NEW RAW LOGO FOR NETFLIX UNVEILED

- The brand-new Raw logo was revealed in a video on social media ahead of the Netflix premiere. The slick video shows Triple H arriving at the new WWE Headquarters in Stamford as he pulls up in a car. "A logo is an identity, tells you everything you need to know without saying anything at all," Triple H says as he opens the car and walks into the state-of-the-art building. "It's real, rebellious, raw," he continues. Triple H then walks in front of a large video screen and says, "Welcome to Raw on Netflix," as the new logo is displayed. Raw moves to Netflix on Monday, January 6 with a live broadcast from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Over 10,000 expensive tickets have already been sold for the show.

MONE VS SHIRAKAWA SET FOR WRESTLE DYNASTY

- Two titles will be up for grabs in the same match at Wrestle Dynasty next month in a bout involving Mercedes Mone and Mina Shirakawa. Mone last night headlined the NJPW Strong Style Evolved show and successfully defended the NJPW Strong Women's title against Hazuki. But after the match, Shirakawa made an appearance and said that she wants to take on Mone at Wrestle Dynasty in Tokyo. Mone agreed to have her NJPW Strong Women's title on the line as long as Shirakawa pus up her RevPro Undisputed British Women's title on the line as well. Shirakawa agreed to the deal and the two had a dance off the end the show. This means that if Mone beats Mina, she will hold the TBS title, NJPW Strong Women's title, and RevPro's Women's title, three titles from three different promotions and different countries. Shirakawa just recently lost a match against Mariah May for the AEW Women's title last week on Dynamite.

YOUNG BUCKS APPEAR AT NJPW SHOW

- The Young Bucks made a surprise appearance last night at the NJPW Strong Style Evolved show, coming to the aid of Jack Perry. The former AEW Tag Team champions attacked Shingo Takagi, Hiromu Takahashi, and Yota Tsuji following their tag match against Perry and Konosuke Takeshita in the second to last match on the 10-match card. After all the dust cleared, Matthew Jackson grabbed the mic and said it was great to be back in an NJPW ring and come January 5, they will take the IWGP Tag Team titles. The two will face Great-O-Khan and a partner of his choice at Wrestle Dynasty, marking their first NJPW match since 2019. The Bucks were last seen on AEW television in October, losing their titles to Private Party.

HAMMERSTONE TO UNDERGO MINOR SURGERY

- TNA star Hammerstone will be undergoing surgery for a knee injury which kept him out of the Final Resolution event this past Friday. Hammerstone was scheduled to team up with Jake Something against PCO and Sami Callihan and The Rascalz in a triple tag team match but the company announced that he was not medically cleared to compete. In a post on social media, the 33-year-old said that for the first time in his career, he has to undergo surgery, "which really sucks," but he's confident it's a "pretty minor procedure" which will not keep him out of the ring for a long time. The former MLW champion joined TNA earlier this year and has also appeared on NXT as part of the talent exchange the two had going on for months.
