SUNDAY NEWS UPDATE
Bryan and I will be back tonight with Wrestling Observer Radio covering the latest pro wrestling and MMA news. You can send e-mail questions to the show to [email protected]. Our weekend show with Garrett Gonzalez talking a ton of different subjects is also up.
For the first week I can recall this happening, nothing from pro wrestling, MMA or boxing cracked the top 20 as far as searches for the day. UFC wouldn’t be expected to with no show. Pro wrestling usually only does for a WWE PPV and perhaps an AEW or NXT big show. Wrestle Kingdom has done so in the past but the interest level in the U.S wasn’t there this year as compared to a few years back.
This is the last slow weekend for a long time. UFC will start running every Saturday for a while going forward. Impact has a PPV this coming week, with UFC having the Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier show on 1/23 which could end up as the biggest number of the year, and Royal Rumble coming the weekend after.
From BetOnline.ag some Royal Rumble odds favorites:
Daniel Bryan -125
Keith Lee +400
Big E +500
Edge +500
Brock Lesnar +600
Bill Goldberg +800
A.J. Styles +1000
Dwayne Johnson +1000
Kevin Owens +1200
Roman Reigns +1200
For the women:
Bianca Belair +450
Rhea Ripley +500
Alexa Bliss +600
Ronda Rousey +800
Shayna Baszler +800
Becky Lynch +900
Bayley +1000
Charlotte Flair +1200
Sasha Banks +1400

WWE
A CNBC story noting the group that helped organize the violent break-in at the Capitol on Wednesday was donated to by the Linda McMahon led SuperPac.
UFC
Hakeem Dawodu is out of his 1/23 fight with Shane Burgos due to a shoulder injury. Burgos is no longer scheduled to fight on the card.
With Mike Grundy out of the scheduled 1/23 fight with Nik Lentz, Lentz will now face Movsar Evloev. At this point it has not been reported why Grundy is out of the show.
Yancy Medeiros, who lives in Hawaii, was on Friday’s episode of Magnum P.I. He played a trainer of a woman who was being forced to throw a fight by a branch of the Yakuza. In the original Hawaii 5-O, show based in Hawaii, several episodes had pro wrestlers on it for fight scenes and the like. There is a funny Pampero Firpo story where he was supposed to be in an episode, but he came in with ideas for creative for his character and I think they just wanted him as an extra to get beat up and suffice to say he never appeared on that show.

AEW
There was a Rest in Peace Jon Huber graphic on Thursday night’s TV show “Impractical Jokers.”
