Here we go again. According to a report from TMZ, former WWE superstar Tammy Sytch, also known as Sunny, was arrested on Thursday morning on charges of possessing a weapon and making terroristic threats.
The report states that there are a total of 3 charges pending against Sunny: 2 for illegally possessing a weapon and 1 for terroristic threats. The nature of the alleged threats is not currently known at this time.
The weapons charges are classified as third degree, while the threats charge is fourth degree. If convicted, the weapons charges each carry a possible 3-5 year prison term, while the threats charge carries up to a 1-year sentence.
This is not the first time that Sunny has had legal problems in recent memory; in 2019, she was arrested for a DUI and then went on to violate her parole.
Check out Sunny during her happier days:

It’s the end of an era as we are going to see Walter’s final match around here. Walter is one of the people who has made this show feel special every time he appears and while it will be great to see him moving up the ladder, he is going to be missed around here. Hopefully there is a nice tribute to go with the match, so let’s get to it.
We open with a video looking back at Walter’s time in NXT UK.
Opening sequence.
Jack Starz/Dave Mastiff vs. Die Familia Charlie Dempsey is here with Die Familia and the winners face Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter for the #1 contendership. Raja muscles Starz up to start and throws him away without much effort. They fight over a lockup but Raja throws him off a front facelock. Starz can’t take him down by the leg but he can take him down with an armbar. A headlock gives Starz two and some dropkicks send Raja into the corner.
That’s enoug..

They have earned it. There are only a handful of awards for wrestlers to win, which makes them that much more prestigious. It makes for some interesting discussions year to year, as fans are always going to debate the best at any given point. Some wrestlers are going to stand out more than others, and this time around, the fans have been allowed to give their input on the best around.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated has released its annual awards issue, looking at the Best Of 2021. AEW dominated the major awards, sweeping almost everything from WWE. These awards are fan voted, The only award that WWE won was the Inspirational Wrestler of the Year, which went to Edge. Here are the major winners, along with some comments from the biggest winner
Wrestler of the Year – Kenny Omega
Tag Team of the Year – Young Bucks
Match of the Year – Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa – St. Patrick’s Day Slam
Feud of the Year – Chris Jericho vs. Maxwell Jacob Friedman
Most Popular Wrestler of the Year – CM Punk

That sounds like a plan. Wrestlers often have a hard time finding a way out of the industry when they retire. If they have spent a majority of their adult life in the wrestling business, it can be difficult to figure out a way to move on. There are some spots available in the wrestling world after their careers are over though and now one modern legend is interested in taking one of those spots.
AJ Styles has spent the last few weeks in NXT, dealing with Grayson Waller. Styles defeated Waller in a match this week on NXT and seemed to wrap up his time on the show. In a video posted to WWE’s YouTube page, Styles said that he loved his time in NXT and could see himself becoming a coach or a trainer in NXT after his career is over. Styles said the wrestlers are eager to learn, which he sees as a positive sign going forward. There is no word on when Styles plans to retire from the ring.
This could be a good thing. Check out Styles’ statement, his time in NXT, and some of his greatness:

When worlds collide. The wrestling world has changed a lot in recent years, as the barriers between promotions have gone down. The separation between companies has lowered as promotions are starting to work together and acknowledge each other more than ever. That has made for some interesting moments, and that was the case again this week, involving a promotion that is only kind of around at the moment.
This week on Impact Wrestling, Deonna Purrazzo defeated Rok-C to win the Ring of Honor Women’s Title. Following the match, Ring of Honor’s Maria Kanellis-Bennett came to the ring to confront Purrazzo, with several other Ring of Honor wrestlers surrounding her. Impact Wrestling stars attempted to make a save but were attacked as well. This comes after the Ring of Honor stars invaded Hart To Kill, a show that also saw the Ring of Honor World Title defended.
It was a big night. Check out the match, the post match, and the new champ in action:

There he goes. WWE has a lot of wrestlers on its roster, to the point where it can be difficult to keep track of all of them. Sometimes a wrestler will disappear for a long time with little explanation and it can be easy to forget that they are around in the first place. That seems to be the case with a WWE star, but now we have an update on where they are currently located.
Monday Night Raw’s Finn Balor has posted an image to his Instagram, showing he and his wife in his hometown of Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. Balor has not wrestled on television since the December 20 Monday Night Raw or on a live event since December 28. There is no word on why Balor is out of action and nothing to suggest that he is suffering from an injury.

Balor is a heck of a star. Check out what he can do when he is around:

That’s never good to hear. Injuries can happen to anyone at any time and they are never a good thing. Someone can be on the roll of a lifetime and be taken down by something happening to them. What can make it even worse is if it happens when they are getting ready for a major show. Unfortunately that seems to be the case again, as another star is going on the injured list.
SmackDown’s Xavier Woods appeared on an Attack Of The Show livestream and revealed that he suffered an injury during the New Day’s match vs. the Usos on January 7. Woods tore the plantaris muscle in his calf while hitting a DDT on the floor, which will put him out from four to six weeks, meaning he will likely miss the Royal Rumble but should be back in time for WrestleMania.
Woods is pretty awesome. Check out what he can do when he is healthy:

That’s a big name. The wrestling world has been shaken up more than once in recent months and there is nothing to suggest that things are really settling down. The demise of the original Ring of Honor is one of the biggest changes to have taken place in a long time and several wrestlers have hit the free agent market as a result. Now one of them has a new home.
According
to Pat Laparde, former Ring of Honor World Champion PCO has signed a deal with Impact Wrestling. The deal will allow PCO to wrestle on the independent circuit but Impact Wrestling will take priority. PCO debuted with Impact Wrestling at Hard To Kill, where he and several other Ring of Honor names appeared and attacked a group of Impact Wrestling wrestlers.
As mentioned on “Les Anti-Pods de la Lutte” podcast, following his appearance at Hard to Kill last Saturday, I have learned that PCO has signed a contract with Impact Wrestling. The contract allows him to work on the indies, but he’ll have to prioritize Impact’s ..

That would be a draw. Back in 2018, WWE began a regular series of shows in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, featuring some rather stacked cards on a huge stage. They are often treated as some of the biggest shows of the year and it makes a big difference to have them take place. That will be the case again next month and WWE is bringing something big to the show.
According to Fightful Select, WWE will be bringing back the Elimination Chamber for the February Saudi Arabia show. There is no word on how many Elimination Chamber matches there will be or who will be participating. WWE regularly presents an Elimination Chamber event in February, though no such show was announced for this year. The yet to be titled Saudi Arabia show is expected to take place on February 19.
The Chamber is a big deal. Check out what it means for the show:

We’re back to the NXT version of Main Event, which seems to have dropped any indication of a new name. That is something that seemed imminent but now nothing seems to actually be taking place. Hopefully they get to the switch already, because there isn’t much of a point to this show otherwise. Let’s get to it.
Malik Blade vs. Draco Anthony They fight over some basic grappling to start until Anthony shoulders him down. A headlock takeover keeps Blade in early trouble until he is right back with a dropkick. Anthony slams him out of the corner though and an overhead belly to belly gets two on Blade. The Boston crab stays on Blade’s back for a fairly long while but he finally manages to fight out. Some shots to the face put Anthony in trouble for a change and there’s a running clothesline in the corner. Blade hits his own suplex and a missile dropkick finally giv..

We’re continuing on the road to the relaunch, which means we get to continue our look through the video vault. So far that has only meant the best of 2021, which I can understand, but it would be nice to mix it up a bit with some of the older stuff. That is the foundation (not to be confused with The Foundation) of the company and a look back at it would be nice. Let’s get to it.
As usual, these will be the full versions rather than the clipped editions that air.
Opening sequence.
Quinn McKay gives us the usual welcome but this week we have something special: the Best of 2021 Awards!
From Death Before Dishonor, and one of the top five matches of the year as voted by the fans, with Rok-C named the Women’s Wrestler of the Year.
Women’s Title: Miranda Alize vs. Rok-C For the vacant title so we get the Big Match Intros. Feeling out process to start as they head to the mat, with Rok-C grabbing a headlock….and let’s look at comment..
