While all the drama behind Nia Jax concussing Becky Lynch saw fans turn up in droves for Smackdown Live, garnering one of the best scores in months, numbers did not hold steady this week coming out of Survivor Series.

Tuesday night’s show was watched by an estimated 2,150,000 viewers, which is down a full 7% from last week, although roughly the same as the viewership for the two weeks preceding. The main event saw Rey Mysterio take on Randy Orton for the first time on television in more than 12 years (or for the first time since a few weeks ago, if you factor in PPV).

WWE Superstar John Cena, who will return to the company in the near future, has tweeted his latest piece of advice for people which is about negativity.

Cena stated that dealing with negativity is never fun, but you must do your best to address those difficult moments and if they continue, then perhaps you shouldn’t hold them as close.

Dealing with negativity is part of life and is never fun. It’s grip is always the strongest when it comes from those you hold close. Do your best to address those difficult moments. If they continue, maybe don’t hold those people so close.

WWE’s Titus O’Neil is highly respected by fans for his charity work outside of pro wrestling. The former Florida Gator has partnered with fundraising organizations like the United Way, in efforts to help at-risk kids.

Now O’Neil is being recognized for his work. EBONY has honored him as an MVP on its 2018 Power List. The list honors those athletes that stand out from the rest due to their willingness to be role models both in and out of their sport.

O’Neil is joined on the list by Steph Curry, Venus Williams and James Harden. Titus will be featured in the next issue of EBONY magazine.

Titus received the honor on November 30 in Beverly Hills at EBONY‘s Power 100 Gala.

Raw Women’s champion Ronda Rousey is known for her toughness and athleticism, both of which were on display during WWE’s Tribute to the Troops on December 20. Rousey tagged with Natalya in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match against Nia Jax and Tamina and The Riott Squad.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet received a great ovation from the soldiers at Fort Hood and their praise was warranted. Rousey tapped out not one, but two women at the same time.

Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan of The Riott Squad fell victim to Ronda’s submission finisher and both women tapped at the same time. Rousey’s next title defense will come on the Christmas Eve edition of Monday Night Raw when she faces her tag team parter and best friend, Natalya.

According to ShowBuzz Daily, WWE SmackDown Live was viewed by 2.091 million viewers, up from last week’s rating of 1.904 million. The show was viewed by more viewers than this week’s RAW, which drew 1.968 million to its New Year’s Eve episode. Both RAW & SmackDown Live saw ratings increases from the prior week.

WWE has confirmed that the popular reality series, Miz And Mrs will be returning for a second season later on this year in April.

The show which follows along the life of Miz and Maryse was very popular when it first aired and therefore it was no surprise to see the show be renewed for another series. You can see the announcement for the second season below:
