WEDNESDAY NEWS UPDATE

WWE

  • Triple H, Finn Balor, and Billie Kay were on today’s episode of The Bump.
  • Finn Balor defended Goldberg and other WWE legends returning this past Monday in an interview with Metro UK. “Doesn’t bother me at all,” he said. “I believe that everyone has a place in this business, and if you’re on the show, you’re on the show for a reason. If you’re on the show once a year, if you’re on the show every night, that’s down to everybody’s individual circumstance. Those guys have carved out their legacy and proven over the years that they belong on the show. Whether it’s for one night or it’s every night, that doesn’t affect me and it shouldn’t affect anyone else.”
  • Balor also spoke to Sports Illustrated on his recovery from his jaw injury that took place at NXT TakeOver 31 back in October.

WWE Championship match official for Raw Legends Night

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The WWE Championship will be on the line on the first Raw of the new year.

Keith Lee defeated Sheamus on Raw tonight to become the number one contender to Drew McIntyre’s WWE Championship. McIntyre will defend his title against Lee on Raw next Monday (January 4).

Lee pinned Sheamus in the number one contender’s match after hitting a Spirit Bomb. McIntyre was on commentary for the match and Lee went face-to-face with him after it was over.

After dissension between them throughout the night, last week’s Raw ended with Sheamus laying out Lee with a Brogue Kick. McIntyre, Sheamus & Lee had defeated AJ Styles, The Miz & John Morrison in a holiday street fight in last week’s main event.

McIntyre opened tonight’s Raw with an in-ring promo. After mentioning the number one contender’s match, he was interrupted by Sheamus. Sheamus said he kept his word to McIntyre since he didn’t attack Lee during last week’s match and only did so after the match was over. Lee also came down to the ring. Lee said there’s zero trust between him and McIntyre now after what Sheamus did last week. Lee said Sheamus may do the same thing to McIntyre and stab him in the back someday.

McIntyre told a referee to come down to the ring so Lee vs. Sheamus could start. McIntyre said no matter who his challenger is, he’ll still be champion after next week’s title match. As Lee turned his attention to McIntyre, Sheamus gave Lee two Brogue Kicks before their match started.

Next week’s Raw will also feature appearances by Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and more as part of Legends Night.
