AEW will have its biggest Dynamite audience in a while tonight as Blood and Guts rolls into the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina live on TBS and HBO Max starting at 8PM ET.
For the first time ever there will be two Blood and Guts matches, one with the men and one with the women.
The five on five men’s match will have Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and PAC take on Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly, and Mark Briscoe.
The women’s will be six on six and features Mercedes Mone, Marina Shafir, Megan Bayne, Thekla, Julia Hart, and Skye Blue vs Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale, Toni Storm, Jamie Hayter, Mina Shirakawa, and Harley Cameron.
Plus, “Hangman” Adam Page takes on Powerhouse Hobbs in a falls count anywhere match and two wrestling legends – Ric Flair and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat – will both be appearing as well.
Dynamite has a running time of 2 hours and 30 minutes today as TBS granted them an extra 30 minutes for the special occasion.
WWE has published the top 10 merchandise sellers of 2025. The list was ranked only in alphabetical order and does not reveal who were the biggest sellers.
It was dominated by seven men and three women, one of which only returned in September which should give you an idea of how much merchandise she moved in such a short amount of time.
The list included Alexa Bliss, AJ Lee, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, Jey Uso, John Cena, Penta, Rhea Ripley, and Roman Reigns.
Most of the names are not a surprise at all but stars such as Seth Rollins, LA Knight, and Becky Lynch missed the list.
The November 3 episode of Raw had 2,400,000 global views on Netflix, up 100,000 from the previous week.
The show had an edited running time of 2 hours and 6 minutes and had 5,200,000 global viewing hours. It came in at #9 on the top 10 chart, and barely made it on the list in what would have been a first since it started in January.
Raw was only in the top 10 in nine different countries including Bahrain, Bolivia, Canada, Egypt, India, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, United Kingdom, and United States.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted on Instagram that production for his newest movie, Jumanji 3, has kicked off in Los Angeles with the cast table read.
“What a massive, fun, heartfelt adventure. Feels emotionally appropriate for our beloved JUMANJI franchise to end on this beautiful grace note of our final film,” he wrote.
The movie will be filmed in the Los Angeles area as well.
Johnson noted that “jaws were hurting” from all the laughter after they got the whole gang back together for round three.
“We all talked about how much we’ve missed this kinda joy and fun. Let’s make a good one,” he continued.
The movie is directed by Jake Kasdan and will be released in theaters across the United States in December 2026 by Sony Pictures.
In an interview with Bill Apter, Chavo Guerrero has confirmed that he re-signed with WWE and is assigned to the AAA brand.
Guerrero said that he has a big love for lucha libre and seeing AAA under the WWE umbrella is “pretty awesome.”
Chavo, the nephew of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero, was in the audience for the Worlds Collide show in July in Los Angeles. It was his first appearance on WWE television since 2011. He also returned for the second Worlds Collide show in Las Vegas.
Guerrero was released from WWE in June 2011 after a 10-year stint.
Blood and Guts returns to AEW Dynamite tonight with not one but two matches, one with the men and one with the women.
The match is AEW’s version of the popular WarGames, which became famous during the JCP/WCW days.
Blood and Guts has two rings enclosed by one big steel cage, which follows the original WarGames match unlike WWE’s version, which has open top cage.
The match will feature entrants from each team coming in at regular intervals and the match then officially starts after all members from each team are in the cage.
Blood and Guts can be won only with submission or surrender and exiting the cage is allowed under the AEW rules.
This is the fifth year that AEW is doing Blood and Guts. The first Blood and Guts featured The Pinnacle vs The Inner Circle, which The Pinnacle won. The 2022 match had The Blackpool Combat Club along with Eddie Kingston, Santana, and Ortiz vs The Jericho Appreciation Society where the BCC and company won. 2023 had The Golden Elite vs Blackpool Combat Club, a match won by The Golden Elite. And last year it was Team AEW vs The Elite and Team AEW won that one.
With tonight’s match, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta will each have three appearances in Blood and Guts, the most out of everyone.

WWE and Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment today announced a new long-term strategic partnership which will explore opportunities across multiple areas including exclusive merchandise collaborations, original content development, community-focused programs, and regular cross-brand appearances from team players and WWE Superstars.
Additionally, Monday Night Raw will return to MLSE’s Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Monday, January 26, 2026. WWE Superstars will make appearances at Toronto Maple Leafs games on Sunday, January 25, and Tuesday, January 27, with Toronto sports personalities also in attendance at Monday Night Raw – which will air live on Netflix around the world.

The long-term partnership builds on the existing launch of exclusive licensed WWE Legacy Title Belts with the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors, featuring each team’s iconic colors and official branding.
Alex Varga, Co-Head of Revenue at WWE, said, “Collaborating with an iconic organization like MLSE is a natural extension of WWE’s deep and growing connection with Toronto, which has included recent major events like Money in the Bank in 2024 and Elimination Chamber in 2025, and allows us to create new and authentic experiences for fans to reinforce our long-term commitment to the region.”
Phil King, Chief Business Officer at MLSE, added, “MLSE and WWE have a long and strong history together, teaming up many times over the years to create iconic entertainment moments for our fans, and we are thrilled to expand our partnership with WWE, a global leader in sports and entertainment, to create world-class content and build on Toronto’s standing as a leading market globally.”
Two more WWE Superstars have joined the cast of Walt Disney Animation Studios movie Zootopia 2, voicing the Zebra Buddy Cops.
Originally kept a secret, Roman Reigns and CM Punk were revealed to be the last two on the star-studded cast. The news was published by journalist John McMullen, who credited Paradigm’s Nick LoPiccolo’s children with the scoop.
Paradigm represents both Punk and Reigns.
Late last month, Disney unveiled the final trailer of the animated movie and the full cast of Disney favorites voicing the characters.
Among them was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who voices the character of Zeke, described as “an accident-prone dik-dik who crosses paths with Judy and Nick in a chaotic chase sequence.”
Zootopia 2 is scheduled to be released in the United States by Walt Disney Pictures on November 26 and it’s directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard.
Oba Femi returned to NXT last night during the closing moments of the show after Ricky Saints defeated Trick Williams in a last man standing match to retain the NXT title.
With the credits rolling and Saints in the middle of the ring about to celebrate, the house lights went dark and the green laser shot up as Femi’s theme song kicked in to a big pop from the crowd.
“The ruler is here,” screamed Vic Joseph on commentary, as Femi made his way out, standing at the top of the stage with just his silhouette visible among the smoke and lights.
Femi has been off WWE television since September and the NXT No Mercy premium live event where he lost the NXT title to Saints.
John Cena reflected on a memorable night in Boston, writing on X that it meant a lot for him to be able to do what he did in a place he loves and surrounded by those who he loves.
“Thank you Boston. It meant so much to be able, for one last time, to be allowed an opportunity to do what I love, in a place I love, surrounded by those I love,” Cena wrote.
“Our performances are only meaningful if YOU the audience invest in us and decide they are. The smile on my face and awe in my eyes in this small clip is an honest show of grateful disbelief & appreciation for all you’ve ever invested in me. Last night meant more than I can ever express. Thank you Boston,” he continued.
Cena is now down to three final appearances, one set for this Monday on Raw in Madison Square Garden, one at Survivor Series at Petco Park on November 29, and one at the Capital One Arena on December 13.
Netflix Games has released an exclusive version of WWE 2K25 which will be available to play to all subscribers for free from next week.
A trailer featuring Seth Rollins, Dominik Mysterio, Randy Orton, CM Punk, and Rhea Ripley was published along with gameplay footage.
Titled WWE 2K25: Netflix Edition, the game has action-packed WWE matches, dynamic broadcast-style gameplay, authentic arena entrances and immersive commentary from WWE announcers all in the palm of your hand.
Pre-registration is now open via the Apple App Store and Google Play. The game requires some serious mobile power for iOS and you need at least an iPhone 15 Pro or better to play it.
John Cena finally got his Grand Slam, just a month before he wraps up his illustrious in-ring career which spans 25 years with WWE.
The modern WWE Grand Slam requires someone to win a primary heavyweight championship, a tag team championship, and a secondary championship and Cena qualified after last night’s IC title win.
The Intercontinental championship is a title that Cena has never won in his career before, and last night’s victory against Dominik Mysterio sends his tally to 27 championships in WWE.
During his career, Cena won the WWE championship 14 times and the World Heavyweight title three times, shattering Ric Flair’s long-standing record with 17 major world championships. He also won the United States title five times, the WWE Tag Team titles twice with The Miz and David Otunga, and the WWE World Tag Team titles twice with Batista and Shawn Michaels.
With the WarGames matches announced yesterday, Iyo Sky will make history as the only individual to have participated in every single WarGames since it was brought back by WWE.
The first women’s WarGames match was back in 2019 under the NXT banner, with four held under that brand before it was moved to the main roster in 2022. This will be the fourth WarGames for the main roster and Sky will enter her seventh match on November 29.
While this is an impressive record in itself, Sky has not been very lucky inside WarGames, and has been on the losing team in four out of six occasions, losing the 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023 matches while only part of the winning team in 2021 and 2024.
On a somewhat similar record, but on a smaller scale, Jey Uso will enter his fourth WarGames match and is the only man to have participated in all WarGames matches since the gimmick match moved to the main roster in 2022.
Unlike Sky, his win/loss record in WarGames remains at 100% with three wins so far.
The men’s and women’s WarGames matches were set up on Raw yesterday in two different ways.
The men’s match was set up first in a backstage segment between CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso. This was after Punk had a brawl in the ring with The Vision earlier and both Uso and Rhodes joined in to even the odds for Punk.
In the backstage segment, Punk complained to Raw GM Adam Pearce and told him that he was tired of these games. Pearce asked Punk if he’s thinking what he’s thinking and Punk called for William Regal, who entered the frame simply to scream “WarGames!”
The women’s match was set up after The Kabuki Warriors defeated Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair to become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team champions.
The heels, joined by Nia Jax and Lash Legend, beat up on Bliss and Flair and then Iyo Sky came out to somewhat clean house until she got clobbered in the face by Legend. As the heels regained control, Rhea Ripley returned – wearing a face mask due to a broken nose – and helped get the advantage. Ripley then grabbed the mic and also screamed “WarGames” at her opponents.
1) Why Esports and Live Events Are Changing the Rules of the Game
Esports stopped being a niche long ago: disciplines have schedules, a stable meta, recognizable team brands, and measurable performance metrics. For a bookmaker, this means moving from static lines to dynamic markets that react to patches, player form, and series tempo. In 2025, integration with tournaments and broadcasts became infrastructural: bets, stream, and stats live in one window, and markets refresh on the back of each in-game event.
The key to a stable experience is synchronization with real broadcasts and match telemetry: fractional odds are reshaped in seconds, and marketing aligns promos with the “maps of the day,” hero picks, and playoff formats. That’s why mostbet casino combines multi-screen viewing, contextual notifications, and short markets: the bettor sees not abstract numbers but a live game where the odds are a transparent translation of probabilities into plain language.
2) New Betting Formats: From Micro-Markets to Series Builders
Event micro-markets. “Who takes the next Roshan/Baron/Nashor,” “how many smokes before the 15th minute,” “will there be a force buy in the next round” — markets open for short segments and close immediately after the trigger. This reduces waiting variance and provides frequent feedback.
Combo builders and scenario feeds. The user assembles a chain of outcomes within a single map/match-map: kill difference → first objective → total economic pauses. The platform automatically recalculates correlations and restricts toxic combinations.
Real-time player props. Individual totals on ADR/KDA, damage share, headshot% or support time alive. Limits adapt to game tempo and the model’s confidence intervals.
3) Live Tech: Telemetry, Anti-Lag, and “Smart” Odds
Direct telemetry. Integration with tournament feeds (map, economy cycle, cooldowns, objective control) powers valuation models. Odds “breathe” in sync: the model detects macro-game shifts before the viewer can visually interpret the moment.
Anti-lag architecture. Buffered live with timestamps and packet aggregation protects against client/server divergence. If the viewer’s delay exceeds the threshold, the platform temporarily narrows the market or raises the minimum tick to preserve fairness.
Contextual UX. Widgets for key events (ultimates ready/not, economy bonus, vision control) explain the logic behind line movement. The user understands why the odds changed — reducing impulsive “emotion-driven” bets.
4) A Responsible Approach: Limits, Anti-Overtrading, and Outcome Verification
Because live play is highly dynamic, overbetting risks grow. The platform introduces soft stop signals: daily limits on stakes/losses, “cool-down” pauses after a series of bets, warnings when correlated outcomes stack up. For disputed moments, the result is fixed by the tournament feed, not the stream picture — eliminating the human factor of delay.
Anti-fraud layers track abnormal bet synchronicity and the use of technical delays. In questionable cases, the market temporarily switches to a “close-only” mode until the organizer confirms the event.
5) What This Gives the Bettor: Speed, Transparency, and Risk Control
Micro-markets speed up the feedback loop; builders let you control correlations; telemetry explains line movement. A bettor can build strategy not around martingales but around repeatable tempo patterns: early objectives → economic edge → snowball. With fixed limits and short sessions, live esports becomes not a lottery but a predictable process where probability and risk pricing are clear in advance.
Conclusion
At Mostbet, integrating Esports and live events isn’t just “adding more markets.” It’s a new operating model: data flows from the studio straight into the odds, the interface explains the logic, and responsibility mechanics keep risk bounded. This approach changes how we bet: less noise, more meaning, and decisions you can replicate.
The first two individuals moved on in The Last Time Is Now tournament yesterday on Raw.
Rusev defeated Damian Priest in the first match to advance to the second round while later in the broadcast, Sheamus defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to advance.
Both men have a history with Cena in the ring, with Rusev even sharing the ring with him at WrestleMania. Sheamus defeated Cena for the WWE title, coincidentally on the same December 13 day several years ago.
Meanwhile, the next two matches to take place in the tournament next week on Raw will feature NXT’s Je’Von Evans vs the returning Gunther and Solo Sikoa vs another mystery opponent.
The tournament continues this Friday on Smackdown, with Jey Uso vs The Miz and LA Knight vs a mystery opponent.
Mercedes Mone was crowned the queen in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated Top 250 Women chart.
Carrying 12 titles, it was not a surprise to see Mone top the list even though the public sentiment might differ on this particular choice. Mone was not even in the 2024 list because she did not have enough matches by the time the list was compiled.
Coming in at #2 was last year’s #1, Toni Storm. Storm, with her Timeless character, has been a mainstay on AEW television for a few years now and has been the face of AEW women’s wrestling, certainly a deserved spot for the young star from New Zealand.
Rounding up the top 5 were Saya Kamitani in third, Tiffany Stratton in fourth, and Stephanie Vaquer in fifth place.
The rest of the top 10 included Iyo Sky in sixth, Athena in seventh, Sareee in eight, Naomi in ninth, and Rhea Ripley in tenth place.
That means that AEW had three, WWE had five, and Japan with two entries.
The digital version of the Top 250 Women Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine is available today while the print version comes out tomorrow.
During last night’s opening segment of Raw with John Cena, it was announced that the undercard for the December 13 Saturday Night’s Main Event would be filled of exhibition matches pitting WWE stars vs NXT stars.
Cena made the announcement himself and said it’s a way to give back to fans and give an opportunity to the future of the industry to share the spotlight on an important night for him.
It’s unclear how many matches will be held but the last Saturday Night’s Main Event had only four matches in a two hour show. Unless the show is stretched to three hours and considering Cena will get all the time in the world for the post-match speech, chances are there won’t be a lot of NXT stars who will be able the shine in the nation’s capital.
Some tickets remain available for the show through Ticketmaster.com although the cheapest price to get in is $424 plus fees.
Nikki Bella turned heel yesterday on Raw, taking down WWE Women’s World champion and her ally Stephanie Vaquer after her match against Raquel Rodriguez.
After Vaquer won the match, Roxanne Perez attacked the champion but Bella came in the ring and beat her up, eventually flying out of the ring after superkick from Vaquer. Bella then hugged Vaquer and raised her hand…but then it happened.
Bella grabbed the women’s title and instead of giving it to Vaquer, the unsuspecting champ turned around and got whacked in the face. Bella stood on top of the champ, posing with the title and talked thrash to Vaquer.
She then removed her red Fearless shirt to unveil a black Fearless shirt, signifying a move to the dark side!
