  • How WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event & AEW Collision did in the ratings


    The ratings and viewership data are in for the latest edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, which aired at the same time as the Jan. 24 episode of AEW Collision.

    The second SNME special WWE produced under their latest contract with NBCUniversal aired on NBC and streamed on Peacock. Nielson doesn’t track Peacock, so the numbers Wrestlenomics has don’t include any streaming viewers. According to those, last weekend’s Gunther/Jey Uso-headlined show was watched by 1,494,000 and did a .33 rating with 18-49 year-olds. That’s down from the number of TV viewers the Dec. 14 edition had by about 6%. It’s a much steeper 21% drop from the previous SNME’s demo rating, however.

    A full ratings report hasn’t been posted yet, but Wrestlenomics has information on Saturday night’s other live sports options. ABC’s NBA game had some big names involved as the Lakers beat the Warriors, and it won the night in primetime with a .70 demo rating from an overall audience of 3.05 million. Both games in ESPN’s college basketball doubleheader outperformed wrestling, too. The Houston/Kansas game at 7 p.m. ET did a .36 off 1.7 million viewers, and the Tennessee/Auburn game that followed at 9 p.m. ET got a .40 rating from an audience totaling 1.75 million.

    And Collision? AEW’s Saturday primetime show on TNT had 250,000 viewers with a .07 rating among 18-49 year olds. Those are week-to-week declines in both: overall audience by 27%, and the demo number off 30%. It’s a few more viewers than the episode that aired opposite last month’s SNME did, but the rating was down compared to that show. Such is life for Collision when it goes opposite a WWE event.

    Which is bad news, because this Saturday AEW airs opposite Royal Rumble. We’ll see how it fares. Until then…

    It’s not much now, but we’ll track SNME’s performance (on television) as WWE continues the show’s new run…

    You can catch up on the latest Saturday Night’s Main Event with our live blog, and recap/review.

    We’ll also continue keeping tabs on Collision in our regular rundown of the show’s viewership and demo rating over the past year…

    WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event vs. AEW Collision: Who Came Out on Top in the Ratings?

    In the battle of the wrestling giants, WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event and AEW’s Collision went head-to-head in a ratings war. Both promotions pulled out all the stops to deliver an action-packed night of wrestling entertainment, but only one could come out on top.

    According to the latest Nielsen ratings, WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event came out victorious with a total viewership of 2.5 million, making it the most-watched wrestling program of the night. The show featured high-flying action, intense rivalries, and jaw-dropping surprises that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

    On the other hand, AEW’s Collision pulled in a respectable 1.8 million viewers, proving that the upstart promotion is a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional wrestling. The show showcased top-tier talent, hard-hitting matches, and an electric atmosphere that captivated audiences from start to finish.

    While WWE may have emerged as the ratings winner this time around, AEW’s Collision proved that they are a legitimate contender in the wrestling landscape. Fans can expect even more thrilling matchups and showdowns in the future as these two promotions continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of sports entertainment.

  • Israel Adesanya wants to ‘throw hands’ with surging middleweight after UFC Riyadh main event


    Former UFC champion Israel Adesanya has a big name in mind for a potential post-fight callout if he’s victorious this weekend in Riyadh.

    Israel Adesanya will return to the Octagon this Saturday against Nassourdine Imavov in his first non-title fight since UFC 234. He’s looking to snap the first losing skid of his MMA career after back-to-back title defeats to Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis.

    Adesanya is in a unique spot in the UFC middleweight title picture. For the first time in a long time, he’s on the outside looking in when it comes to the middleweight title mix as he looks to work his back to another potential shot at the belt.

    In the meantime, Adesanya’s willingness to face top contenders like Imavov shows his seriousness about getting back to the title. Strickland and du Plessis will square off in a rematch at UFC 312 next month with Khamzat Chimaev likely set for the winner.

    Assuming that’s the case, Adesanya doesn’t mind facing another contender should he defeat Imavov this weekend in Riyadh. His target? a Brazilian juggernaut who is quickly approaching title contention.

    Israel Adesanya calls out surging Brazilian contender for next fight with a win at UFC Riyadh

    In a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Adesanya called out Caio Borralho for a fight after UFC Riyadh.

    “Good style, I like his style,” Adesanya said. “Our interactions have been respectful and cordial. And it’s just f***ing hands, bro. You’re good, I’m good, let’s throw hands and see what’s up. No bad blood or nothing, I just want to test myself against these young guys like Nassourdine Imavov.

    “I know the answer, but I want to prove it to myself and find out myself. So we’re going to find out.”

    Borralho defeated Adesanya’s UFC 276 rival, Jared Cannonier, in his first UFC main event last August by unanimous decision. He’s unbeaten in the UFC and holds a 16-fight winning streak overall.

    Adesanya and Borralho were briefly rumored to clash at UFC 312 in Sydney, but the matchmakers pivoted on booking the fight. A win at UFC Riyadh would set Adesanya up nicely for either a fight with a top contender like Borralho, or other potential options.

    Israel Adesanya set for first non-title fight since UFC 234

    Adesanya’s return comes after a submission loss to du Plessis at UFC 305 last year. Before the defeat to du Plessis, Adesanya suffered a stunning loss to Strickland to abruptly end his second title stint at UFC 293.

    Adesanya would be the toughest test of Borralho’s career, by far, but would be an important step in his pursuit of title contention. Borralho has also defeated the likes of Abus Magomedov and Paul Craig during his UFC tenure.

    First thing’s first for Adesanya as he looks to snap his first MMA skid, get back in the win column, and return to the title mix. But a victory this weekend could point him in the direction of facing Borralho or another top middleweight as he looks to potentially return to the throne.

  • UFC 314 main event leaked by fighter who wants undercard spot: ‘It’s official’


    UFC middleweight Bo Nickal allegedly has inside information on who will headline the card he’s targeting his return to later this year.

    Undefeated middleweight Bo Nickal is on the verge of a Top 15 spot after his most recent win over Paul Craig at UFC 309 in November. Nickal, a former NCAA Division I wrestling national champion, will likely get a Top 15 opponent for his next appearance inside the Octagon.

    Since the start of the year, talks over Nickal’s targeted return date and opponent have been relatively quiet. The American Top Team standout wants to return for the UFC’s rumored return to Miami, Florida for UFC 314 on April 12th at the Kaseya Center.

    Nickal revealed he’s targeting a return to the Octagon at UFC 314, but as of this writing, nothing has been formally announced nor reported regarding his next fight. But despite the mystery surrounding his return, Nickal allegedly knows what marquee fight will headline the UFC 314 event.

    Bo Nickal potentially leaks UFC 314 main event

    During a recent episode of his Nickals and Dimes podcast, Nickal took his announced target date further by potentially leaking a featherweight title rematch for UFC 314.

    “It’s official, I know for a fact… I know [Ilia Topuria vs. Alexander Volkanovski 2] is happening,” Nickal said.

    Nickal didn’t specify where he got the Ilia Topuria vs. Alexander Volkanovski 2 booking news from, but he seems extremely confident in his claims. Topuria knocked out Volkanovski for the UFC featherweight championship at UFC 298 last year, before finishing Max Holloway in his first title defense in October.

    One contrary point to Nickal’s claims is that Topuria recently announced his intended move up to lightweight for his next fight. Topuria has called out the likes of Charles Oliveira and UFC lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev in recent weeks since his latest win.

    If Topuria is serious about leaving the featherweight division, Volkanovski would likely be the sure bet for a vacant title shot. Diego Lopes, who is rumored to face a former title challenger at UFC Mexico City, is another name to keep an eye on in the featherweight mix.

    Ilia Topuria’s lightweight teases complicate Alexander Volkanovski rematch

    After Topuria knocked out Holloway at UFC 308, Volkanovski shared a brief post-fight exchange in the cage with Topuria to promote a potential rematch. Topuria seemed open to offering Volkanovski a rematch but has since pivoted on that stance amidst his lightweight plans.

    Before the loss to Topuria, Volkanovski lost a short-notice lightweight title rematch with Makhachev at UFC 294. He’s lost back-to-back fights for the first time in his career after a dominant reign as the UFC’s featherweight titleholder.

    As for Nickal, a win over a top contender would likely be enough to earn a spot in the middleweight Top 15 despite his lack of experience. Before defeating Craig at UFC 309, Nickal finished Cody Brundage, Val Woodburn, and Jamie Pickett inside the Octagon.

    An announcement regarding the UFC 314 main event is expected to come in the next few weeks. If Nickal’s claims are proven true, Miami is in for another wild UFC event in April.

    Attention all UFC fans! The main event for UFC 314 has been leaked by a fighter who is vying for a spot on the undercard. In a shocking turn of events, the fighter took to social media to announce the news, stating “It’s official, I will be headlining UFC 314!”

    This unprecedented move has sent shockwaves through the MMA community, as the fighter has yet to be confirmed for a spot on the card, let alone the main event. Fans are buzzing with excitement and anticipation as they await official confirmation from the UFC.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as we await the official announcement from the UFC. Who will this mystery fighter be facing in the main event of UFC 314? Only time will tell.

  • Massive Title Fight Leaked As Main Event for PPV


    UFC middleweight prospect Bo Nickal seems to have let a major cat out of the bag.

    In a video on his YouTube channel, the multi-time NCAA champion stated that UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria will be defending his title against Alexander Volkanovski in a rematch of the former’s title-winning performance in February 2024. The fight is reportedly set for April in the UFC 314 main event.

    When reminded by his co-host that the news hadn’t been announced, Nickal said, “No, it’s official. I know that for a fact. I don’t know that it was announced for a fact, but I know it’s happening. I’m announcing it.”

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he hears from UFC President Dana White or Hunter Campbell after this episode.

    In any case, if Nickal is accurate, UFC 314 is looking really strong. The card is already expected to feature Gilbert Burns taking on big-time prospect Michael Morales, Yan Xiaonan clashing with Virna Jandiroba, and Dominick Reyes fighting Nikita Krylov.

    If these fights stick, UFC 314 would have eight ranked fighters in action on the show’s main card, and we don’t yet appear to have a co-main event in place. The UFC could opt to bring Merab Dvalishvili back to defend his title in a rematch with Sean O’Malley.

    Alternatively, O’Malley could face Cory Sandhagen, with the winner potentially earning the next title shot. O’Malley vs. Petr Yan 2 is another intriguing possibility for the co-main event.

    If you’re looking for a fifth fight on the UFC 314 main card, Nickal also said, “I might fight on that card. That’s the card I’m trying to fight on; April in Miami.”

    Nickal is seemingly in line to face a ranked fighter in his next outing. Nickal vs. No. 15 Michel Pereira or No. 13 Jack Hermansson makes sense. If the UFC wants to push Nickal even higher in his eighth professional fight, they could potentially consider No. 11 Paulo Costa.

    The build for Nickal-Costa would be wildly entertaining.

    What’s Next For the UFC?

    Next up for the UFC is the trip to Saudi Arabia. The card has taken some hits in the past 48 hours, but the main event and co-main event are still set to go.

    In the co-main event, Shara Magomedov faces his toughest test when he takes on Michael “Venom” Page. In the main event, Israel Adesanya faces Nassourdine Imavov.

    Updated UFC Saudi Arabia Fight Card:

    • Israel Adesanya vs. Nassourdine Imavov – Middleweight (185 lbs)
    • Sharabutdin Magomedov vs. Michael Page – Middleweight (185 lbs)
    • Sergei Pavlovich vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik – Heavyweight (265 lbs)

    jey uso vs gunther wwe raw saturday night's main event pro wrestling news today jan 21 2025
    WWE

    WWE is back in primetime this weekend with the latest installment of Saturday Night’s Main Event. After the monster success of the debut episode in December, the promotion hopes to replicate the feat with four matches scheduled to take place in San Antonio as well as an intense contract signing between friends turned rivals. 

    Saturday Night’s Main Event was revived in December after a 16-year absence from WWE programming. The revival is part of a quarterly deal between WWE and NBC to bring the show to prime time. This weekend’s main event is expected to be Jey Uso challenging “The Ring General” Gunther for the world heavyweight title. Uso’s relatives Jacob Fatu and Nia Jax are also on the card.

    The card will also see Bron Breakker look to defend his intercontinental title against Sheamus as the Irishman looks to claim the lone title that has eluded him in his storied career. Plus, Ripley takes on Nia Jax after Jax viciously attacked her on Monday Night Raw earlier in the week.

    Look below at the confirmed Saturday Night’s Main Event matches. Saturday Night’s Main Event airs live on NBC and Peacock on Jan. 25 with the main card starting at 8 p.m. ET.

    2025 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event matches

    World Heavyweight Championship — Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso: The build to this world title program is straightforward. Uso challenged Gunther and Gunther accepted. Gunther repeatedly downplayed Uso’s merits as a title challenger, but Uso sent Gunther reeling during a brawl on the Jan. 20 episode of WWE Raw.

    Intercontinental Championship — Bron Breakker (c) vs. Sheamus: Sheamus is a surefire WWE Hall of Famer, but there’s one accolade hanging over his head. Sheamus has never won the intercontinental title and has fallen short for years. Breakker suggested it’s time for Sheamus to retire, but “The Celtic Warrior” has no intention to do so before collecting his final prize.

    Braun Strowman vs. Jacob Fatu: Strowman crossed paths with The Bloodline soon after returning from injury. Strowman has loosely aligned himself with LA Knight and Sami Zayn to take on The Bloodline. At Saturday Night’s Main Event, behemoths Strowman and Fatu battle.

    Women’s World Championship — Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Nia Jax: Jax attacked Ripley at the beginning of Monday Night Raw on Jan. 20. Ripley bounced back later that night and put hands on her rival. A fighting champion, Ripley challenged Jax with Ripley’s title on the line.

    Undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens contract signing: While it won’t be a match, there’s sure to be fireworks when the two are in the ring on Saturday night. Shawn Michaels will serve as mediator as the two sign on for their ladder match at the Royal Rumble. Every time these two have seen each other has resulted in some sort of brawl. The key hook to Saturday night is that Micheals is charged with collecting both the undisputed WWE title and the retired Winged Eagle title from both men. Be on the look out for some wildness to close the show.

  • Mark Henry On How He Would Have Booked AEW Dynamite’s Main Event


    Jon Moxley defeated Powerhouse Hobbs to retain the AEW World Title on this week’s Dynamite, and Mark Henry says he would have booked the match slightly differently. Henry weighed in on Wednesday’s main event match on Busted Open Radio and you can see the highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):

    On how he would have laid it out: “If I was going to structure the match, I would’ve had Hobbs not get jumped. I would’ve had him go at Claudio. I’d have had him go at them guys and then in the process when he came in, the referee is getting everybody back and Marina throws the briefcase, he gets hits, briefcase slides, Moxley hits him with the finish and then you get a better finish.”

    On the importance of booking good stories around the matches: “[For example,] I love how fast Darby [Allin] moves and how interesting his look is. But, if you don’t put a good story around Darby, it looks like, ‘Why did he bump off of that thing he did jumping backwards?’”





    In a recent interview with Wrestling Inc., WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry shared his thoughts on how he would have booked the main event of AEW Dynamite.

    Henry praised the current AEW roster for their talent and dedication to the craft, but he also offered some insight on how he would have approached booking the main event.

    According to Henry, he would have focused on building up the storyline leading to the main event, putting emphasis on the personal rivalries and conflicts between the competitors. He also mentioned that he would have utilized more backstage segments and promos to further develop the characters and add depth to the storyline.

    Henry emphasized the importance of creating a compelling narrative that would keep the audience engaged and invested in the match. He also stressed the significance of giving each wrestler their own time to shine and showcase their skills in the ring.

    Overall, Mark Henry’s approach to booking AEW Dynamite’s main event would have been centered around storytelling, character development, and giving each wrestler the opportunity to showcase their talents. It’s clear that Henry’s experience and insight would have added a unique perspective to the creative process behind the show.

  • Triple H may have subtly spoiled the result of a major world title match at Saturday Night’s Main Event


    WWE icon Triple H plays an important role in the Stamford-based promotion. He is the company’s CCO and supervises all creative decisions. The Game and the entire creative team have been working tirelessly to build the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event card. However, it seems the 14-time World Champion may have spoiled the result of a major title bout.

    Fans are just hours away from the second edition of the revived SNME. Spectators are very excited about the event, as the match card is extremely stacked and promises to be a night to remember.

    Triple H has seemingly leaked the result of the Women’s World Championship match

    Rhea Ripley defeated Liv Morgan on RAW’s debut on Netflix and captured the Women’s World Championship that she technically never lost. The Nightmare will be defending her title at SNME against Nia Jax.

    Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

    The latest episode of SmackDown saw Nia Jax confronting Rhea Ripley and Tiffany Stratton, where she expressed that she would conquer The Nightmare and capture the Women’s World title at SNME. She previously announced herself for the traditional Women’s 2025 Royal Rumble match.

    As a result, Triple H may have subtly revealed that Nia Jax will lose the match against Rhea Ripley, and continue her stint on the blue brand, ultimately entering the Women’s Rumble.

    SmackDown can’t have two champions

    Tiffany Stratton is the reigning WWE Women’s Champion, having captured the title after cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase on Nia Jax. Although Jax has challenged Rhea Ripley and has made some appearances on RAW, she is still part of the blue brand.

    Nia Jax’s official WWE page still features her under the Friday Night SmackDown brand. Since the two shows don’t usually have two major women’s champions; it could be seen as another hint dropped by Triple H that The Irresistible Force might potentially lose her title bout against Mami.

    Nia Jax has less competition as the champion

    Nia Jax recently had an illustrious run as a champion, where she managed to establish herself as a top heel superstar. However, as a Women’s Champion, she is definitely out of competition when compared to Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley.

    Tiffany is rumored to face Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 41, and recent reports suggest that Bianca Belair has been heavily pitched as Ripley’s ‘Mania opponent. Jax does not have much competition in store to carry the title to WrestleMania; she could embark on a new journey and chase the tag team titles.

    That said, the proposed angles above are speculative and it remains to be seen how Triple H and the creative team will book the women’s division with WrestleMania 41 on the horizon.
