//->> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITOR

Five vs five at WarGames is the way to go, but who will be the final two members? I hope The Rock is one of them, because it makes sense, but I don't want Cody to be the other one.

WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH SET FOR SURVIVOR SERIES

- The WWE World Heavyweight title will be on the line at the Survivor Series as champion Gunther will defend his gold against former champion Damian Priest. Priest became the number one contender for the title after he won a fatal four-way match on Raw in Saudi Arabia last week, defeating Seth Rollins, Dominik Mysterio, and Sheamus. The match was not confirmed for Survivor Series and there were rumors it might be saved for Saturday Night's Main Event, but last night on Raw, Gunther and Priest had a face-off in the ring and the match was officially announced on the card. Gunther defeated Priest to win the title at SummerSlam after Finn Balor turned on his former Judgment Day stablemate.

DAKOTA KAI RETURNS

- Dakota Kai returned on Raw last night to reunite with Damage CTRL following an absence of three months. Kai joined Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane in a six-woman tag team match against Pure Fusion Collective, and they defeated Stark, Baszler, and Deville in their first match back together. The Kiwi star has been out for the past three months after she suffered a torn meniscus and was attacked by Pure Fusion Collective in a backstage segment on Raw prior to her scheduled match against Sonya Deville. The attack was a way to write her off television. There's still another Damage CTRL member out on the sidelines as Asuka is still recovering from knee surgery she underwent in May.

CM PUNK ADDED TO MSG BOXING DAY WWE EVENT

- CM Punk will be wrestling at the annual Madison Square Garden Boxing Day WWE non-televised live event next month. Punk actually wrestled his first match back in WWE after he returned at the Survivor Series in the same place, taking on Dominik Mysterio in front of a packed MSG. Tickets for this show, which has become a tradition, start from $70.65 plus taxes and fees and are available at Ticketmaster.com.

SMACKDOWN RATING

- Friday Night Smackdown on USA Network drew 1,536,000 viewers last week, up 108,000 viewers from the prior week and the highest since October 11. The show had a 0.47 rating in 18-49, up 0.05 from the prior week. Smackdown was #1 on cable and #1 in overall television, even beating college football on FOX. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)

ROH FINAL BATTLE AND COLLISION LIVE FROM HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM

- Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast is reporting that Ring of Honor's Final Battle show will be held from the Hammerstein Ballroom on December 20, marking ROH's return to the popular wrestling location after five years. The last ROH show at the Hammerstein Ballroom took place in July 2019, with the broadcast airing a few weeks later in August. Zarian also reports that Collision will be live from the same location the following night on Saturday, December 21. It will be the first show carrying the AEW banner at the Hammerstein.

RAMPAGE RATING

- Rampage on Friday night drew 237,000 viewers, up 65,000 viewers from last week's record low. The show had a 0.07 rating in 18-49, up 0.02 from the previous week and finished #16 on the top 50 cable chart for the night. (Ratings credit: Programming Insider)

MVP SAYS IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE WWE DUE TO NEW MANAGEMENT

- In a short interview dropped yesterday on the Drop The Heat YouTube channel taped at the Heels Have Eyes III indie show in Chicago, MVP said that the reason he left WWE is because it was time for him to go and it was his decision not to re-sign. "I let it be known that I wasn’t going to re-sign because the new management in place, anytime...I don’t care where you work, when new management comes in, it’s good for some people and not for other people," MVP said. MVP was openly critical of Triple H in the past, and with Triple H now running things in the company, MVP said it was definitely time to leave. "The new management just wasn’t for me and I ain’t for him," he said laughing. MVP is now in AEW along with Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley, reuniting as The Hurt Syndicate.

JACK PERRY GETS WRESTLE DYNASTY MATCH

- Another AEW star has booked a match on the Wrestle Dynasty pay-per-view, the joint show between New Japan Pro-Wrestling, AEW, ROH, CMLL, and Stardom. Current TNT champion Jack Perry will collide with Yota Tsuji in a singles match but the TNT title is not on the line, assuming Perry will still be champion by then. The match comes after Perry attacked Tsuji last weekend at the NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed show in Lowell, Massachusetts. The Young Bucks will also be in action for the first time in Japan since starting with AEW although their opponents have not been named yet. Ricochet and AEW International champion Konosuke Takeshita are also on the card. The show takes place on January 5 live from the Tokyo Dome the night after Wrestle Kingdom 19. It's a new pay-per-view event which is NJPW's version of the Forbidden Door AEW pay-per-view.

LINDA MCMAHON RUMORED FOR SECRETARY OF COMMERCE POSITION

- Rumors coming out from President-elect Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago camp suggest that former WWE President and Chief Executive Officer Linda McMahon will be given a spot in the cabinet as the Secretary of Commerce. McMahon currently co-leads the transition team and is one of Trump's most trusted advisers apart from being a long-time friend. This would be her second time forming part of Trump's cabinet as she served as the Administrator of the SBA last time around. This position as Secretary of Commerce is a big upgrade over her last position. Linda donated over $10 million to Trump's 2024 election campaign and was on stage with him to celebrate in the early hours of the morning after results showed that Trump will be elected president.

DWAYNE JOHNSON NAMED GQ'S 2024 ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR

- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was named Entertainer of the Year in GQ's 2024 Men of the Year issue. To celebrate it, Johnson participated in the GQ Video Cover Story, a feature that delivers all the access and depth of a classic GQ print profile, but does it via long-form digital video. The 30-minute video features reporter Zach Baron and it is directed by Cole Evelev and Noel Howard. "It’s hard for Dwayne Johnson to hide. Wherever he goes, there he is — as conspicuous out in the world as he is on the silver screen," the print profile says. "But after two decades of playing a version of himself in huge movies, suddenly he is ready to do something entirely new: vanish." You can see the video and read the feature at .
