Match #1: Sheamus def. Ludwig Kaiser The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Making his return after a month on the shelf, Ludwig Kaiser wasted no time attacking The Celtic Warrior, engaging in a fight before the bell rang. Kaiser used his cunning tactics to take down Sheamus, feigning injury to sucker him into an attack. Kaiser even tried using 10 Beats of the Bodhran, but Sheamus was able to turn it around. Just as Sheamus looked to put Kaiser away, Pete Dunne emerged to try and ambush The Celtic Warrior with a Shillelagh, but his attempt backfired. Despite Dunne’s interference, Sheamus hit a Brogue Kick to win the match.

Rhea Ripley stands out as one of the most powerful female wrestlers globally today. Her remarkable physique, characterized by significant muscle mass, sets her apart from the average wrestler. This impressive physique is the result of rigorous gym sessions and a disciplined diet.
Initially, Ripley’s body was noticeably leaner when she began her career, lacking the muscular definition that now defines her. Over the years, her physique has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving impressively to its current state.
Rhea Ripley’s Insane Body Transformation Is Truly Inspirational
What a difference seven years can make. The evolution of a WWE Superstar throughout their career is something fans truly appreciate, and Rhea Ripley exemplifies this notion perfectly. Her journey demonstrates that the early stages of a wrestler’s career may not accurately depict the Superstar they’ll become in the future. However, this transformation hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Ripley.

Twitch and WWE are making things official.
The two have signed a multiyear partnership for “live and exclusive content” across WWE’s flagship channel (which is rebooting as part of the deal) as well as “popular WWE Superstar channels,” according to a press release.
Part of that live, exclusive content is a weekly companion sidecast to Monday Night Raw, where a “rotating cast of hosts” and WWE stars will offer behind-the-scenes content like backstage interviews. That sidecast kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. on WWE’s channel, which has just under 140,000 followers.
The channel will also “serve as an alternate live streaming feed for all of WWE’s premium live event press conferences,” WWE said.
WWE has a contentious history with Twitch–not because of any beef between them, but because in 2020, WWE barred its wrestlers from having their own Twitch channels…unless they agreed to give the org a cut of their earnings.
The two have signed a multiyear partnership for “live and exclusive content” across WWE’s flagship channel (which is rebooting as part of the deal) as well as “popular WWE Superstar channels,” according to a press release.
Part of that live, exclusive content is a weekly companion sidecast to Monday Night Raw, where a “rotating cast of hosts” and WWE stars will offer behind-the-scenes content like backstage interviews. That sidecast kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. on WWE’s channel, which has just under 140,000 followers.
The channel will also “serve as an alternate live streaming feed for all of WWE’s premium live event press conferences,” WWE said.
WWE has a contentious history with Twitch–not because of any beef between them, but because in 2020, WWE barred its wrestlers from having their own Twitch channels…unless they agreed to give the org a cut of their earnings.

Match #1: Bianca Belair def. Iyo Sky The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
“The Est of WWE” Bianca Belair proved once again why she is the gold standard in WWE, as she knocked off a very game Iyo Sky to retain her Raw Women’s Title and become the longest-reigning women’s champion of the modern era.

The past met the future as John Cena challenged Austin Theory for Cena’s signature title, the United States Championship. It was the youngster who defeated his childhood idol to kick off WrestleMania 39.

They were soon interrupted by The Street Profits, and it wasn’t long before the two tandems engaged in a pre-match brawl. In the subsequent matchup, The Street Profits used tag team precision against Jimmy. They didn’t realize, however, that Solo was actually the legal Superstar. After launching Ford off the top rope to the ringside floor, Sikoa blasted Dawkins with the Samoan Spike for the three-count.

It’s Jan. 4, just one day before Vince McMahon would come crashing back into the WWE, but if new creative head Paul “Triple H” Levesque knew something was afoot, he hid it well. “F–k if I know,” Levesque told Variety, when asked how McMahon was biding his time since leaving the WWE back in July. “I didn’t know what he was up to every day when he was here! I’ll be honest, I don’t know what he’s doing. I think he’s keeping himself busy.”
A day later, the world would know exactly what McMahon was up to. On Jan. 5, it was reported that McMahon was using his power as WWE’s majority shareholder to return as the executive chairman of the board of directors to help negotiate new media rights deals and to explore a sale of the company.

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly… Let’s see what went down this week!
Match #1: WWE Tag Team Championship – The Usos def. Matt Riddle & Kevin Owens The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
After Elias was taken out by The Bloodline before Monday Night Raw got underway, Matt Riddle was looking isolated. Luckily for him, he found someone who dislikes The Bloodline as much as he does in the form of Kevin Owens. Ko and The Original Bro started off well, with The Usos being unable to thwart the offensive onslaught from the get-go. The longest reigning tag team champions turned the tide until a huge Swanton Bomb from Ko nearly upset the pecking order. An attempted Pop-up Powerbomb by Owens was swiftly countered into a superkick, quelling the Ko-Riddle connection. The Usos, along with the help of Sami Zayn,...

Match #1: Rhea Ripley vs. Mia Yim (No-Contest) The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
With both Superstars still battered and bruised from their explosives WarGames Match two days earlier at Survivor Series, Rhea Ripley of The Judgment Day and Mia Yim battled. Before a winner could be determined, however, interference from Dominik Mysterio drew the ire of Aj Styles and, with it, an early end to the match. Within moments, an all-out brawl between Judgment Day and The O.C. erupted and set the stage for an impromptu Eight-Person Tag Team Match between the factions to settle things once-and-for-all.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: The Judgment Day def. The O.C The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Match #1: Bianca Belair def. Nikki Cross The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
After Nikki Cross caused Bianca Belair to lose to Bayley last week, The Est got a piece of the new and vicious Cross, who was more vindictive and unpredictable than ever. Bayley tried to get involved and send Belair to a second straight loss, shoving Belair into the post. The attempt backfired, however, as Cross pushed Bayley to the floor, taking out Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky as well. Cross’ banishment of Damage Ctrl led to Belair planting Cross with the K.O.D. for the win. Following the match, Damage Ctrl put the boots to Belair,...

Match #1: Solo Sikoa def. Sheamus The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
