For WWE in January, it was the best of times and the worst of times.
That and more kicks off my third annual Josh Nason’s Punch-Out pro wrestling year in review series where I do 12 episodes covering all the news and happenings for WWE, AEW, TNA, Japan and everything else that made headlines.
Helping me kick things off with January 2024 is Rich Fann of PWTorch and POST Wrestling fame.
Among our topics:
- Janel Grant sues Vince McMahon for sex trafficking, sexual assault and sexual abuse which resulted in McMahon resigning from his TKO leadership post and a lot of fallout
- WWE announcing a megadeal with Netflix to bring Raw to the streaming service
- The Rock announced as joining the TKO board and also beginning his insertion into the WrestleMania 40 main event scene
- TNA officially rebranded itself and kicked off a new era
- NJPW began to prepare for a massively transitional new year with two big stars preparing to leave
- The other AEW, WWE and news from other smaller promotions
Join me here twice a week as I continue the series with new guests. Did I forget anything from the month? Let me know.
