This weeks marks AEW’s first-ever Worlds End pay-per-view, which takes place from Long Island New York and will be headlined by MJF defending the world championship against Samoa Joe.
Il était “l’un des conseillers les plus expérimentés des Gardiens”. Un général des Gardiens de la révolution, l’armée idéologique de l’Iran, a été tué en Syrie dans une frappe imputée à Israël menée près de Damas, a rapporté lundi 25 décembre l’agence officielle iranienne Irna. Razi Moussavi a été tué lors d’une “attaque du régime sioniste menée il y a quelques heures” contre le quartier de Sayyida Zeinab, au sud de Damas a précisé Irna.
Israël “paiera certainement pour ce crime”, a déclaré le président iranien Ebrahim Raïssi dans un communiqué. “Cette action est sans aucun doute un autre signe de frustration, d’impuissance et d’incapacité du régime sioniste usurpateur dans la région”, a-t-il ajouté. Israël commente rarement ses opérations en Syrie mais dit vouloir empêcher l’Iran, son ennemi juré, de s’implanter à ses portes. Interrogée lundi à propos de la mort de Razi Moussavi, l’armée israélienne a dit ne “pas commenter les informations des médias étrangers”.
La République islamique est l’un des principaux soutiens internationaux du Hamas, dont l’attaque du 7 octobre en Israël a fait environ 1 140 morts, en majorité des civils, en Israël, selon un décompte de l’AFP basé sur les derniers chiffres officiels israéliens disponibles. Dans un communiqué, les Gardiens ont présenté le “brigadier-général Moussavi” comme “le responsable logistique de l’axe de la résistance” [groupes armés en lutte contre Israël] en Syrie.

Summary
Tonight’s episode of Smackdown will feature the follow-up to last Saturday’s Survivor Series, and will emanate from a familiar venue in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. On a personal level I wish I could attend the show since it’s about an hour drive from my house, but I will be unable due to work.
It looks like the show is built around appearances, the first of which is Randy Orton. Randy, who returned to the WWE at Survivor Series, will appear at the behest of G.M. Nick Aldis. He cut a return promo on Raw, was interrupted by Rhea Ripley and the Judgment Day, and defeated North American Champion Dominik Mysterio later in the show. He’s not designated on either brand, nor is he listed as a free agent on WWE’s website. Randy has a history with the Bloodline, against whom he vowed vengeance on Raw. He’s now involved with Judgment Day as a result of partaking in WarGames on Saturday and what took place this past Monday night.

In addition to Orton, Logan Paul returns to Smackdown. He won the U.S. Championship from Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel. What took place in that match involving the foreign object Logan used led to strife within the LWO, which has seen Santos Escobar split away from the faction. WWE is hinting on their website that the next challenger will emerge. I don’t read a ton into this, but there was an indirect social media exchange between he and Intercontinental Champion Gunther:
https://twitter.com/loganpaul/status/1726285695021637763?s=61&t=TcFa1IBlEpI9mAVN3xvZ UQ
I don’t expect Gunther to be the next challenger, but a match between these two guys is something that should be on our radars moving forward.
Finally, Kevin Owens is advertised to wrestle Grayson Waller. These two have been at it for a little while now, with the latest chapter taking place on last week’s show when Kevin was scheduled as a guest on the Grayson Waller effect.
Coming out of PPVs there tends to be less matches set up, so I suspect other matches will be set up throughout the show if not announced closer to showtime. WWE released a sneak preview which talks about follow up on the inner goings of Damage CTRL, which appears headed for changes with Bayley’s ouster being the most obvious.

LA Knight can open doors in Hagerstown, MD.
“YEAH!”
The WWE Superstar is not only “The Mega Star” in WWE, he’s also pretty big in the city of Hagerstown, Maryland after this past Saturday night.
Knight received the key to the city of his hometown in Hagerstown, MD. in a special ceremony held this weekend.
Featured below is the complete video of the event, which featured LA Knight receiving the key to the city and addressing the crowd in attendance.
Le Royaume-Uni va déployer un navire de patrouille militaire en soutien au Guyana, en pleine crise avec le Venezuela autour de l’Essequibo, a déclaré Londres, dimanche 24 décembre. “Le HMS Trent va se rendre au Guyana, notre allié régional et partenaire dans le cadre du Commonwealth ce mois-ci pour une série d’engagements dans la région”, écrit le ministère britannique de la Défense dans un communiqué, sans plus de précisions.
Selon la BBC, le patrouilleur doit participer à des manœuvres militaires après Noël avec d’autres alliés non précisés de l’ancienne colonie britannique, à qui Londres avait déjà affiché son soutien en dépêchant sur place son secrétaire d’Etat chargé des Amériques. Le HMS Trent, d’habitude basé dans la Méditerranée, avait été envoyé début décembre dans les Caraïbes pour lutter contre les trafics de drogue.
La tension est montée après le lancement en septembre d’appels d’offres pétroliers par le Guyana, puis le référendum organisé en réaction le 3 décembre au Venezuela sur un rattachement de l’Essequibo, territoire de 160 000 km2 riche en pétrole et ressources naturelles, administré par Georgetown et revendiqué par Caracas.
Le président guyanien, Irfaan Ali, et son homologue vénézuélien, Nicolas Maduro, se sont rencontrés le 15 décembre lors d’un sommet qui a contribué à faire baisser la pression, avec la promesse mutuelle de ne pas utiliser la force, mais qui n’a pas résolu le différend, les deux pays campant sur leurs positions.

Progress Wrestling announced today that it has scheduled the second-ever non-U.K.-based live event on Apr. 5, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pa. at Penns Landing Caterers with a 3 p.m. start time.
“Those attending will be so close to not just U.S. historical landmarks but wrestling heritage, as the ECW Arena is just five minutes from the venue,” Progress co-owner Lee McAteer said in a press release issued to PWTorch. “You can run the Rocky steps, which are just 10 minutes away, and after all that, you’ll probably be hungry for the famous Pat’s Cheesesteaks within walking distance! Returning to the U.S is an important step for Progress Wrestling”
Details on schedules, ticket packages, partners, and additional information will be released soon.
“This one-time-only chance to witness our first Chapter show since Mardi Graps in New Orleans – which was five years ago now – is such an exciting opportunity for our U.S. fans,” said co-owner Martyn Best. “The Collective, spanning from April 4 to April 6, will feature shows from renowned promotions like GCW, DEFY, DDT, and TJPW streaming on FITE TV. Moreover, it is more fantastic content for our own Demand Progress Plus viewing experience.”
Progress Wrestling was founded in 2012. After a shutsdown, Progress was re-launched in 2022 under the new ownership of Lee McAteer and Martyn Best. Former Progress Champions include Walter (Gunther in WWE), Toni Storm, Pete Dunne (Butch in WWE), Cara Noir, Jonathan Gresham, Big Damo, Will Ospreay, Matt Riddle, Jordynne Grace, Gisele Shaw, Eddie Dennis, CCK, Grizzled Young Veterans, Trent Seven, and Aussie Open.
