\\n\\n

Results from Thursday\\u2019s NXT UK are straight ahead in this update but first\\u2026

\\n\\n

(STINGER: WWE)

\\n\\n

Tonight\\u2019s SmackDown is the final stop before Sunday\\u2019s Royal Rumble, but as of Thursday night, WWE has yet to promote anything specific for tonight\\u2019s show.

\\n\\n

On the Raw side of things, Goldberg has a message for the \\u201chaters\\u201d out there...as he gets ready for his Universal Title match against Drew McIntyre at the Rumble.

\\n\\n

(Goldberg On The Haters)

\\n\\n

Goldberg speaking with Ryan Satin for Fox Sports.

\\n\\n

Meiko Satomura is back on WWE TV...in NXT UK. A promo video aired on Thursday\\u2019s show, and Satomura made it clear she\\u2019s coming for Kay Lee Ray\\u2019s UK women\\u2019s championship.

\\n\\n

Pretty Deadly - Sam Stoker and Lewis Howley - are the new #1 contenders for the NXT UK tag titles. They won a 4-way elimination match - with some help from Eddie Dennis, who was supposed to be banned from ringside.

\\n\\n

Also, Trent Seven said he plans to drop some weight and challenge for Jordan Devlin\\u2019s cruiserweight title.

\\n\\n

Circling back to this past Wednesday, Tegan Nox shared an update on her recovery from major knee surgery.

\\n\\n

(Tegan Nox Injury Update)

\\n\\n

Nox has been out of action since September, when suffered a torn ACL - her THIRD major knee ligament injury since 2017.

\\n\\n

(STINGER: New Japan)

\\n\\n

Lio Rush will make his New Japan Strong debut on tonight\\u2019s show. He\\u2019ll team with Fred Rosser and TJP to take on the Bullet Club team of KENTA, El Phantasmo and Hikuleo.

\\n\\n

Also, Chris Dickinson, who just made his New Japan debut a few weeks ago will take on Rocky Romero.

\\n\\n

Back in Japan, one of the BIG shows of The New Beginning Tour goes down Saturday morning.

\\n\\n

Shingo Takagi defends the NEVER Title against Hiroshi Tanahashi in the main event. Plus, Will Ospreay vs. Satoshi Kojima - NO DISQUALIFICATION...and Great-O-Khan vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan - the loser there will no longer be permitted to use the Mongolian Chop!

\\n\\n

(STINGER: ROH)

\\n\\n

Mike Bennett returns from injury on this weekend\\u2019s Ring Of Honor TV. He and Matt Taven will take on The Bouncers.

\\n\\n

Plus, Jonathan Gresham defends his Pure Championship against ROH Dojo student Joe Keys.

\\n\\n

(STINGER: AEW)

\\n\\n

A new match added to AEW\\u2019s Beach Break special next Wednesday - A rematch between Lance Archer and Eddie Kingston - only this time it\\u2019ll be a Lumberjack Match!

\\n\\n

(STINGER: Impact)

\\n\\n

Alex Shelley shed some more light on why he\\u2019s been absent from Impact TV since just before the Hard To Kill pay per view. Shelley said it\\u2019s due to tighter COVID-19 restrictions at his OTHER job as a physical therapy clinician. He said he won\\u2019t return to Impact until he\\u2019s vaccinated.

\\n\\n

I thought that referee on Wednesday\\u2019s MLW Fusion looked familiar. It was disgraced former NBA ref Tim Donaghy, making his first appearance in a pro wrestling ring. Donaghy cost Savio Vega the Carribean Heavyweight Championship by blocking Vega\\u2019s path to victory in a Carribean Strap Match against Richard Holliday.

\\n\\n

Donaghy served time in federal prison for his role in a gambling scandal in which he conspired to FIX NBA games.

\\n\\n

GCW\\u2019s 24-hour independent pro wrestling marathon, Fight Forever, kicks off tonight at 8PM
\\nIt\\u2019s streaming for free on both FITE TV and YouTube. Promoters are hoping to raise $50,000 for the wrestlers. Just Pro Wrestling News is among those sponsoring the event.
