A special welcome to those of you listening on TheWrestlingRevolution.com. If you want to bring our updates to your website...email us: desk@justprowrestlingnews.com. (STINGER: WWE) Ringside News was first to report…and other outlets have confirmed…that Shane McMahon is gone from WWE. This reportedly stems from backstage issues surrounding the planning for the men’s Royal Rumble Saturday night. Shane made a surprise return to WWE TV at the Rumble. He was the #28 entrant. He managed to eliminate Kevin Owens…and was one of the last men eliminated by Rumble winner Brock Lesnar. A title match is set for today’s NXT UK. Meiko Satomura defends her title against Blair Davenport in a Japanese Street Fight. Also announced for the show: the final in the tag team championship #1 contender tournament. It’s gonna be Ashton Smith & Oliver Carter vs. Dave Mastiff & Jack Starz. The wrestlers released by WWE on November 4 are now free of their non-compete clauses and can show up anywhere they choose. That group includes Killer Kross, Keith Lee..and the former Ember Moon. She’s now using the ring name, Athena…and she’ll challenge Thunder Rosa for Warrior Wrestling’s women’s championship on February 12th. (STINGER: AEW) An epic main event on last night’s Dynamite. MJF beat CM Punk after nearly 40 minutes of action. Wardlow showed up toward the end of the match. He didn’t attack Punk. BUT Wardlow distracted the referee and slipped the Dynamite Diamond Ring to MJF…and MJF used the ring to knock out Punk and get the pin. It’s CM Punk’s first loss in AEW. The show opened with Jon Moxley beating Wheeler Yuta. After the match, Bryan Danielson showed up and pitched the idea of him and Moxley “joining forces”. (Danielson Pitch To Mox) Danielson also suggested he and Mox could take some younger AEW prospects under their wings. Danielson didn’t insist on an answer last night. So, we’ll wait and see. MMA and combat sports star Paige Van Zant returned to AEW last night…and briefly mixed it up with Brandi Rhodes. Nyla Rose pinned Ruby Soho with the Beast Bomb. Malakai Black & Brody King beat Pac & Penta El Zero Miedo. Penta was pinned after Black sprayed mist in his face. Brian Kendrick’s time in AEW ended before it could begin. He was set to face Moxley last night, but Kendrick was pulled from the card within hours of the show…after a 2013 interview with Kendrick resurfaced, in which he discussed the Holocaust and the Sandy Hook school shooting. Tony Khan called the comments “abhorrent & offensive”. Kendrick apologized on Twitter, writing “I spread the most vile comments without thinking of the damage it would cause. I will live with this regret for the rest of my life.” (STINGER: Impact) The Digital Media Championship is on the line on tonight’s Impact Wrestling. Jordynne Grace defends against Matt Cardona. Ring Of Honor World Champion Jonathan Gresham is on tonight’s Impact for a match against Steve Maclin. Another old name from ROH - Vincent - will go one-on-one against Josh Alexander. Bullet Club is back. Jay White, the Guerrillas of Destiny, and Chris Bey face Jake Something, SPEEDBALL Mike Bailey, Ace Austin & Madman Fulton. Bhupinder Gujjar makes his Impact debut against John Skyler. Plus, Jonah vs. Crazzy Steve. Before The Impact has Raj Singh vs. Black Taurus. Tonight’s MLW Azteca has Alex Kane, Rey Horus & Villano III Jr. vs. Hijo del Vikingo, Octagon Jr. & Laredo Kid. MLW announced Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat will be the matchmaker for its SuperFight card in Charlotte, North Carolina on February 26. (STINGER: New Japan) Bullet Club’s Chase Owens announced Wednesday he has re-signed with New Japan. That’s JUST Pro Wrestling News for Thursday, February 3rd.
