FIRST WRESTLEMANIA 41 MATCH OFFICIAL

- The first match for WrestleMania 41 was made official last night after Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso picked Gunther as his opponent as he goes after the WWE World Heavyweight title. Gunther, who has promised to make Jey Uso's life a hell until WrestleMania, interrupted the popular star's entrance last night on Raw and laid the smackdown on Uso before being escorted out by referees. It was then when Uso informed Gunther that he will meet him at WrestleMania. Uso has not managed to beat Gunther yet, and his last title shot a week before the Royal Rumble was close, but Gunther found a way over the line. The Austrian star has been champion since SummerSlam. At last year's WrestleMania, Gunther lost the Intercontinental title to Sami Zayn.

Bayley qualified first after she beat WWE Women's Intercontinental champion Lyra Valkyria with a cradle and then in the main event of the broadcast, Logan Paul beat Rey Mysterio in the other qualifying with a new finisher. Bayley joins Liv Morgan, Alexa Bliss, and Bianca Belair so far while Paul joins John Cena, CM Punk, and Drew McIntyre. Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor and Roxanne Perez vs Raquel Rodriguez are the last two qualifying matches from Raw which will take place next week.

AEW TAPING DYNAMITE TONIGHT

- AEW will be taping Dynamite tonight from the H-E-B Center in Austin, Texas as a big crew and staff will be heading to Brisbane, Australia to prepare for Grand Slam. The AEW contingent is expected to head Down Under after tonight's broadcast to give them enough time to recover after the long flight and also do some events in the community leading up to the big day on Saturday. Tickets for Grand Slam: Australia from the Brisbane Entertainment Centre remain available via Ticketek.com.au starting from $20.

THE YOUNG BUCKS LOSE THE IWGP TAG TEAM TITLES

- The Young Bucks lost their IWGP Tag Team titles to Los Ingobernables de Japon at The New Beginning in Osaka earlier today in Japan. The match ended after Tetsuya Naito hit several Destino's finisher on both Nicholas and Matthew, with Nicholas doing the job after one final Destino for good measure. The Young Bucks won the vacant titles during the Wrestle Dynasty pay-per-view on January 5 in a three-way match which also involved United Empire apart from Naito and Takahashi. Their loss means that they held the titles for just 35 days, and this was their first title defense.

MIRO PART WAYS WITH AEW

- Miro and AEW have parted ways after the Bulgarian star was released from his contract after coming to a mutual agreement according to PWInsider.com. Miro was removed from the AEW roster page as well after news hit the Internet. Miro joined AEW in September 2020 and after a stint as TNT champion he wasn't used much on television in the following years. Injuries and outside projects kept him on the shelf for months at a time, wrestling only 11 times from 2022 onward. His last match came at the Worlds End pay-per-view in December 2023, defeating Andrade El Idolo. Miro's ex-wife, CJ "Lana" Perry, wrote on X, "A very happy Miro Day!!!" after it was announced that he has departed AEW.

RICKY STARKS FINALLY GONE FROM AEW

- Miro was not the only one who got his marching orders from AEW last night as after months and months of trying, Ricky Starks finally got his wish too. Starks has been vocal about wanting out of AEW and requested his release from the company last month, a request which was originally denied. Starks joined AEW in June 2020 and was part of the promotion up until he fell out of favor in March of last year. Starks was teaming with Big Bill when things went south for him and wrestled his last match for the company in late March 2024. The former AEW Tag Team champion has wrestled only five times since his last time in an AEW ring and recently won the DEFY World title from Kenta.

MCMAHON ATTORNEY WITHHELD DOCS FROM FEDERAL GRAND JURY

- The Associated Press is running a story where a former lawyer for Vince McMahon was found to have withheld documents from a federal grand jury as McMahon was investigated for his NDAs with two former employees. Three judges on the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower court ruling, saying the documents in question were not protected by attorney-client privilege because of an exception for crime or fraud. In total, 208 pages were withheld illegally. The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan declined to comment while McMahon's representatives said they had no immediate comment on the ruling. McMahon has previously claimed that he is no longer under investigation although the appeals court referred to the ruling which concerns proceedings currently before a grand jury.
