The Battle for Christmas: “Good Santa” Mark Henry VS “Bad Santa” Damien Sandow.

Randy Orton took the easy way out last week in a match with Daniel Bryan by low-blowing him to end the match with a disqualification. Is it possible that The Authority have a lump of coal in store for Orton or is having the WWE World Heavyweight Championship itself enough of a gift?

Are The Wyatt Family looking to wipe Daniel Bryan out for good?

Who does The Shield have their sights set on next?

The WWE Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Goldust has had some defeats in the last few weeks, so they are hungry for a big win. Will they get one in their stockings this week?

Total Divas Recap 12/15/13

20131216-151204.jpg

Forgive me after I uploaded this video I realized I completely forgot to mention Natalya’s drunk episode. I thought it was pretty funny. She left Stephanie McMahon 7 voice mails. Many of which featured her expressing her anger that she’s not the divas champion, one even had her quitting. The funniest one of all though was the one that was clearly meant for TJ. In it nattie said “I’m not wearing any underwear and I’m ready to ride” (it was a side of Nattie I never thought I’d see)

Anyway here’s the rest of my recap in video form. (Like always.
Enjoy

AJ Styles Is Gone From TNA

AJ Styles

AJ Styles has confirmed that he has officially parted ways with TNA. Styles in a statement on his Facebook page said – “When this contract renegotiation journey started several months ago, my wife & I began praying for God to close doors that needed to be closed & to open doors that He wanted us to walk through. We asked Him to prepare us for this journey & to help  us to have the faith to be obedient to what He would have us to do. I am assured by the name Immanuel in Matthew 1:23 that I will never be alone. Hebrews 13:5, says He will never leave us or forsake us. There is a lot in this world that I am unsure of, especially in this moment, but there is one thing that I am certain. Contracts may expire, but the promise of Immanuel will never expire.” AJ said he & his family are grateful for the platform TNA has allowed him to experience.
