Bayley, who was once pinned to be one of the top WWE Superstars in the women’s division, was featured on WWE Main Event this week where she defeated Sonya Deville in the opening match. To many, WWE Main Event is seen as secondary programming but Bayley doesn’t seem to think so.

Bayley decided to address the grief she has received from haters on social media about her appearance on the show and tried to set the record straight in a positive manner.

She wrote, “Guys…let’s get this straight…it’s a GOOD thing I was on #MainEvent. I’ll take any chance I can get to step inside the ring. Especially in a singles match and especially when it ends with a victory ”

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE officials are unhappy about the drop in viewership numbers for their new Facebook Watch series, Mixed Match Challenge. Apparently “key people” in the company are already sour on the tournament.

“Mixed Match Challenge dropped greatly in viewership. Even before this week’s numbers came in, we had heard they were very unhappy about the huge drop from week one to week two and key people were already souring on it. The second show was really bad. This week’s show felt like a harmless gimmick show but there feels like no important reason to watch.”

Here is the breakdown of the numbers since it’s debut:

Episode 1: 135,600
Episode 2: 91,900
Episode 3: 62,400

As you can see by the numbers above, the show is having a downward trend. It will be interesting to see if WWE makes some changes to the show to try to garner more viewers.

It was reported last week that Kevin Owens has been battling a back injury for the past few weeks and the injury was described as one that “comes and goes” but isn’t serious enough to take time off to get it fixed.

WWE did an angle on SmackDown Live this week with Owens’ left leg and it will likely figure into the story of his match at The Royal Rumble this Sunday. The belief is that Owens will only be involved in the match on a limited basis due to his back but the commentary team will explain that it is his leg that is affecting his performance.

During the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed Chris Jericho’s status for the RAW 25th Anniversary show and described the situation as “up in the air” for right now.

Meltzer said that as of Friday there wasn’t a finalized deal for Jericho to appear at the event. Meltzer said that both parties are still negotiating for the appearance on Monday and WWE will do everything they can to bring Jericho in because they are advertising him for the event.

We will keep you updated if Jericho’s status changes.

Welcome to the merriest episode of Monday Night Raw ever! And we hope you’re having a great Christmas!

Tonight’s festive Raw will feature the return of the 16-time WWE World Champion, John Cena. It’s unclear if Cena is back for an extended period of time, or if this is a simple one-off appearance, but either way it ill be fun to see Cena back in a Raw ring.

The Royal Rumble is less than a month away and last week we got the historic announcement that there would be a women’s Rumble match in 2018! Now that we’ve got the two matches set, it’s time to start getting entrants. Personally I think entering a Rumble should be earned and something fought for, not just assumed. Like qualifying matches etc., whereas there’s little build-up because we all know Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and Bray Wyatt will be there. Regardless, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cena announce his appearance in the upcoming Rumble match, which he’s currently a favourite to win.

Elsewhere on tonight’s Raw, The Bar battle Rollins and Ambrose for momentum, again, and Braun Strowman continues to butt-heads with Kane ahead of their huge match with Brock Lesnar. That’s the preview for tonight’s Raw, join the conversation on the Ringside Talk app and wind down with some wrasslin’, after a long day. Enjoy the show!
