The Scoop

Posted: Jan 11th 2026 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS
Logan Knight, Riley Grinn, Titan Yin and R|I|O were all members of the Opps Dojo on the “AEW Dynamite” episode on Wednesday at the BOK Center in Tulsa. In a pre-telecast dark match, Sam Stackhouse & Colton Theron Vaught faced The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum).

“AEW Dynamite” from the BOK Center in Tulsa on Wednesday did 516,000 television viewers with a 0.08 in 18-49. These number only reflect viewers on TBS and does not include viewership on HBO MAX.

While speaking on the “Marking Out” podcast, MVP commented on the idea of a “brass ring” in WWE: “There’s no reaching up and grabbing the brass ring. The brass ring is slipped onto your finger; they pick who they want to be that person because if you look through the years, lots of people have organically gotten themselves over and they weren’t picked by the empire to get over. Organically, he [Daniel Bryan] got himself over to the point that all of the fanbase said ‘we like this guy’ and they forced the office’s hand. Typically, the push comes from, you’re a talent that the office looks at says ‘this person has the characteristics that we like for our brand and we wanna make this person our brand ambassador.’ When they put the company title on you, what they’re saying is ‘we are investing in you to be our brand ambassador.'”

Recent additions to WWE Vault include “The Wrestling Classic” pay-per-view from 1985 featuring Roddy Piper vs. Hulk Hogan.

On Cody Rhodes’ “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast, Finn Balor mentioned how much the WWE locker room misses Doc Gallows after his release: “I can’t speak highly enough of Gallows. And I can’t express how much the locker room misses him.”

A new episode of “Six Feet Under” premiered on Wednesday with The Undertaker and A. J. Styles looking back at their cinematic Boneyard Match from “WrestleMania 36”. The podcast was a live episode recorded in Washington, D.C. last month.

Following Hiroshi Tanahashi’s retirement at “Wrestle Kingdom 20”, former IWGP Champion A. J. Styles wrote on social media saying some of his favorite memories were in Japan, as well as with Tanahashi: “Some of my favorite memories are in Japan. Some of my favorite matches were with this guy @tanahashi1_100. He is truly one of the best”.

TNA star Moose recently joined PWMania.com for an exclusive in-depth interview. During the discussion, Moose spoke candidly about TNA’s growing partnership with WWE NXT, working with top NXT talent, his personal goals for 2026, and more. Here are some highlights: On the NXT–TNA partnership: “Oh man, I honestly believe without the working relationship that we have with NXT, we probably wouldn’t be in the position we are to be having this AMC deal. Because WWE has a big platform, every time one of our talents goes there, we’re seen by millions of people. After our performance there, those viewers who watch their show, if they like a guy like me or [Mike] Santana or Leon [Slater], they will tune in to see what we’re doing. I believe now that we’re on a bigger network, they’re going to send us bigger stars because it will be seen by more eyes.” On working with NXT talent like Oba Femi and Ethan Page: “It’s been great. Oba Femi, I can say nothing but praise about him. In fact, after the first time I got a chance to work with him, I said he’s going to be the future of WWE. Page is a good friend of mine. I’ve known him for probably a decade now. We’ve had matches together, tag matches together, and I was just happy we got to show the world our chemistry in front of a bigger audience.” On his goals for 2026 and dream matches: “My goal is just to be a better human being. That’s one thing I know I can control. With everything else, I don’t like setting long-term goals in wrestling. A lot of those things are out of my control. As far as dream matches, I think it’s well known my biggest dream match is Brock Lesnar. He’s one of the guys I molded the Moose character on. But the only thing I do control is that whoever I share the ring with, I’m always going to give 110%.” On working with The System (Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, & J. D. C.): “It’s almost like going on vacation when you go to work. All those guys are my closest friends in real life. Thanks to Tommy [Dreamer, TNA Head of Talent Relations] for having me work with my closest friends. It’s joyful. It’s a vacation going to work because I get to hang out with those guys. I’d never be the one to complain about being in the group. We’re best friends. Honestly, the last three years have been the best three years of my wrestling career because I get a chance to work with those guys.” On finding out TNA would debut on AMC: “We heard rumors all over the place. Social media, different people spreading the word. But once we found out for sure, and it was confirmed by Carlos [Silva, TNA president], it was joyful. We were excited. Especially guys like myself, Eddie Edwards, Frankie [Kazarian], Eric Young, and just guys who have been in the company forever. We’ve been through the ups and through the very lows. I feel like this was the biggest news that we’ve heard, especially since I’ve been here. I’ve been in the company for 10 years. I’m excited for it. I can’t wait until January 15th to start rolling. This is a huge opportunity for me and the whole company to get seen by way more people. So, we have to put our best foot forward.” On his mindset and approach to wrestling: “I’m kind of different because I treat every show and every event the same. I got that mindset from one of the coaches I played with, Bill Belichick. It’s business as usual. It doesn’t matter who I’m in the ring with, whether it’s somebody who’s 300 pounds, 150 pounds, or someone that’s a no-name or a superstar. I treat every match the same. I’m always going to put 110% and be disciplined 110%.” On his goals for 2026 and dream matches: “My goal is just to be a better human being. That’s one thing I know I can control. With everything else, I don’t like setting long-term goals in wrestling. A lot of those things are out of my control. As far as dream matches, I think it’s well known my biggest dream match is Brock Lesnar. He’s one of the guys I molded the Moose character on. But the only thing I do control is that whoever I share the ring with, I’m always going to give 110%.” Moose also discussed TNA’s growing partnership with WWE NXT, working with top NXT talent, his personal goals for 2026, and more.

Ted DiBiase, Bill Watts, and Rockin’ Robin will be honored on July 24th at T-Mart Promotions’ “The Gathering VII” in Charlotte, NC. Erik Watts will be there to accept the award on behalf of his father.

Mick Foley spoke about fans withdrawing from his fandom following his comments about the Trump administration. “People know that I’m not on board with a lot of things the current administration is doing,” he said. “I have fans who feel different, and still like and support me, and I have [fans] who dropped out of the fandom, which is obviously their right.” Despite his recent comments, Foley assured people that politics will not play a part in his “40 Years of Foley” live show. “People know I’m outspoken,” he said. “But the closest I get to making a political statement in the show is saying that kindness is cool.”

Jake Roberts had hip revision surgery on January 6th. Oklafan wishes him a speedy recovery.
