From Atlanta (same site as Smackdown):

1. Dustin Rhodes def. Killswitch (formerly Luchasaurus) in 3:30 with a Texas Destroyer. Christian Cage, predictably, was DQd off-air on Dynamite for interference, and is banned from the UWA for repeated violations. Punishment squash.

2. Future Stars, 1st round rematch: Luca Crusifino def. Trey Bearhill in 7:30 with an avalanche fisherman buster. Better than last week. Crusifino faces Tavion Heights later.

3. Roxanne Perez won a battle royal/fatal four-way to become the #1 contender to Lyra Valkyria's NXT women's title, with the match to take place at Vengeance Day on 2/4 (NXT, 1/16).

Backstage, we learn that because she illegally remained at ringside during the fatal 4-way, Izzy Dame is banned from ringside when Kiana James faces Kelani Jordan next.

4. Jordan def. James in 2:30 with the split-legged moonsault. Punishment squash #2.

5. Future Stars, semi-finals/non-title: Oba Femi def. Riley Osborne with the pop-up powerbomb in 13:30. About the same, if not better, than their match on 12/26.

6. Karmen Petrovic def. Arianna Grace in 3:30 with a crucifix bomb. Grace eliminated Petrovic in the battle royal after a sore loser attack by Davenport following the UWA champion's elimination.

7. UWA women's title: Davenport def. Billie Starkz in 13:06 with the falcon arrow.

It was revealed after the match that Jordan & Petrovic will meet next week in a #1 contender match, the winner to face Davenport the following week.

Lexis King cut a promo complaining about being left out of the Future Stars tournament, neglecting, of course, his AEW run as Brian Pillman, Jr., which actually left him ineligible for Future Stars. Ignoring the truth, he blamed the Founders for his exclusion. He's going to wish he hadn't said that.........

8. Randy Orton def. King in 6:30 with the RKO.

9. UWA title: Samoa Joe def. Swerve Strickland in 18:04 with the Muscle Buster.

Post-match, Joe announced that at Valentine Blast, he'll defend the UWA title vs. Moose, Eddie Kingston, and, if he has the guts to actually show up, Roman Reigns. Failing that, WWE can sub either Seth Rollins, Ilja Dragunov, Gunther, or Logan Paul.

"A true champion shows up, and shows out.", Joe says. "Roman Reigns got a contract like Brock Lesnar did, and gets to be a prima donna."

10. Future Stars, semi-finals: Tavion Heights def. Luca Crusifino in 9:30 with the spinning belly-to-belly suplex. Heights vs. Femi in the finals next week, plus:

UWA Women's tag titles: Katana Chance & Kayden Carter or Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn, whomever wins on 1/19, vs. Decay. (Rosemary & Havok).

Kelani Jordan vs. Karmen Petrovic.
NXT tag titles: Tony D'Angelo & Stacks Lorenzo vs. Malik Blade & Edris Enofe.
