ROH TV tonight on #HonorClub at http://WatchROH.com
The countdown is on before Team TNA battles the NXT outsiders in a five–on–five Steel Cage Match next Thursday. But before the war, the action heats up on an ALL-NEW TNA iMPACT! this Thursday at 8/7c on TNA+ around the world, AXS TV in the US, and Sportsnet 360 in Canada.
WWE is getting ahead of the holiday schedule next week, as both RAW and SmackDown will be taped in back-to-back double sessions. Fans in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and Grand Rapids, Michigan, will essentially be getting two shows for the price of one.
The December stop of Monday Night RAW in Hershey has been re-listed as a combined taping for both RAW and SmackDown. A few days later, Friday Night SmackDown in Grand Rapids will follow the same format, also pulling double duty.
To make room for the expanded schedule, WWE has bumped both events’ local start times to 6 PM. Interestingly, even though RAW will be taped early, it’s still set to air in its standard TV window at 8 PM EST, so fans at home won’t see the usual “early airing” adjustment that sometimes happens with internationally broadcast shows.
On the storyline front, WWE has confirmed a marquee tag match for next week’s RAW: The Usos vs. The New Day—a rivalry that never misses. With both brands under one roof and a packed taping schedule, it wouldn’t be shocking if more crossover surprises hit the card.
AEW Dynamite: Winter Is Coming airs live tonight on TBS and HBO Max from the Gateway Center in Arena in College Park, Georgia – 10 miles south of Atlanta.
AEW’s Dralistico revealed today that he’s preparing to undergo surgery, posting a short video message from a hospital bed to update fans on his condition.
In the clip, the masked star thanked supporters for the outpouring of messages he’s received and made it clear he’s approaching the procedure with optimism and faith. He also gave a shoutout to All Elite Wrestling for standing by him during the process, saying he’s placing the situation “in God’s hands” as he heads into the operating room.
While Dralistico didn’t specify what injury he’s dealing with or how long he may be sidelined, the tone of the update suggested he’s in good spirits and appreciative of the support system around him.
AEW has yet to release official details regarding the surgery or any recovery timetable, but we’ll keep an eye out for further information as it becomes available. For now, the former La Facción Ingobernable member appears focused on getting healthy and back to the ring when the time is right.
As TNA Wrestling prepares for its big move to AMC early next year, the company has been sorting through a long list of talent contracts. One name that won’t be part of those renewal talks is former Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich, whose time with the promotion has officially come to an end.
Slamovich hasn’t been seen in a TNA ring since September, when she worked a six-woman tag match before abruptly disappearing from television. Her absence came after abuse allegations surfaced involving her relationship with fellow wrestler AKIRA. Slamovich publicly described the situation as “mutually destructive” and took responsibility for her role, but the fallout led the company to quietly sideline her.
According to Fightful Select, her contract has now expired and she’s no longer with the promotion. TNA’s roster page recently removed her profile—usually a telltale sign that a departure is finalized.
Slamovich originally joined TNA in 2019 and quickly became one of the division’s most physical and compelling performers. Her résumé includes a Knockouts World Championship reign from last October through July, along with two runs as Knockouts Tag Team Champion. After her final TNA match, she wrestled a few indie dates overseas, wrapping up with a bout in Austria on September 20, but she hasn’t appeared anywhere since.
With TNA’s AMC era looming, several wrestlers are reportedly working without deals while the promotion sorts out fresh contracts. Slamovich, however, won’t be part of that next chapter, officially closing the book on a once-promising run that ended under difficult circumstances.
WWE NXT live TONIGHT at 8e/7c on the CW Network.
John Cena may be stepping away from the ring on December 13, but he’s not stepping away from WWE. In fact, the 16-time world champion has already locked in his next chapter with the company.
During a sit-down interview with Tom Rinaldi, Cena revealed that he’s officially signed a five-year deal to serve as a WWE ambassador — a role that will keep him closely tied to the brand long after his final match. According to Cena, the decision was an easy one.
“I will be an ambassador to WWE. I’m already signed on for another five years… I would like to be in this family as an employee, as a contributing part for as long as I can.”
While he made it clear that his days as an active performer are coming to a close, Cena said he’s eager to give back in new ways. Behind-the-scenes mentorship seems to be high on his list, as he talked about helping talent tap into their real personalities — much like he did when the now-famous “Doctor of Thuganomics” freestyle persona first emerged on a bus ride during his early days in WWE.
“It’s not my time to perform anymore… I have a bunch of strengths and gifts that I can pass on… Maybe mentorship to talent I wouldn’t spend time with… I’m looking forward to that stuff.”
Cena’s ambassador role likely means more media appearances, outreach efforts, and involvement in WWE initiatives — essentially using his global name recognition to continue pushing the company forward.
But before that next phase begins, Cena still has one last fight to finish.
WWE has confirmed that his final match will take place at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where Cena will go one-on-one with the “Ring General” GUNTHER. The showdown marks the end of an iconic in-ring career, but clearly not the end of Cena’s WWE journey.
Expect Cena to remain a major presence — just in a whole new way.
MJF has been off AEW TV since a rough September that saw him drop the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Title to Mistico and fall to Mark Briscoe in the Tables N’ Tacts match at All Out. His absence has largely been tied to filming Violent Night 2, but production on the movie is now complete — which had many expecting “The Devil” to reappear sometime in December.
So far, though, the former AEW World Champion hasn’t surfaced on Dynamite or Collision during the first week of the month. Despite that, Wrestlevotes Live on Fightful Select reports that AEW has had MJF penciled into plans for Worlds End since Thanksgiving week. Details on what those plans involve are still under wraps.
However, last week’s Dynamite may have offered a huge hint. AEW officially announced the return of the Dynamite Diamond Ring, kicking off with a Battle Royal during next week’s Holiday Bash. The final two competitors will then square off on the Christmas Eve edition of Dynamite — titled Dynamite on 34th Street. Considering MJF has won the ring every single year since its debut in 2019, he immediately becomes the obvious favorite the moment he walks back through the curtain.
And this time, the stakes are even higher. The winner of the Diamond Ring will earn an AEW World Championship match on January 14 at Dynamite: Maximum Carnage in Phoenix. With MJF spending 2025 chasing the world title — including a failed attempt against “Hangman” Adam Page at Forbidden Door — plus still holding the All In Casino Gauntlet contract, he’s got more avenues to a title shot than anyone on the roster.
If AEW is looking for a big return to shake up Worlds End season, MJF reclaiming the ring he’s owned since day one might be the perfect spark.
