Main Event Reax - 1/6/18, next "Straight to the Source" guests, WWE Network flashback theme, classic content on Network this week, Interview with Joe, Natalya column, WWE Week on Nickelodeon show, Credible/DDP situation covered, Baszler-WWEPC angle, and Questions on Impact changing under the new regime, NJPW raiding talent, NJPW's big show being on a Thursday, the Slammies, and Darth Sheamus

-- Main Event:
- Mickie vs. Dana:
I like this start.


Good to see both of these women in action here. 

Nice to see a tarantula!

I like Titus giving her some strategy.

That was pretty solid!

- Akira vs. Nese:
This is their fifth one-on-one broadcast match since April 2017. Everyone in the division just kind of goes in circles.

Nice start.

Nese is getting fired up. I like it.

Good physicality here.

This is pretty solid.

I like the back-and-forth going on.

Good ending! 

Enzo Amore will be on "Straight to the Source" after Raw. That should be a lot of fun.

WWE Network's "Flashback Friday" this coming week will focus on the 25th anniversary of Raw, with episodes from 1993.

Mid-Atlantic Wrestling content will debut on WWE Network this week.

Samoa Joe talked before a live event in Missouri. Good to see Joe getting to be a face of WWE like that.

Natalya discussed the women's Royal Rumble. It's going to be a monumental event for WWE, and for women's wrestling as a whole.

Nickelodeon's "Paradise Run" will feature Naomi, the Usos, Bayley, Apollo Crews, and Kalisto for "WWE Week" on episodes from Monday through Friday. Another door opened by the PG direction.

The New York Post covered Justin Credible getting help from Diamond Dallas Page. It's all too easy for one drink to become one drink too many. Wrestling, and entertainment as a whole, already have too many tragic stories of addiction.

Shayna Baszler "interrupted" a submission training session at the WWE Performance Center. AHAHAHHAHAHAHA BASED.

For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. It depends on what you consider big changes. There's a possibility of them going back to the four-sided ring after releasing the head of their ring crew, but beyond that, I think the new regime's focus is more in making things run smoothly and efficiently behind-the-scenes. On that note, I expect them to further phase out certain expensive talents in favor of less established names. It's probably a good thing they're not making big changes on-screen given the number of big shakeups they've had in recent years with authority figures phasing in and out, name changes, etc.

2. No way could it be on the scale of WWE, right?

3. I guess it's a little like Starrcade or Survivor Series being set for Thanksgiving weekend. It's always timed for January 4.

4. It could be the idea wasn't worth the hassle. It's tough enough to put a script together for a regular episode!

5. No, but WWE needs to do that now. OI'M YER FATHER FELLA!!

More wrestling tomorrow.
