He made fun of Cody, Arn Anderson, and Brandi Rhodes saying she\u2019s the only woman not a stripper named Brandi (Ethan slipped in \u201cnot currently\u201d a stripper). Brandi came out and called Lambert a bobble-headed, ugly-ass, less talented version of Paul Heyman. Brandi said she would whoop his ass, to which Lambert said he was a black belt. She said, \u201cwell I\u2019m a black bitch.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Jade Cargill defeated Thunder Rosa to advance to the finals of the TBS Championship tournament.<\/li>\n<li>CM Punk appeared at Daily\u2019s Place for the first time and stated his intentions for the AEW World Champion.

It\u2019s AEW\u2019s second appearance within the tri-state arena within the past month after appearing at the UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. on December 8, 2021. The arena, known as \u201cThe Rock\u201d (no, not Dwayne Johnson), is home the NHL\u2019s New Jersey Devils. It opened in 2007 and has been a frequent host to WWE, starting with Hell in a Cell in 2009 and last hosting Raw in July of 2019. Dynamite\u2019s \u201cBlood and Guts\u201d special was supposed to take place in this building in March of 2020 but got cancelled due to COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight\u2019s episode will be the first to air on TBS, a network seeing wrestling for the first time since 2000 when WCW Saturday Night ended its eight-year run on the network. The show went through many incarnations after its creation in 1971 including Georgia Championship Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling (different from the WCW that started in 1988). Who could forget Black Saturday in 1984 when Vince McMahon appeared on TBS to introduce WWF programming when fans expected Gordon Solie and the stars of the Georgia promotion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Before tonight&#39;s first <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TBSNetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TBSNetwork<\/a> LIVE at 8\/7c, start your morning with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tonyschiavone24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tonyschiavone24<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEW<\/a> Control Center with the latest news, highlights and inside information.

He told Wardlow that when he wins the Faces of the Revolution ladder match to earn a shot at the TNT Championship, and when he in fact wins the title, he must contractually relinquish it to him. When Wardlow objected, \u201cSmart\u201d Mark Sterling came in to read the contract and confirmed what MJF said. MJF said it\u2019s time for him to accumulate wins so he can be TNT and AEW World Champion.<\/p>\n<p>AEW has advertised that MJF will be \u201cin action\u201d (code for wrestling a squash match). I mentioned earlier CM Punk said he was done with MJF, so they don\u2019t won\u2019t wrestle tonight, but that story is clearly not over. MJF, a native Long Islander, is none too pleased he must be in New Jersey tonight.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2026..Jersey. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6yzQfRLEFf\">pic.twitter.com\/6yzQfRLEFf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Maxwell Jacob Friedman\u2122\ufe0f (@The_MJF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/The_MJF\/status\/1478534494109982725?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019m not breaking any news when I say the breakup of Wardlow and MJF is coming.

Sooner or later, they\u2019ll have to go back to MJF vs. Punk, which has got to be penciled in for Revolution.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>TBS Championship Tournament Final Match: Ruby Soho vs. Jade Cargill<\/h4>\n<p>Ruby Soho\u2019s destination is known for sure now as she goes one-on-one with Jade Cargill tonight in the finals of the TBS Championship tournament.<\/p>\n<p>After Cargill defeated Thunder Rosa last week, Rosa went after Cargill when a masked woman appeared. This turned out to be Mercedes Martinez, who had been released by WWE several months ago. Ruby came out and the heels fled the ring. Here\u2019s a bit of an interview with Ruby and a quote tweet from Cargill. Cargill quote tweets the same post with other remarks, so feel free to look at her Twitter page to see what else she had to say. She\u2019s quite fired up and the \u201cnumbers.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2325127056\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AEW\u2019s Ruby Soho talks TBS title pursuit, mental health battle, farm life <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RT1p3M1bnO\">https:\/\/t.co\/RT1p3M1bnO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yV1fWzJRKI\">pic.twitter.com\/yV1fWzJRKI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; New York Post Sports (@nypostsports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nypostsports\/status\/1478754947831324673?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/jade_cargill\/status\/1477327582530002945?s=21<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/jade_cargill\/status\/1478106749035073536?s=21<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019ll pick Ruby to win this, but I could see it going to Cargill as well. They shouldn\u2019t put the title on her because she \u201clooks like a star.\u201d That\u2019s WWE mentality. Ruby is the better talent, and she should be the one to win this. With Martinez in the picture now, I fear shenanigans, but I\u2019m also traumatized by years of WWE crappy booking. This is the finals for a brand-new title. A clean win is in order.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>AEW World Tag Team Championship: Lucha Brothers (champs) vs. Jurassic Express<\/h4>\n<p>Things are finally coming to a head tonight between the Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero &amp; Rey Fenix) and Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy &amp; Luchasaurus) when the Luchas put the AEW World Tag Team Championship on the line.<\/p>\n<p>Jurassic Express are the #1 ranked tag team. The first bit of tension came several weeks ago on Rampage when they came out to help the Lucha Brothers after they were on the losing side of a 10-man tag match. Afterwards they awkwardly handed them their titles, but you can tell things weren\u2019t right. Last week, in the 10-man tag which found both teams as partners, there were issues with blind tags made by Penta and later Christian. The Christian blind tag cost them the match as Penta was setting up for Fear Factor, but instead Christian got FTR\u2019s Big Rig for the pin.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: With this being the first TBS show, I would like to think they want to run a big angle, and thus I can see Christian turning on Jurassic Express. It doesn\u2019t feel like time to take the titles off the Luchas, and this gives them the chance to run a Jungle Boy vs. Christian feud.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Malakai Black vs. Brian Pillman, Jr.<\/h4>\n<p>During an interview with Tony Schiavone last week, Brian Pillman, Jr. said it was his turn to enter the \u201cHouse of Black\u201d after seeing his Varsity Blondes partner Griff Garrison get beaten in short order by Malakai Black. He challenged Black to a match and afterwards, the lights went out. When they came back on, Black was on stage with a head piece with horns. The lights went out again and when they came back on, he was gone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yeah always good to show me what you\u2019re working on, definitely not a dumb idea.

Anyway, this is just something to do for Black until he moves on to bigger and better things. Pillman is fodder, and that\u2019s fine.<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1319722904\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>AEW World Championship: \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page vs. Bryan Danielson<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s been several weeks since Winter is Coming where \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page and Bryan Danielson wrestled to a 60-minute time limit draw in their match for the AEW World Championship. One week later, we learned their rematch would take place tonight with judges on hand in case they went to a time limit again. Danielson made it clear he would not wrestle until this match took place. He had been wrestling members of the Dark Order every week leading up to Winter is Coming following his win at Full Gear to earn the title match.<\/p>\n<p>A video package aired last week hyping the match. Jim Ross speculated on what the judges will factor in. should the match go to a draw. Hangman Page defeated Kenny Omega at Full Gear to win the AEW World Championship, completing a two-plus year journey. Page was in the first world title match at All Out in August of 2019, coming up short to Chris Jericho. At last year\u2019s Full Gear, Page lost to Omega who earned to right to wrestle for the title. Omega went on to defeat Jon Moxley at Winter is Coming.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: The more I think about it, the more I wish Miro won that match at Full Gear. Page would have beaten him and could have been on to another challenger. This Danielson program feels like it should have happened in six months or so. That said, I\u2019m looking forward to the match and dreading it at the same time. I worry about the judges getting involved and possible shenanigans. What can you do? It\u2019ll be a good match though; I\u2019m not worried about that. The decision can go either way. They could put it on Danielson and put Page back in chase mode.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
