WEATHER ISSUES COULD ALTER COLLISION SHOW

- There could be some changes to tonight's Collision in Athens, Georgia as several of the AEW roster are having difficulty making it to the location due to the weather. With flights either delayed or canceled, AEW President Tony Khan said that many of the stars are driving into town for the show as bad weather continues to hammer the southeast of the United States. No matter what though, there will be a live broadcast on TNT and Max tonight...it's just going to be a bit of a headache with re-writes if those penciled in for the broadcast do not make it to Athens in time. Announced so far for the show are Harley Cameron vs Mariah May, Cope vs Big Bill, Dax Harwood vs Chris Jericho, and Pac vs Komander.

DYNAMITE RATING

- Dynamite this week drew 615,000 viewers for the return of Kenny Omega, up 27,000 viewers from the New Year's Day episode of the show. In 18-49, Dynamite drew a 0.17 rating, up 0.01 from last week and was #6 on the top 50 cable chart for the night. The number of viewers does not reflect the audience watching on Max.

BAYLEY VS STRATTON FOR WWE WOMEN'S TITLE SET FOR NEXT WEEK

- WWE Women's champion Tiffany Stratton will make her first title defense on next week's Smackdown against former champion herself, Bayley. A fatal four-way number one contenders match was held last night on Smackdown featuring Bayley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, and Nia Jax. Bayley won the match after pinning Naomi following the Rose Plant. Stratton, who successfully cashed in her MITB briefcase on Jax last week, was clearly the big favorite before the match during an in-ring segment. She got interrupted by Nia Jax, who called her an "ungrateful little shit" for what she did to her last week and that was followed by further interruptions by Bayley, Naomi, and Belair. Smackdown GM Nick Aldis eventually made the match which kicked off immediately after the segment.

ROMAN REIGNS ENTERS THE ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH

- Roman Reigns will be part of the 30-man over-the-top-rope Royal Rumble match after his Wiseman, Paul Heyman, announced Reigns' intentions of winning the match to get his WWE Championship back from Cody Rhodes. The last time Reigns was in the Rumble match was in 2020, entering the match at #26 and then being eliminated by the eventual winner, Drew McIntyre. He is a four-time runner-up in this match, being the last one eliminated in 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2020, and won the match once in 2015. He is the second in the chart of most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match, with 12 eliminations in 2014. Reigns joins the already-announced CM Punk and John Cena in this match. The Royal Rumble takes place on Saturday, February 1 from the Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over 50,000 tickets have been distributed already and tickets are available at .

ODYSSEY JONES SAYS HE IS TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ACCUSER

- Odyssey Jones, the former WWE Superstar who was fired out of the blue with no explanation at the time, posted a video on his social media today saying that he is taking legal action against his accuser for what he calls false allegations. It was later revealed after he was released that Jones was being accused of domestic violence. "These false claims are coming from a party that I used to priorly engage with. And I apologize for taking so long addressing these false claims, but I had to patiently wait to get an injunction set in place to protect my family, my friends, and myself," Jones said in the video. "I’m currently taking legal action against said party, so I can’t speak too much more on it, but there will be more information to come," he continued. Jones thanked WWE for the "amazing opportunity" they gave him and for bringing him on and also thanked the coaches he worked with for helping him work on his craft. He ended the video saying that he will be accepting bookings for 2025 and thanked everyone for their support. Prior to being released, Jones was put in an angle with The New Day and seemed to be heading towards being the newest member of the faction. The angle was dropped abruptly after he was fired.

FORMER NXT WRITER JIM SMALLMAN GETS NEW POSITION

- A month after he announced his resignation from the NXT creative team to relocate back to the United Kingdom to "be a better dad," Jim Smallman posted on his LinkedIn that he has a new job with WWE. "Delighted to share that I’m starting a new position as International Talent Scout at WWE," Smallman wrote. "Have loved my six years of working for WWE so far, and it’s wonderful that I can now combine being back in the UK for my family with still contributing to the business that I adore so much." Smallman said that with all WWE shows on Netflix in Europe, it's a very exciting time for professional wrestling in the continent and he's looking forward to see what the future holds. The co-founder of British indie promotion PROGRESS wrote 216 episodes of NXT UK, 150 episodes of Level Up, worked on 190 episodes of NXT, and produced hundreds of in-ring and backstage promos.
