We’ve had seven exciting years of marriage, worked together to grow our careers and our core at AEW from the ground up, and now here we are embarking on another incredible chapter.

Charges expected to be filed in suicide case of Stardom’s Hana Kimura
A man in his 20s who has sent several cyber-bullying messages to the late Hana Kimura is in deep trouble after Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department plans to press charges against the man following her suicide.
The Japanese website Asahi Digital is reporting that police found several messages from this individual harassing Kimura along with around 1,200 posts from 600 different accounts which were abusing the former wrestling star. After Kimura passed away, many of the comments and accounts were deleted but investigators found screenshots of these images which were analyzed by the police.
The man has since apologized to Kimura’s family but justice will soon be knocking on his door. Other messages are being investigated and different individuals could be charged as well over their threats.
Hana Kimura passed away on May 23 from suicide stemming from her appearance on the popular reality TV show Terrace House. She was involved in an altercation with a male cast mate where the outfit she wore at NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 14 was ruined when the other person mistakenly put her gear in the dryer. Kimura reacted by knocking his hat off his head. That incident was the starting point of her downfall and Kimura was bullied online to no end.
In an explosive interview in July of this year, Hana Kimura’s mother Kyoko blamed the producers of Terrace House for forcing her daughter to play the heel on the show. The incident was staged as producers told Hana to get angry and slap her co-star Kai Kobayashi in the face. Kimura refused to slap him and instead knocked his hat off his head. Kobayashi also confirmed the story, which is backed up by several LINE messages that were left in Hana’s phone. Hana often complained with her friends on the messaging service that producers were forcing her to do stuff that she did not want and felt uncomfortable doing them as a professional wrestler.
Kimura, who wrestled for Stardom, was 22 when she died earlier this year and left a suicide note on her social media.
“Nearly 100 opinions every day. I couldn’t deny that I was hurt. I’m dead. Thank you for giving me a mother. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love it. I’m weak. I’m sorry. I don’t want to be alive anymore. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you everyone. I love you. Bye,” the note read.
Former NXT champion Kairi Sane later wrote that she called Stardom founder Rossy Ogawa immediately when she saw the suicide tweet from Hana Kimura but it was already too late.
The Kimura incident rocked the Japanese wrestling scene and the topic of cyber bullying also reached the Japanese parliament with both the Liberal Democratic Party and the Constitutional Democratic Party agreeing to discuss the topic while Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication promised to look for ways to identify online bullies.
Smackdown to air live on FOX on New Year’s Day
The New Year’s Day episode of Friday Night Smackdown will be airing live on FOX, giving WWE Superstars and crew zero time off to celebrate the new year.
This is not the first time that WWE went live on January 1 but there have been occasions before where Raw or Smackdown which fell on New Year’s day were taped.
Smackdown also fell on January 1 last year when it aired on Tuesday, getting 2,091,000 viewers. That was a taped episode and did not air live.
Speaking of taped, the Christmas Day episode of Smackdown will be recorded a few days ahead so the crew will get to spend Christmas with their families at least.

WWE filmed a hilarious segment as a holidays greeting message with the biggest heel ever trying to crash the party!
The greeting starts with Drew McIntyre addressing the WWE Universe inside the ThunderDome and then all of a sudden…2020 comes down the aisle complete with its own theme song. 2020 tells Drew that it has been trending worldwide for the whole year. 2020 taunted McIntyre with all the things that we couldn’t do this year and then threatened the WWE virtual fans that he would unleash his murder hornets on them! Eww!
McIntyre then tells 2020 that he’s personally going to make sure that they’re going to get rid of it once and for all and delivers the Claymore Kick. Then John Cena, Roman Reigns, Bayley, Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, Asuka, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, and Randy Orton all deliver their moves on the CGI 2020 before 2021 comes down the ramp and finishes 2020 off.

Kenny Omega to team with Anderson and Gallows at Hard To Kill PPV
AEW World champion Kenny Omega will be teaming up with Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows in the main event of next month’s Hard To Kill Impact Wrestling pay-per-view in a six-man tag team match against Impact World champ Rich Swann and The Motor City Machine Guns.
The match was announced last night during Impact Wrestling on AXS TV where once again Omega featured throughout the show.
After the main event match of Anderson vs Chris Sabin, Gallows returned to help his tag team partner fend off Swan and the MCMG and Omega then came out to even the odds and help his former Bullet Club team mates. During the confrontation, Omega kept saying that he has the real world title, in an angle similar to when Ric Flair jumped to WWE with the NWA/WCW World Heavyweight title. Don Callis, the Impact VP, also taunted Swann saying that the AEW title is the real one.
AEW President Tony Khan and Dynamite commentator Tony Schiavone appeared again in a “paid ad” segment on Impact to continue the angle.
The Hard To Kill pay-per-view takes place on Saturday, January 16 live from the Skyway Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.

Raw rating for 12/14/2020
Monday Night Raw hit its lowest-ever rating this week, with only 1,526,000 viewers tuning in, down 210,000 viewers from the previous week. The night was dominated by the NFL with over 12 million watching the game on ESPN head-to-head with Raw.
The show started with 1,627,000 viewers in the first hour which was already low, then dropped to 1,512,000 viewers in the second hour, before closing the night with just 1,441,000 viewers for the third hour. These were all new low records for Raw.
Raw was #6, #10, and #12 in the top 50 cable chart, also down from its usual place and had 0.44, 0.41, and 0.38 ratings in the 18-49 demo. Interesting to note is that last week’s Dynamite had more in the 18-49 demo in each hour than Raw, something that never happened before. The show was #31 in overall viewership for the night on cable.

Lana out of the TLC pay-per-view after injury angle
The TLC pay-per-view had a slight change in its card after Lana has been ruled out of the WWE Women’s Tag Team title match, leaving Asuka without a partner for now.
After defeating Nia Jax on Raw yesterday, Baszler attacked Asuka backstage and Jax then beat up Lana in the ring. Baszler then joined her tag team partner in the ring and the two worked on her before Asuka managed to run out and save the day.
Lana had been on the receiving end of nine consecutive table spots over the past few months at the hands of Jax and got her revenge on her yesterday with an unlikely win. But the celebrations were cut short and while Lana has won the battle, it seems that Jax and Baszler won the war, at least for now.
WWE then announced that Lana was taken to hospital and due to her injuries would not be competing at the TLC pay-per-view. Asuka will now have to find another partner to take on Baszler and Jax this Sunday.
Mandy Rose returns on Raw
Mandy Rose returned on WWE television last night after she was written out of storylines before the Survivor Series following an attack by Shayna Baszler.
Rose, along with Dana Brooke, was supposed to be part of the Raw women’s Survivor Series team but a shoulder injury prevented her from being cleared. Her tag team partner Brooke was then taken out in an attack by Mia Yim of Retribution later in the broadcast and both Rose and Brooke did not participate in the Survivor Series.
The former Tough Enough alum returned yesterday and saved Brooke from another beatdown by Jax and Baszler. Rose came out with kendo sticks and Asuka also joined in to help Rose and Brooke get rid of the WWE Women’s Tag Team champions.

Tips to be a professional wrestler
Wrestling is a prevalent sports form in several corners of the world. Today, many students aspire to grow up and get into wrestling and be like their favorite wrestling heroes. Of course, a lot of these young kids do outgrow these dreams, but some dedicated wrestling enthusiasts never give up on their aspiration to be a wrestler and materialize their dreams by entering into the wrestling world as they grow up. However, the apparent truth is wrestling takes a lot of effort and time. But who said following your dream will ever be easy? So, we have prepared a complete guide full of tips and tricks for people who never give up on their dreams of being a pro wrestler.
Before we get to that, let us ask you an obvious question, how do you think someone becomes a professional wrestler? Do they go to a particular training camp or a school? Are they all muscular and tall by birth? Well, that may not be quite right. See, wrestling training is much like training for any other professional step. However, with wrestling, you need to take a bunch of extra steps. Here, we will discuss these steps with you.
Some background in sports will be helpful.
Mihir, an online calculus tutor, says that being aware of the sport’s ins and outs are vital before getting into the sport. When you know about the sport, it is easier to get success in it. A lot of pro wrestlers start their career with other sports and overtime switch to wrestling. For instance, Mojo Rawley and Dean Jonathan Muhtadi switched to WWE after they faced grave injuries while playing for the Arizona Cardinals NFL team. Similarly, Tim Wiese played in the Bundesliga as goalkeeper in the German soccer league Bundesliga before entering into the WWE. Allen Coage (Bad News Brown), who started out as an Olympic medalist judo heavyweight, later switched to the ring. Once a professional footballer, Lawrence Wendell Pfohl (Lex Luger), who played for the CFL team Montreal Alouettes is now a WWF legend.
Wrestling
Wrestling professionally is a fine amalgam of theatrical performance and Greco-Roman wrestling. The most incredible way to start your wrestling training is by taking up the archaic Olympic-style sport. Nathan, an educator who offers do my assignment for me, says that for young students interested in wrestling, there are several universities and schools in the US who have their individual wrestling teams, which can be the perfect first step to introduce yourself to the sport.
Bodybuilding
Beyond learning the ring’s techniques, most professional wrestlers have a standout trait, which is the muscular built and defined bodies. It does help to have ample muscle mall for professional wrestlers, points out Sam, who offers the best Instagram marketing courses and is a WWE fanatic. See, what Sam means is that your body is stronger to combat the challenger when you have ample muscle mass. Please know that though having muscle mass is not mandatory to get into wrestling, it sure helps. So, as young students and future WWE aspirants, you need to start working on your body young. However, please know that it won’t be easy. Many debates are revolving around the advantages and disadvantages of resistance training. So, before you start, we recommend hiring a personal trainer. He will craft a personalized regime and diet crafted keeping you, your body strength, and your goal.
Wrestling schools
To focus better on professional wrestling, you can join one of the wrestling schools, points out an educator who offers childcare assignment help for students. In your country alone, you can find a myriad of wrestling schools that train you to get into the sport professionally. The good thing is that most of these training institutions or schools are run by former wrestling experts. So, if you wish to learn the basics of the sport, you can ideally join one of these schools and learn from the best. One undeniable benefit of joining the wrestling school is that these experts will always start from the basics and take you to the top. So, training under them would mean you will have to do everything from cardio to the theoretical aspects of wrestling, adapting the basic moves of the sport, and then learning some specific techniques that will come in handy when facing a challenger. Now, the time you spend at these schools is usually not fixed and depends a lot on your skill level, physique, and pace at which you learn.
A coach
You can only get better at something if you get the right guidance, and the same holds for wrestling states Jenny, who performs AustralianAssignmentHelpReviews. See, we agree with Jenny on this, to be a professional, you need a coach or a mentor who has the hands-on experience in this field. It is best to be trained by a professional wrestler because he will be able to teach you tricks of the ring that no one else can.
Teamwork
One of the quintessential things to bear in mind when getting into professional wrestling is that it requires teamwork, comments Haris, an educator who offers TopOnlineAssignmentServices. Wrestling, like most other sports, is a team sport. In this, you face your opponent in the ring, shout curses at one another, and seemingly beat one another as a team, wherein you work towards a common goal, and that is to entertain the people who are there to witness the fight.
Ethan Page leaving Impact Wrestling
Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Ethan Page, one half of Impact’s tag team The North, will be leaving the company at the end of this year after his contract expires.
Page was part of Final Resolution this past weekend and wrestled Karl Anderson with the stipulation being that if he won, The North would get an Impact Tag Team title shot against Anderson and Gallows. However, Page lost the match and the title shot was gone as well.
The Canadian, who was trained by Taz, joined Impact Wrestling in 2018 but found his rhythm when he was joined by Josh Alexander to form The North tag team, winning the Impact Tag Team titles twice. The North holds the record for the longest Impact Tag Team title reign with 380 days.
WWE TLC 2020 betting preview: odds released for entire card
The final WWE pay-per-view of 2020 takes place at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida on Sunday night, and the odds that are listed on the online sportsbooks could be a good indicator as to which way each bout might go.
Both of the top men’s titles will be defended in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches, and in each instance, the champion is tipped to successfully defend.
Drew McIntyre puts his WWE Championship on the line against AJ Styles, and the Scot is priced at 1/8 with 888sport to retain with The Phenomenal One given just an outside chance at 4/1.
Roman Reigns is an even bigger favourite in his TLC match against Kevin Owens. The two-time Universal champion is expected to be in a high-profile match at WrestleMania, and is as short as 1/40 to see off Kevin Owens and move onto the next challenge in 2021.
Both main events are expected to be of the highest quality – so much so that they are odds-on to be rated 4.25 stars or above by the Wrestling Observer.
WWE prop bets such as star ratings and signature moves can only be seen on the very best online sportsbooks, and those can be found on the comparison website MyBettingsites.com/ca.
The SmackDown Women’s Championship will be up for grabs as Carmella gets another shot at Sasha Banks. After winning the belt at Hell in a Cell, Banks defeated the Raw Women’s Champion, Asuka, at Survivor Series and is 1/4 to emerge victorious in her first PPV defense.
Carmella beat Banks by disqualification on SmackDown last week and is 5/2 to triumph on Sunday irrespective of whether or not she walks out with the title.
The Women’s Tag Team Championship matchup on the card pits Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler against an Asuka and Lana pairing that has earned two victories versus the champions on Raw in recent weeks, and they are favourites at 13/25 to succeed at TLC.
Lana has never held WWE gold, whereas Asuka, a Grand Slam winner, is a former Tag Team champion along with Kairi Sane and has been the singles champion on Raw, SmackDown, and NXT – making her one of the most decorated female athletes in the company’s history.
The New Day vs The Hurt Business is the most difficult match to call as far as the betting sites are concerned. A title change could beckon as Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin are favoured at 13/20, and this would be the first time Benjamin has won a tag title since his World’s Greatest Tag Team days with Charlie Haas.
Only one non-title match is locked in at the time of writing, and it sees Bray Wyatt take on Randy Orton. Both have had championship reigns in 2020, and Wyatt is 2/7 to come out on top and perhaps move into another title feud.
The Royal Rumble winner odds often change in the build-up to the start of the Road to WrestleMania, and Big E currently leads the betting at 5/2 on the men’s side.
Bianca Belair is the favourite for the women’s Royal Rumble at 4/1, but behind her at 11/2 apiece are Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley, Ronda Rousey, and Shayna Baszler.
