writing, "Report not true. Haven’t signed anything new in years. Deal coming up soon." Ever since she adopted "The Man" moniker in late 2018, Lynch has skyrocketed in WWE popularity, winning the Royal Rumble last year and then won the main event of WrestleMania, becoming the first female to carry the both Raw and Smackdown titles. The news of her contract expiring was used in the storyline with Asuka late last month on Monday Night Raw.

USA NETWORK RENEWS STRAIGHT UP STEVE AUSTIN FOR SEASON TWO

- On January 8, USA Network announced that it has renewed Straight Up Steve Austin for a second season, the TV show hosted by WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin which features celebrity interviews, adventures, and good, old-fashioned fun. The first season saw Austin cross the country to swap stories with a wide range of notable celebrities, including singer and actor Trace Adkins, NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr., comedian Gabriel Iglesias, WWE Superstar Becky Lynch, NFL Quarterback Baker Mayfield, actor and retired United States Marine Corps Reserve officer Rob Riggle, and star of Impractical Jokers, Sal Vulcano. Season 2 will consist of eight half-hour episodes, with guests still to be announced. It will be produced by Line by Line Media, with Steve Austin and Dave Barsky (Dirty Jobs) as executive producers.
