SMACKDOWN RATING

- Smackdown did a total of 2,580,000 viewers last night, off hours 2,616,000 in the first hour and 2,544,000 in the second hour. That was 78,000 viewers up from last week's broadcast. Smackdown beat every show in the 18-49 demo, helped by repeats airing on CBS which is usually the main competition. In viewership however, Smackdown only beat The CW and ABC's Fresh Off The Boat and trailed everything else, including repeats. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

STIPULATIONS ADDED TO TWO RUMBLE MATCHES

- Two Royal Rumble matches got a stipulation added to them while two new matches have been confirmed for next week's pay-per-view. The Universal title match between The Fiend and Daniel Bryan will now be a strap match, a match which hasn't been done in WWE for quite a long time. Meanwhile, Reigns vs Corbin is now a falls count anywhere match after Reigns picked the stipulation last night on Smackdown. The two new matches feature Sheamus vs Shorty G and Smackdown Women's champion Bayley defending against Lacey Evans. Braun Strowman and Shinsuke Nakamura were the latest two added to the 30-man over-the-top rope Rumble match. 19 entrants are so far confirmed for this match.

KAIRI SANE RETURNS TO THE RING AFTER OVER A MONTH SIDELINED

- One half of the WWE Women's Tag Team champions, Kairi Sane, made her return to the ring last night after she was injured at the TLC pay-per-view in early December. The Japanese former NXT champion was pretty beat up and suffered a concussion during the tables, ladders, and chairs match against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. She got hit in the head by a flying monitor and then took a suplex on the floor, banging her head on the unprotected part of the aisle. After the match, Asuka, Flair, and Lynch praised Sane for being a true warrior. In her return match, Sane and Asuka teamed up with Sarah Logan to take on Natalya, Lynch, and Flair. Despite losing the match, Sane was happy for her return. "I'm back I love wrestling," she wrote on Twitter.

NIKKI BELLA TO GUEST STAR ON NICKELODEON'S THE SUBSTITUTE PRANK SHOW

- Former WWE Divas champion Nikki Bella will be a guest star on Nickelodeon's prank show The Substitute according to TheWrap.com. The show transforms celebrities into unrecognizable people to prank children, with Nikki pranking the kids at Las Palmas Middle School in Covina, California. Her sister Brie will also be part of the episode. First, Nikki will play an eccentric gym teacher, then an awkward speech teacher, and then a career counselor obsessed with clowns. A team of Hollywood special effects artists will help Nikki transform herself before she unveils her real identity. The featured school receives a donation of $25,000. The episode will air on Friday, January 31 at 8PM ET.

MARTHA HART AND FAMILY FILM INTERVIEWS FOR DARK SIDE OF THE RING EPISODE ON OWEN

- The Owen Hart Foundation Twitter account posted that the Vice Media crew flew to Calgary to film interviews with Dr. Martha Hart, the wife of the late Owen Hart, and other members of their family for their upcoming Dark Side Of The Ring series. Martha has been very, very strict when it comes giving such interviews to the media but the highly-acclaimed series received major thumbs up from fans and critics for the first season last year. When producers approached Hart to dedicate an episode of the show on the death of Owen Hart, the family accepted. The second season is set to air sometime this year and will feature 10 episodes. The first season had six total episodes and focused on Macho Man Randy Savage, the Montreal Screwjob, The Von Erich family, the death of Gino Hernandez, the murder of Bruiser Brody, and The Fabulous Moolah. Martha remains at odds with WWE over the death of her husband and has blocked all attempts by WWE to induct Owen into the WWE Hall of Fame.
