WWE News: SmackDown Tag Title Match Now Official For Royal Rumble
Who will challenge The Bar at Royal Rumble?
Just as we got last night on Monday Night RAW, tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live, the first one that is not taped since before Christmas, gave us some more news regarding the Royal Rumble.
Tonight, The Usos got a shot at earning a SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match at the event in less than three weeks on January 27th, taking on the titleholders, The Bar (keep up with all of SmackDown Live with Mitchell’s Live Report). As we’ve seen from these four in the past, Sheamus, Cesaro and The Usos once again gave us another classic encounter with both teams seemingly having multiple chances to put the match away.
Unfortunately for The Usos, it was a distraction that’s been plaguing Jimmy Uso in the form of Mandy Rose that would lead to a victory for the champions, meaning Jimmy and Jey won’t be getting their chance. However after the match, The Miz would come down to issue a challenge, seeking a shot at The Bar alongside his partner Shane McMahon at Royal Rumble.
Sheamus would answer with a Brogue Kick before Cesaro accepted, but it still would take some convincing by ‘The A-Lister’ to get Shane to agree. Eventually, he would and the match is now official.

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
