Serena Deeb says getting released from WWE was the best thing that could have happened
The current NWA Women’s champion and AEW star Serena Deeb is not missing her time with WWE and referred to her losing her job as the best thing which could have ever happened to her.
Deeb was part of the WWE Performance Center coach team, focusing on training the up-and-coming female WWE Superstars, a job she had from February 2018 until she was cut in April 2020 by the company due to the coronavirus cost-cutting measures.
“It was probably the best thing that ever happened to me, losing my job, because AEW probably would not be happening right now,” Deeb said on the latest AEW Unrestricted podcast. “I don’t even look back on that with any type of negative feelings or anything…it is purely positive for me.”
Deeb made her AEW debut in September of last year and signed a few weeks later. A month later, she beat Thunder Rosa during an episode of UWN Primetime Live to claim the NWA Women’s title, a title which she holds on to this day.
“I knew from that first taping that I wanted to be a part of. I just had such a positive experience, and just the way it all turned out. I couldn’t have asked for a better story,” Deeb continued.
The Fight Pit match to take place next week on NXT
The Fight Pit match between Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher has been rescheduled to take place next week.
The match was originally set to take place on the New Year’s Evil show last week but it was pulled from the show after Timothy Thatcher was not cleared to compete due to an injury. Thatcher has got the green light to return to the squared circle and WWE wasted no time in rebooking the match.
This is the second time that the Fight Pit match will be featured on NXT television. The first one was held in May of last year, also involving Thatcher as he took on Matt Riddle with Kurt Angle as the special guest referee. That was Riddle’s last match in NXT.
The Rascalz make their NXT debut as MSK
The tag team formerly known as The Rascalz in Impact Wrestling made their NXT debut last night under the name of MSK.
Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz, now known as Wes Lee and Nash Carter, defeated Isiah “Swerve” Scott and Jake Atlas in the first round of the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament. Their appearance was hyped on the NXT Twitter account with the hashtag #WhoIsMSK and Trey Miguel, their former tag team partner, ‘liked’ the tweet during the day.
With the two advancing to the next round of the tournament, they will face the winner of the match between Killian Dain and Drake Maverick vs Curt Stallion and August Grey.
Wes Lee has mostly wrestled for Impact Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla before joining WWE while Carter also wrestled for Combat Zone Wrestling and some other indies. The two have won several tag team titles across the independent scene.
Both signed with WWE last month after they departed Impact Wrestling but Miguel has chosen not to follow them so far.
Mick Foley doing better but still feeling coronavirus effects
The hardcore legend Mick Foley is still recovering from his bout with coronavirus although is doing better than last month.
After Foley contracted the virus, he had to quarantine for Christmas and New Year’s and had to spend the holidays alone in a hotel room, missing out on the one holiday he really, really loves!
“Many of you have been asking how I’m feeling after my positive COVID test. All in all, not too bad – but I get fatigued very easily, and my head still feels a little cloudy,” Foley commented. He urged his fans to take the pandemic seriously, noting that the daily death count is “staggeringly high..and climbing.”
The former champion thanked all his well-wishers and added that if he got up from going through the cage during the Hell In A Cell match against The Undertaker, he’s pretty sure he will “kick out of COVID!”
Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic kicks off next week
The Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament will start on next week’s episode of NXT on USA Network.
WWE only announced four teams from the tournament so far with Toni Storm and Mercedes Martinez, Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter, Candice LaRae and Indi Hartwell, and Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon.
Two first round matches, Storm and Martinez vs Catanzaro and Carter, and La Rae and Hartwell vs Blackheart and Moon, will both air on next week’s show.
This is the first time that WWE will be holding a women’s version of the tournament. The men’s tournament will also continue next week.
2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic starts tonight on NXT on USA
NXT kicks off the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament tonight on USA Network with three first-round matches set to take place.
The first-round matches airing tonight include The Undisputed Era vs Breezango, Ever-Rise vs The Grizzled Young Veterans, and Isiah “Swerve” Scott and Jake Atlas vs MSK.
In addition to these three tag matches, there’s also Shotzi Blackheart vs Candice LaRae and Johnny Gargano vs Dexter Lumis in a non-title match.
Unknown tag team MSK added to the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament
An unknown team, named just MSK, is part of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament bracket and the duo have been drawn against Isiah “Swerve” Scott and Jake Atlas in the first round.
Speculations have already started on who the team will consist of and Trey Miguel, formerly of The Rascalz tag team in Impact Wrestling has “liked” the tweet, adding more fuel to the fire that the team will be his former tag team partners Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz, who will reunite under the NXT brand.
Both Xavier and Wentz are now part of the WWE Performance Center and are under WWE deals but Miguel did not join them, at least not yet. The trio last appeared on Impact on the November 17 tapings.
The WWE NXT Twitter account wondered #WhoIsMSK in a tweet while Shawn Michaels retweeted using just the thinking face emoji.

Chris Jericho admits he had COVID-19 in September
During the latest episode of Talk Is Jericho, former AEW champion Chris Jericho revealed that he had coronavirus in September and it was the first time that he’s saying it publicly.
“I had zero symptoms. I had my ten days in isolation and stayed away from everybody. I didn’t have a symptom. I didn’t even know that I had it,” Jericho said.
He got to find out when he went to take the test even though he was asymptomatic and had a surprise reaction to the positive outcome. Jericho said he took three further tests to make sure it was not a false positive but they all came positive. “I didn’t have a headache. I didn’t have a cough, which is a lucky thing,” he continued.
Jericho was the subject of several online criticism after he and his band Fozzy decided to play a concert during Sturgis in August. That event led to approximately 250,000 new infections.
Fellow AEW star Nick Jackson also revealed last week that he had COVID-19 in September.

Matt Striker to lead new Impact Wrestling play-by-play team with D’Lo Brown
Starting with the Hard To Kill pay-per-view, Impact Wrestling announced that a new play-by-play team will take the reigns as Matt Striker and D’Lo Brown will take over from Josh Mathews and Madison Rayne.
Striker will be serving as the new play-by-play man while Brown will be doing color commentary. Rayne is leaving the promotion while Mathews was given a promotion to senior producer and was rewarded with a new multi-year deal.
Matt Striker said that he always loved wrestling and loves the fact that the sport unites so many people. “Pro wrestling is a sport and I want to be mindful to call it as such. I’ve learned and grown so much since I began, and I thank the fans – and the critics – for that. It is not lost on me the opportunity that is before me – I can once again lend my voice to the sport that I love.”
His new tag team partner at the announce desk, D’Lo Brown, said he’s excited to join Striker to call the action every week and cannot wait to have the best seat in the house. “I’m humbled to follow the IMPACT broadcasting path of Don West and Mike Tenay, and most recently Don Callis, Madison Rayne and certainly Josh Mathews. I’m beyond grateful for this opportunity. I know there are big shoes to fill, but Striker and I will do our best.”
Meanwhile, Mathews added, “My play-by-play career has spanned nearly 20 years – from WrestleMania to Bound For Glory to incredible moments from IMPACT Wrestling on AXS TV,” Mathews said. “Producing will allow me to have a bigger role in the overall production of our weekly show, PPVs and IMPACT+ Specials. This transition has been a great process, Matt and D’Lo are bringing a fresh energy and are ready to go. It was a special year in 2020, and both Madison Rayne and I will always be grateful for the opportunity and look forward to these exciting changes.”
WWE announces details of the India Superstar Spectacle television show
WWE officially announced the Superstar Spectacle show for India, a two-hour television special event featuring WWE’s Indian performers alongside Superstars from Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. It will premiere exclusively on Sony Ten 1, Sony Ten 3 and Sony MAX on India’s Republic Day, Tuesday, January 26 at 8PM IST, with commentary available in both English and Hindi.
Instead of the Capitol Wrestling Center, Superstar Spectacle will be taped from the WWE Thunderdome and will feature WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, AJ Styles, Bayley, The New Day, Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, Ricochet, and others plus an appearance by WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair.
“We love the passion and support from the huge WWE Universe in India so we’ve teamed up with SPN, the exclusive home of WWE in India, to surprise our fans with an incredible event to kick off 2021,” said Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President, Global Talent Strategy & Development. “WWE Superstar Spectacle will be an epic event with electrifying matches featuring some of the biggest names in WWE along with our incredible Indian performers, plus thrilling and authentic Indian-inspired entertainment.”
The talent from India set to be part of the show include Jinder Mahal, The Bollywood Boyz, Indus Sher, Jeet Rama, Kavita Devi, Giant Zanjeer and Dilsher Shanky, and Guru Raaj. Matches will be announced in the next few days.
“WWE has consistently featured among the top watched sports properties in India over the years,” said Rajesh Kaul, Chief Revenue Officer, Distribution and Head – Sports Business, Sony Pictures Networks India. “We are excited about presenting WWE Superstar Spectacle to WWE fans and viewers in India on Republic Day which will showcase and celebrate the best of the next generation Indian talent in WWE.”
WWE is one of the most-watched sports properties in India, and India ranks #1 for WWE YouTube consumption and #1 in WWE Facebook followers. In addition, WWE has been actively recruiting elite athletes and performers from the country. In 2019, WWE hosted its largest tryout in history, where more than 70 top athletes from India showcased their abilities in Mumbai and four Indian recruits were selected to train at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
The show was originally going to be a tournament among the Indian talent under the new NXT India brand but that has been apparently pushed back for the time being.

AEW President Tony Khan in heel-ish “paid ad” segment on Impact Wrestling
AEW President Tony Khan and Tony Schiavone appeared once again on Impact Wrestling yesterday in another “paid ad” segment.
Khan, sporting a goofy 2021 sunglasses, played the heel and congratulated Impact on having a great year, especially thanks to his paid ads and revenues from him. He said that Kenny Omega graced their show with his presence and brought along with him the greatest title in professional wrestling and then asked Tony to “tell them how it’s done” when running the card for tonight’s Dynamite.
“Did you know that Brian Cage was an Impact Wrestling champion?” Khan asked Schiavone. “Yes, I did,” Schiavone replied. “I’m genuinely surprised, I didn’t expect you to know that,” Khan shot back, saying that Cage will get the “biggest opportunity of his career” tonight on Dynamite, a clear dig at the Impact World title.
Speaking of digs, the duo signed off with another zinger at The Good Brothers. “I’m not so sure what’s so good about them,” Khan wondered, although he invited them, Don Callis, or anyone else to show up on Dynamite.
You can see the promo below.

Soon-to-be WWE Hall of Famer Dave Bautista has offered a $20,000 reward for the arrest of the individual or individuals who carved the word “Trump” on a Florida manatee.
“If there’s not already a reward for the arrest and conviction of the low life scummy MAGATs that did this I’ll throw in $20,000. And I promise there will be bonuses to that reward,” he wrote on Twitter.
Several photos were uploaded on the social media site showing the poor manatee with the carved word and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation is looking for tips on who might have done it.
“All I’m saying is that there are a lot of Floridians that don’t appreciate people f*cking with our manatees,” he continued.
The former champion is a huge critic of the President and has made his opinions well known on Twitter.

Will AI “Conquer” the world in the nearest future?
From all-in-one desktops and smartphones to live chatbots, by now, artificial intelligence (AI) is omnipresent in our online and digital lives. Maybe you’re not just aware. The momentum behind artificial intelligence is on the rise, owing somewhat to the vast quantities of data that computers can amass concerning our likes, purchases, as well as movements each day. What’s more, the prodigies in AI study utilize the whole data so they can train machines on how to learn and predict what we want or don’t want.
Introducing Artificial Intelligence
AI works very closely together with machine learning and is a computer program that can impersonate human brainpower to sense, think, take action and adapt per the gathered or available data. Machine Learning collaborates with Artificial Intelligence via algorithms that boost their performance through exposure to more data after some time. Businesses all over the world are adopting various inventions in Machine Learning and AI and integrating them within their systems. The two are brought together to mimic human conduct so that they can carry out different errands. The most well-known appliances of this kind of technology can be spotted in Amazon’s Alexa and Apples’ Siri.
Leading brands in the online casino industry, such as VulkanVegas casino online NZ, have also been at the forefront of adopting new technological inventions like AI. Adopting these emerging technologies into gaming systems for online casinos has become vital in boosting player retention, enriching player experiences, improving user engagement and optimizing their overall services.
With such transformations already in existence, doesn’t it make you wonder what the future holds for this incredible tier of the tech revolution? Here’s a closer look at the potential future that Artificial Intelligence has in store for us.
Better Entertainment
Forget about Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and HBO Max. Sooner or later, you may well park yourself on your sofa at home and order a custom movie or TV show featuring your favorite virtual actors. Moreover, movie production companies are possibly looking at a future with no flops – state-of-the-art analytical programs will have the ability to examine a storyline of a film script and predict its box office potential. How about that?
Medication
What’s the point in having medication that’s good for the ordinary individual while it can be made to measure to your exact gene? The various algorithms employed in AI will allow medics and hospitals to analyze data much better and tailor their health care to the different genetic factors, surroundings and ways of life of all patients. Starting from the diagnosis of brain tumors to settling on the kind of cancer treatment that will work best for a person, there’s no doubt that artificial intelligence will push tailored medicine transformation to greater heights.
Cyber Safety
Back in 2015, over 705 million cyber-safety infringements were reported. On top of that, there were around 554 million breaches during the first half of 2016 only. Fast forward to 2020, recent research shows that hackers attack every 39 seconds with an average of 2,244 attacks taking place each day!
For sure, many firms are trying so hard to get a step ahead of hacking attempts. And the self-learning, along with automation abilities that comes with AI, can secure data not only more methodically but also inexpensively. This will ensure people are safe and sound from any identity theft. Tools based on AI hunt for patterns connected with malevolent computer viruses as well as programs before they can cause mayhem like stealing huge amounts of information.
Very Important Tasks
The range of tech-based assistants that come with AI will be of great help to the elderly in the near future, enabling them to live in their homes longer. The AI-based tools will ensure only health-giving foods are available, allow the older individuals to safely handle objects even on high shelves and keep an eye on any movements within an elder’s home.
Better yet, future AI tools could as well carry out lawn mowing duties, assist with bathing and hygiene, keeping the house clean, and so on. And while there are numerous other monotonous and physical errands that perfectly suit the AI-based tools, AI-aided labor will perhaps be more critical in perilous fields such as firefighting, mining, and handling radioactive materials.
Transport Won’t Be Left Behind
If AI is to conquer the world in the nearest future, then, without a shred of doubt, it will have a massive impact on the transport Industry. As we speak, AI is already transforming transportation with self-driving vehicles. As opposed to us, human beings, an AI driver’s concentration cannot be diverted while on the wheel. Many thanks to self-driving car companies like Cruise, Waymo, Voyage, Swift Navigation, Embark Trucks and CARMERA, we already have driverless cars. And that is just the beginning. Keep your eyes open, and you will see driverless cars, trains and even airplanes in the next few decades.
Summing Up
Although it’s hard to predict the future of AI because the technology is still in its early stage, there’s no doubt it’s already shaping and transforming our lives. Even though AI still seems to be something invisible to the naked eye, you’ll find plenty of hints of smart machines everywhere if you look closely.
So far, which part of your life do you think has been transformed by AI the most? And where would you like to see it implemented more rapidly? Share your thoughts right below in the comments section!
Drew McIntyre addresses his COVID-19 diagnosis, urges fans to wear masks
Appearing on Monday Night Raw in a self-recorded video while self isolating after a positive coronavirus test, WWE champion Drew McIntyre urged fans not to take COVID lightly and to always wear their masks.
“Don’t think you can’t catch it, because you can. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody. And the only way we’re going to be able to stop this thing is by working together,” the Scot said. “So please, wear your mask, follow social distancing guidelines. It’s not just to protect you, it’s to protect everyone and their loved ones. I’ll see you all really, really soon. But until then, stay safe.”
Appearing again later in the show, McIntyre also accepted Goldberg’s challenge for the Royal Rumble, telling his now challenger that he knows nothing about being a WWE champion because it’s the only title that has eluded him his entire career.
McIntyre said he respected and admired Goldberg but was disappointed when last week Goldberg accused him of disrespecting the WWE Legends and while initially he did not want to wrestle Goldberg, that changed once the former Universal champion pushed him down at the end of the broadcast.
