I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Monday, January 18, 2021.

This update is sponsored by IndyWrestling.us.

Results from Impact’s Hard To Kill pay per view are straight ahead in this update but first…

(STINGER: WWE)

WWE with a major announcement over the weekend - setting the dates and locations of the next THREE WrestleManias.

First, this year’s WrestleMania will be a two-night event for the second straight year - on Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11. This year’s Mania was originally scheduled for March 28 at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Instead, it’ll be held at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium - which was supposed to host last year’s Mania before COVID-19 ruined those plans.

There will be live fans in attendance. WWE said it will announce ticket availability and safety protocols in the coming weeks.

WWE also announced next year’s WrestleMania will be at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Sofi Stadium in LA will finally get its WrestleMania in 2023.

Tonight’s Monday Night Raw has double champion Asuka in a non-title match against Alexa Bliss.

Adam Pearce went on Twitter Sunday night to thank fans who supported the idea of him challenging Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at the Royal Rumble. That title shot was shifted to Kevin Owens on Friday’s SmackDown. Pearce added that he’s “not medically cleared”.

(STINGER: AEW)

Nyla Rose is OFF of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite. She announced Saturday she’s isolating after an immediate family member tested positive for COVID-19. She was set for a match against Leyla Hirsch on Dynamite.

TSN’s social media announced Sunday that Penelope Ford will be taking Rose’s spot in that match against Hirsch.

The card for Tuesday night’s AEW Dark was announced over the weekend. It includes a match for Sonny Kiss. There was speculation over the past week that Sonny was injured, but Sonny said he’s ok.

(STINGER: Impact)

AEW Champ Kenny Omega PINNED Impact Champ Rich Swann as the team of Omega, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows...beat Swann, Chris Sabin and Moose n the main event of Impact’s Hard To Kill pay per view Saturday night..

After the show, Moose attacked Swann backstage. Moose is in line for a future shot at the Impact title. He was a late substitute for Alex Shelley.

Impact announced Friday Shelley was off the show due to “unavoidable circumstances”. There was a follow-up from Shelley himself on Saturday.

Deonna Purrazo retained the Knockouts title against Taya Valkyrie.

Manik held onto the X-Division title.

Results from Friday night’s SmackDown and New Japan Strong are straight ahead in this update but first…

Impact Wrestling presenting its Hard To Kill pay per view tonight..and there’s a last-minute change to the main event.

Impact announced Friday that Alex Shelley is off the show due to “unavoidable circumstances”. Moose will take his place in the interpromotional showdown - teaming with Impact Champ Rich Swann and Chris Sabin...against AEW Champ Kenny Omega and Impact tag champs Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows.

Also tonight, the finals of the Knockouts Tag Team title tournament: Havok and Nevaeh vs. Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz

Deonna Purrazzo is defending her Knockouts Championship against Taya Valkyrie.

Manik puts his X-Division title on the line in a 3-way against Chris Bey and Rohit Raju.

A Barbed Wire Massacre between Sami Callihan and Eddie Edwards.

Plus, Ethan Page vs. his alter ego The Karate Man.

(STINGER: WWE)

So much for Adam Pearce’s Universal Title shot at the Royal Rumble.

Pearce appeared to outsmart Roman Reigns on last night’s SmackDown...luring Reigns into signing a contract for a Last Man Standing match. But as soon as Reigns put pen to paper, Pearce started complaining about an old knee injury...then revealed his suitable replacement - Kevin Owens, who will now challenge Reigns at the Rumble.

Two more entrants for the men’s Royal Rumble were announced last night - Jey Uso and Cesaro.

Cesaro got a big win last night - using the Neutralizer to beat Daniel Bryan. While Jey Uso opened the show with a LOSS to Shinsuke Nakamura.

Apollo Crews used a handful of tights to pin Sami Zayn. Crews gets another shot at Big E’s Intercontinental Championship on next week’s SmackDown. We should also note that Apollo was seen in Roman Reigns’ dressing room during the show.

Sounds like we’re gonna get an intergender match in WWE. Sasha Banks agreed to give Carmella another shot at the SmackDown women’s title - but only AFTER Sasha gets a match against Carmella’s sommelier Reginald.

TWO first round matches in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic held on last night’s 205 Live. No big surprises. Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza got past the Bollywood Boyz...and Killian Dane and Drake Maverick beat August Grey and Curt Stallion.

WWE is now promoting Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss for Monday night’s Raw!

(STINGER: Ring Of Honor)

Shane Taylor is next in line for a shot at the Ring Of Honor World Championship currently held by Rush. ROH announced Friday that Taylor won an online fan vote by a wide margin. The date for that title match is still to be determined.

(STINGER: New Japan)

New Japan will kick off its Road To The New Beginning Tour Sunday at Korakuen Hall. It’s a tag team main event - SHO & Master Wato vs. Jr. Heavyweight Champ Hiromu Takahashi & BUSHI.

El Phantasmo’s suspiciously powerful superkick struck again on last night’s New Japan Strong..as he delivered the finishing blow for Bullet Club’s team.

Next Friday, we’ll get the New Japan Strong debut of Ren Narita - taking on Ring Of Honor’s Bateman.

(STINGER: AEW)

A follow-up on that report a couple weeks ago about AEW shifting its TV production to Miami for a month. Bodyslam.net’s Cassidy Haynes - who was behind that original report - now says the road trip is canceled - and AEW is staying at Jacksonville’s Daily’s Place indefinitely.

AEW announced Friday the latest postponement of what it hopes will one day be a LIVE Dynamite at Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center. The new date is September 15. The show was originally scheduled for last March.

I’m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Thursday, January 14, 2021..

This update is sponsored by IndyWrestling.us.

Results from last night’s AEW Dynamite, NXT and MLW Fusion are straight ahead in this update but first…

(STINGER: WWE)

A major title match set for today’s NXT UK - WALTER will be defending his United Kingdom Championship against A-Kid. Also, Tyler Bate will be in action against Sam Gradwell.

The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is underway. THREE first-round matches on last night’s NXT.

Earlier in the day, WWE announced we’d see the debut of a new team - called MSK. It turned out to be the team formerly known as The Rascalz - Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz now known as Wes Lee & Nash Carter. They advanced with a win over Isaiah "Swerve" Scott & Jake Atlas.

The Grizzled Young Veterans beat Ever-Rise...and Adam Cole & Roderick Strong got past Breezango. But they needed a little backup to do it. During the match, Pete Dunne, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch attacked Kyle O’Reilly at ringside. That drew out NXT Champion Finn Balor returning the favor to the Undisputed Era, who saved him from Dunne, Lorcan and Burch earlier in the show.

The first-ever WOMEN’S Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will not wait until the men’s edition is complete. That tournament will begin on NEXT week’s NXT - with Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter vs. Toni Storm & Mercedes Martinez.

Two other teams also announced last night - Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell..and Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon. But the full tournament bracket is still being kept under wraps.

Two first round matches in the men’s Dusty Classic also announced for next week - Kushida & Leon Ruff vs. Johnny Gargano & Austin Theory....and Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner vs. Gran Metalik & Lince Dorado.

We’ll also finally get Tommaso Ciampa vs. Timothy Thatcher in the FIGHT PIT on next week’s NXT.

(STINGER: AEW)

Now, let’s dig into last night’s AEW Dynamite.

Darby Allin is still the TNT Champion. He survived an offensive onslaught from Brian Cage, then got a late assist from Sting when Team Taz got involved.

For a few moments, it looked like Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks would team up for a 6-man tag. But Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows snuck in to take the Bucks’ spots. Omega and the Good Brothers beat the Varsity Blondes and Danny Limelight.

After the match, Jon Moxley tried to beat the odds. When he was overwhelmed, Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero M came to the rescue. When Mox got Omega back in his sights, the Young Bucks came out to stop him...but Fenix and Penta surprised the Bucks with a pair of superkicks.

The show opened with Pac beating Eddie Kingston.

Miro soundly defeated Chuck Taylor. That means Chuck must now serve as Miro’s “butler” for the next month or so.

Serena Deeb beat Tay Conti to retain the NWA Women’s Championship.

Some key matches set up for next Wednesday.

Hangman Page says he’ll again team with the Dark Order..and promised to give the group an answer to their offer for him to join them.

Also made for next week, a tag team triple threat involving most of the Inner Circle - Santana & Ortiz vs. Chris Jericho & MJF vs. Jake Hager & Sammy Guevara. Again, that’s next Wednesday.

And a match made for AEW’s Beach Break special on February 3rd - Dr. Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa.

(STINGER: Impact)

Impact Wrestling is giving its announce team an overhaul. The new team of Matt Striker and D’Lo Brown will debut at Saturday’s Hard to Kill pay per view. Josh Matthews is being promoted into an off-camera position.

New tag champs in Major League Wrestling - The Von Erichs were dethroned by Los Parks. It did not come easy. It took interference from Salina de la Renta and persistently nefarious officiating by special guest referee FILTHY Tom Lawlor. Also, on Wednesday’s Fusion - former Lucha Underground champ Mil Muertes made his MLW debut with a dominating win over Brian Pillman Jr.

A title change in Dragon Gate early Wednesday. We have new Open The Triangle Gate champs - Kzy, Susumu Yokosuka & Genki Horiguchi. They dethroned Takashi Yoshida, KAZMA SAKAMOTO & SB KENTo.
