Welcome back to another edition of the WWE News Roundup where we aim to cover all the exciting developments in the world of the sports entertainment juggernaut. In today’s article, we will look at stories revolving around Rhea Ripley and Naomi, among others.
Also, in one of the biggest stories of the day, a female star has confirmed her split from her real-life partner. Let’s check it out along with a preview of Monday Night RAW‘s Netflix debut.
#1. WWE RAW preview
WWE is set to embark upon a new era with the company’s flagship show Monday Night RAW set to debut on Netflix. Tonight’s show is loaded with enthralling matches, in addition to the returns of The Rock and John Cena.
The following matches are announced for the January 6 edition of RAW:
- Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa in a Tribal Combat Match
- Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship
- CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins
- Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre

#2. Naomi wants charges pressed against top WWE Superstar
Naomi once again failed to win the WWE Women’s Championship as she suffered a loss to Nia Jax on SmackDown. However, the latter’s celebration was short-lived as Tiffany Stratton cashed in the Money in the Bank briefcase to become the new champion.
Jax was seen being carried to the back by referee Brian Nguyen after the show in off-air footage. Naomi reacted to the video by asking the official to press charges against the Irresistible Force.
#3. AEW’s Harley Cameron confirms split from former WWE Superstar
Former WWE star Xyon Quinn was in a relationship with AEW star Harley Cameron for a long time. Quinn proposed to Harley in 2018 before the two moved to the United States. However, in a recent interview, the female star confirmed that they are no longer together:
“My ex-husband… My ex-partner,” she revealed. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Wish him well, nothing bad to say, but yes, that is a closed chapter of my life.” [H/T- Wrestlinginc]
Xyon Quinn was released from the Stamford-based promotion earlier this year. He made his TNA debut in August.
#4. Liv Morgan makes a claim about her rivalry with Rhea Ripley
Liv Morgan has been embroiled in a heated feud with Rhea Ripley over the last few months. The duo will get a chance to settle their differences inside the squared circle on RAW’s Netflix debut episode. Morgan shared her thoughts on the rivalry ahead of the same:
“I think the most notable thing is how personal it has become. I injured Rhea, and she injured me. This is all part of my master plan: Liv Morgan’s Revenge Tour. That included defeating Dominik, The Judgment Day, and, of course, my Women’s World Championship. I am the greatest Women’s World Champion of all time. Yesterday was my 200th day as champion, and today, it’s 201! Also, I think the elements of my relationship with Dominik and Rhea’s previous relationship with him (if they really had one) make everything different, intriguing, and refreshing for the WWE audience,” she said.
Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan have collided in two singles matches since Mami’s return. The upcoming match between them could be the end of the rivalry.
