Good news for AEW Collision! ## Its latest episode drew in 404,000 viewers, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics. This marks a solid rebound from the 300,000 viewers who tuned in on January 27th. The show also saw growth in the key demographic, scoring a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 age group, up from the previous week's 0.06. ## However, it's worth noting that Collision aired against stiff competition. An NBA matchup between the Lakers and Knicks on ABC attracted a significant audience, pulling in an average of 2.74 million viewers and a 0.71 rating in the 18-49 demo. Additionally, most of Collision's timeslot overlapped with a college basketball game between Tennessee and Kentucky on ESPN, which garnered 2.53 million viewers and a 0.75 rating in the same demographic. ## Despite the competition, Collision's viewership increase is a positive sign. The show managed to attract more viewers and grow its key demographic rating, suggesting that some viewers are tuning back in. However, it remains to be seen whether this upward trend will continue, especially considering the strong competition on Saturday nights. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

There's a spicy twist in the aftermath of Cody Rhodes' recent Royal Rumble victory. ## While most assumed he'd face Roman Reigns for the title at WrestleMania, the WWE Universe erupted when The Rock stepped in, stealing Rhodes' thunder and securing the main event spot. ## This decision has caused a major uproar, with fans fuming over Rhodes getting sidelined despite winning the Rumble. The intrigue thickens as reports suggest only a select few knew about The Rock's involvement, sparking speculation that even Triple H wasn't in the loop. ## However, Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer clears the air, revealing Triple H was fully aware of The Rock's agreement (part of his TKO Board deal) and his upcoming match against Reigns. ## Meltzer states: "My friend Jay, whose tweets are private, mentioned that the idea of Triple H not knowing about The Rock's deal and match when he booked the Rumble is completely false. He knew exactly what he was doing." ## My buddy Jay told me that since his tweets are private I probably should note that the idea that Paul Levesque didn't know about Rock's signing with the company and him wrestling Reigns when he booked the Rumble is clearly not the case. He knew exactly what he was doing.— Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) February 6, 2024 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE is drawing a clear line between itself and Brock Lesnar, and the latest evidence is his absence from a special edition of the upcoming WWE 2K24 video game.## Lesnar was originally planned for appearances at major events like the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 40. However, these plans were scrapped following a sex trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, where a former WWE/UFC Heavyweight Champion was implicated. The Wall Street Journal later identified this champion as Lesnar.## This distancing extends beyond live events. Lesnar has also been removed from the WWE 2K Supercard mobile game, and his merchandise on WWE Shop is heavily discounted. It appears he will be downplayed or even entirely removed from future WWE-licensed content, including television appearances.## Today's reveal of WWE 2K24 gameplay footage further solidifies this move. As you can see, Lesnar is conspicuously absent from the cover of the special "Forty Years of WrestleMania" edition. The game is now available for pre-order on all major platforms: Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. ## Brock Lesnar was removed from the WrestleMania cover of WWE 2K24.

Rumors are swirling that WWE will officially announce a legendary showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40's Kickoff event. This follows their electrifying encounter on SmackDown last week. ## This blockbuster match was reportedly concocted in secrecy last month. Dwayne Johnson, upon joining the TKO Board of Directors, secured the "The Rock" trademark rights and a cool $30 million stock package. However, there's more to the story. ## Fueling this dream match for years, both Rock and WWE finally saw an opportunity. And with CM Punk and Brock Lesnar plans thrown off course, Rock stepped up, advocating for this clash to salvage the WrestleMania card. ## Although Cody Rhodes clinched the title shot at Reigns by winning the Royal Rumble, rumors suggest he might now face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Title, making way for the Rock-Reigns spectacle. ## PwInsider assures fans that The Rock is contractually bound to step into the ring at WrestleMania 40. Negative fan feedback hasn't deterred him, and barring unforeseen circumstances like an injury, this battle is on! ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WWE's been chasing a major free agent for months, and it seems they've finally snagged her. But there's a catch: the star won't hit the ring right away. ## For months, rumors swirled about Giulia, a STARDOM wrestler, receiving a WWE offer. It was clear she had two paths: join WWE or stick with NJPW. While many assumed WWE was a done deal, a new element emerged: a loyalty test. ## STARDOM founder Rossy Ogawa recently jumped ship and started his own promotion. Giulia, grateful for Ogawa's role in her success, pledged her support. Instead of rushing to WWE's greener pastures, she'll help launch Ogawa's new venture. ## Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer sheds light on the situation, praising Giulia's loyalty. He explains:## "Rossy was starting his own promotion, and Giulia, loyal to a fault, jumped on board. She's delaying her WWE debut to kickstart the new promotion. WWE came knocking, but Giulia, true to her word, decided to help Ogawa get things rolling first. So, while a big payday awaits, she's postponing her WWE dream to fulfill a promise."## Meltzer admires Giulia's commitment: "It's rare to see someone prioritize loyalty over a lucrative offer. Giulia could have cashed in, but she chose to honor her word. That's commendable."## So, WWE fans will have to wait a bit longer for their new star. But Giulia's story adds a unique twist to the usual free agent frenzy, highlighting the power of loyalty in the wrestling world.## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

"But, let's face it, 10,000 people attended Raw, and what's even more striking is the ticket sales increase. Moving that many tickets in just a few days is almost unheard of. So, love it or hate it, people are clearly invested and paying to see it. Expect a packed T-Mobile Arena on Thursday." ## While some fans may be upset, the buzz surrounding the Rock's return is undeniable.

Mumbai, February 6 - It was recently reported that Zee Studios greenlit Gadar 3, following the historic blockbuster success of its predecessor. Sunny Deol will be returning to play the lead role of Tara Singh along with director Anil Sharma. ## Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, which grossed close to 700 crores worldwide, was set 20 years after the events of the first film which was released in 2001. However, the third instalment won't have a huge time gap, according to a report in Bollywood Hungama. ## It is said that Gadar 3 will be set immediately after the events of the second film or it'll be set a few years after the incidents in the sequel, but there won't be a huge jump in the timeline. The makers reportedly believe that it wouldn't look logical to keep another 20 year of gap considering Sunny's age. ## The report further revealed that the makers had 4 ideas to take Gadar's story forward and they finally locked one for which the script work is on. Apart from Sunny Deol, Sakina (Ameesha Patel) and Jeete (Utkarsh Sharma), will also be a part of the third part. They, too, more or less, will play the same age as they did in Gadar 2.## Gadar 3 is expected to go on floors in the second half of 2025 and it will release in 2026. Before moving to the threequel, Sunny will wrap Rajkumar Santoshi's Lahore 1947 and is also expected to do the sequel to the war movie Border. ## Stay tuned...
