New AEW talent deals, AEW management determined, first Ultimate X on YouTube, reality show marathons, Ultimo signing, Flair resolution, ROH injury, new Honorclub matches, NJPW name signing at ROH tour, new MLW signing, ROH-NWA Crockett Cup announced, Raw audience, and WOW first look

The Young Bucks and Hangman Page signed with AEW, as expected (they weren't legally able to do so until January 1). These names turned down substantial money to forge their own destiny; that's bold.

Goldust commented on AEW's founding. He'd be an ideal producer for the company once he's contractually available.

Impact released the first Ultimate X match to YouTube.

"Total Bellas" is having a marathon of seasons two and three on January 13, ahead of the fourth season's debut.

Ultimo Dragon is signing at Pro Wrestling Tees on January 5.

Sunny is launching a podcast soon. I really hope that's a good move for her. Having consistent work could definitely be a help in her situation.

"Miz and Mrs" will run a marathon on USA Network January 12.

Ric Flair made a new year's resolution. He's a treasure.

Brody King is believed to have a broken jaw, but it looks like he's still expected for ROH's January 12 and January 13 shows.

ROH's January 13 Honorclub show has added:
- Bandido vs. PJ Black
- Flip Gordon vs. Tracy Williams
- Best Friends vs. Juice Robinson and David Finlay in Finlay's ROH debut.

NJPW's Katsuyori Shibata will do meet-and-greets at ROH's January 24, January 25, and January 26 Texas events.

Davey Boy Smith, Jr. has signed a multi-year deal with MLW, putting the entire Hart Foundation under contract there. MLW is really emerging as a place cultivating talent.

ROH and NWA are working together for The Crockett Cup, coming to North Carolina April 27. The event is a one night tag team tournament, and the first qualification match is at Saturday's NWA event. It makes sense for the two sides to work together, since the NWA isn't in a position to do a lot of shows on their own.

Raw drew 1.99 million viewers for a taped show on New Year's Eve.

WOW got a "first look" trailer.

Britt Baker has signed with AEW. She worked ROH's December 15 TV taping on top of some other WOH matches in recent months, so that's another talent ROH won't be able to use going forward.

The Young Bucks will also be executive vice presidents for AEW. Dana Massie, who handles Young Bucks merchandise, will be doing a similar role for AEW. Brandi Rhodes will overseen the women's division. All expected moves, more or less, but ones that are finally moving forward.

More wrestling tomorrow.
