Street Profits Set for NXT Live Event Return

Posted by admin on January 27th, 2026

Street Profits Set for NXT Live Event Return – The Street Profits appear ready to step back into the ring this weekend, though their return will not take place on Friday Night SmackDown.

According to a new report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are scheduled to work upcoming NXT live events. The appearances would mark their first in-ring action after several weeks away from WWE television, a gap that sparked speculation about their status.

Their recent absence led many to wonder if injuries were involved, but that does not appear to be the case. Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that both Ford and Dawkins are healthy and cleared to compete. Instead, their time away from weekly programming was described as a deliberate creative decision by WWE.

“Neither of the Street Profits are hurt,” the report stated. “The decision was just made to take them off TV to allow them to freshen up.”

The move suggests WWE officials may be planning a reset or adjustment for the team before bringing them back to SmackDown. Taking established acts off television for a short period is a strategy WWE has used in the past, often to help prevent overexposure or to prepare for changes in presentation, alignment, or direction.

Working NXT live events fits that approach. WWE has frequently sent main roster talent to NXT house shows as a way to stay sharp, work through new ideas, or reconnect with live crowds in a lower-pressure environment. For Ford and Dawkins, the NXT loop could provide an opportunity to test subtle changes or simply regain momentum before returning to national television.

The Street Profits were last featured prominently on SmackDown during the summer of 2025. At that time, they were positioned as one of the brand’s top tag teams. Their most recent title run began on the March 14, 2025 episode of SmackDown, when they defeated #DIY to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships. The reign included a successful defense in a TLC match in April, reinforcing their status as a centerpiece of the division.

That run ended on July 11, 2025, when they dropped the titles to Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy of The Wyatt Sicks. Following that loss, the team gradually faded from weekly storylines before being removed from television entirely.

With reports confirming they are healthy and active, their involvement in NXT live events appears to be a step toward an eventual return to SmackDown. When that happens, it remains to be seen whether the Street Profits return in the same role or with a refreshed presentation designed to reestablish them in the tag team picture.

Update on Tiffany Stratton’s WWE Absence and Royal Rumble Status

Posted by admin on January 27th, 2026

Update on Tiffany Stratton’s WWE Absence and Royal Rumble Status – Speculation has continued to build around a possible return for former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton, with recent rumblings suggesting she could resurface this weekend at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Stratton has been absent from WWE television for several months, and her disappearance from programming has fueled ongoing questions about her status. A new report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider has added further attention to the situation.

For a time, some believed Stratton’s absence was the result of a creative reset following her loss of the WWE Women’s Championship. However, additional reporting has clarified that this is not the case. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a physical setback is the main reason Stratton has been sidelined. Meltzer reported that Stratton has been dealing with an injury, though WWE has not publicly disclosed any details regarding the nature or severity of the issue.

Stratton’s time away from the ring began immediately after her championship loss to Jade Cargill at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1, 2025. That title change stood out at the time due to how brief the match was, lasting under six minutes. In hindsight, the short duration may have been influenced by the injury either occurring during the match or being aggravated while it was taking place. Since that night, Stratton has not wrestled on WWE television, leaving SmackDown’s women’s division without one of its most prominent stars from 2025.

Throughout much of last year, Stratton was positioned as a central figure on SmackDown. Her rise included winning the Money in the Bank briefcase and successfully cashing it in to capture the WWE Women’s Championship. Her sudden absence following such a strong run made her situation even more noticeable, especially as WrestleMania season approached.

Despite being out of action, Stratton has remained visible through social media. She has continued to post photos and videos that tease her eventual return, keeping fan interest high and ensuring her name remains part of the conversation. Those posts have led many to speculate about when “Tiffy Time” might officially resume.

If the reports placing Stratton in Riyadh this weekend are accurate, her appearance in the Women’s Royal Rumble match would immediately change the landscape of the division. Given her recent championship history and momentum prior to the injury, she would likely be viewed as a serious contender. A Royal Rumble return would also put her in position to pursue Jade Cargill again or set her sights on whichever superstar holds the title coming out of the event.

1/22 TNA iMPACT Sees Slight Ratings Dip on AMC (UPDATED)

Posted by admin on January 27th, 2026

1/22 TNA iMPACT Sees Slight Ratings Dip on AMC – The January 22 episode of TNA iMPACT experienced a small decline in viewership on AMC, according to Programming Insider. The show averaged 171,000 viewers, down slightly from the 173,000 viewers recorded for the January 15 broadcast. The drop of 2,000 viewers represents a modest 1.2 percent decrease week to week, keeping the program relatively stable following its recent move to the network.

In the key P18–49 demographic, iMPACT posted a 0.03 rating. This figure was also down from the 0.04 rating the show earned the previous week. While the dip in the demo reflects a softer performance, the overall numbers suggest that TNA continues to hold a consistent audience on AMC despite natural week-to-week fluctuations.

The January 22 episode featured several notable developments that generated strong discussion among fans. One of the biggest moments of the night came during the Feast or Fired match, which saw Trey Miguel make a surprise return to TNA programming. Miguel’s appearance caught viewers off guard and added immediate energy to the match. By the end of the bout, he secured one of the Feast or Fired briefcases, making his comeback even more impactful.

The closing moments of the show also delivered a major storyline twist. The System executed a shocking turn, shifting the direction of the faction moving forward. The angle was capped off by Bear Bronson aligning himself with the group, a development that further altered the landscape of TNA storylines. The move signals a new chapter for both Bronson and The System, with potential long-term implications for future episodes.

In addition to these headline moments, the episode included several other storyline advancements and character developments throughout the night. These segments helped maintain momentum and gave viewers multiple reasons to stay engaged from start to finish.

While the ratings showed a slight decline, the overall performance suggests that TNA iMPACT remains steady on AMC. With ongoing storylines, surprise returns, and faction shakeups, the promotion appears focused on building consistency as it continues to establish itself on its new television home.

AJ Styles Vs. CM Punk For World Heavyweight Title Set For WWE Raw Main Event Tonight

Posted by admin on January 27th, 2026

AJ Styles poses in the ring ahead of his match against Shinsuke Nakamura at Saturday Night's Main Event.

WWE

Fresh off his victory over Shinsuke Nakamura at Saturday Night’s Main Event, AJ Styles is set to face CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of “WWE Raw.” Styles opened the show on Monday and said it was no secret he plans to retire in 2026, even if he beats GUNTHER at the Royal Rumble. He said if he does take down “The Ring General,” he wants another run as world champion.

That brought out Punk, who questioned Styles for putting his career on the line against GUNTHER on Saturday. Styles told the champion he was coming off disrespectful and he knows he can beat both GUNTHER and Punk. Punk said that if Saturday doesn’t go well for Styles, he can’t ever prove that he can beat him.

Styles put forth the option that if he and Punk fought on Monday and he beat him, then went on to beat GUNTHER and continue his career, that he would be considered number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk briefly considered the idea, then said he declared himself a fighting champion back when he won the belt in November. He said if they were going to fight on “Raw,” it would be for the title. “The Phenomenal One” accepted, and shortly after the segment, the match was confirmed to be the main event by commentary.
