• CM Punk Defends Top WWE Star After Online Criticism
During an interview on Busted Open Radio, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk defended Jey Uso:
“Jey Uso, in every arena, like, I’m battling with John Cena and Jey Uso as who sells more t-shirts on any given night. Everybody is going crazy for his music. They’re yeeting, they want him to run it back. This dude can go on TV for 10 minutes and just YEET.
But then if you went on the internet, ‘Oh, he’s the worst wrestler alive.’ Is he, or are you just extremely hyperbolic? Everything nowadays, ‘This is the best thing ever. This is the worst thing ever. I don’t like this, so you have to not like it too.’ It’s really just like, ‘Like what you like. Champion that.’ I try to stay away from the negativity.
Jey Uso is f**king phenomenal. He is 100%. We just live these lives that are so public that everybody wants to point fingers and laugh if we like slip on a banana peel or make a mistake.”
• Possible Return Spoiler For RAW In Germany
The wait for the Megastar might finally be over. After being absent from WWE RAW programming for over a month, LA Knight is traveling to join the current international tour.
According to Fightful Select, Knight was scheduled to travel to Germany this week, coinciding with the January 12 episode of Monday Night RAW being held in the country. While a televised return hasn’t been officially confirmed by WWE, the company’s history of flying talent overseas during a tour is a strong indicator that a comeback is on the horizon.
Knight has been off the grid since the December 8, 2025, episode of RAW, where he faced off against Logan Paul and was brutally assaulted by “Big” Bronson Reed, where Reed hit Knight with a Tsunami on top of a car.
Following that encounter, Knight was written off television with an “indefinite injury,” though many insiders speculated it was a strategic move to freshen up his character for the 2026 season. The timing of his return is crucial, as the road to the Royal Rumble is officially underway.
Adding fuel to the fire, WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select recently noted that Knight’s name has been internally listed for the Royal Rumble week festivities in Saudi Arabia.
With the massive event just weeks away, a return in Germany would allow Knight to build momentum heading into one of the biggest nights of the year.
Today’s RAW in Düsseldorf, Germany, will have a special start time of 2 PM ET on Netflix. Below is the advertised card:
– New WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY will kick off the show
– World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk will address his victory over Bron Breakker
– Raquel Rodriguez will address Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer
– The Vision (Bronson Reed and Austin Theory) vs. Penta and Dragon Lee
– First Time Ever: Gunther vs. AJ Styles
