Well, the night after Armageddon was certainly a huge one, as the show opened up with Raw GM Chris Jericho, with new WWE Champion John Cena in the room. Jericho had just got off the phone with week-long Smackdown GM Ian Moore, and they felt that it was in the best interest of the company to give Goldberg an immediate re-match that night, since Cena had to cheat to hold onto the belt. Cena would end up retaining, after cheating AGAIN.

In other news, Los Conquistadors picked up another victory, the whole while the crowd was chanting "LA RESSSSSSSSSSSSS, LA RESSSSSSSSSS" to which the Conquistadors acted confused.

And so January 1st, 2026 marked the first Smackdown of the new year, but before we get to that, here are the end of month notes:

-Everyone in OVW and Training Camp are continuing to improve nicely.

-Spanky has returned from injury. Thank fuck.

-Nova has retired from WWA.

-KISS Demon has announced that he will retire from XWF in one month.

-Justice Pain has announced that he will retire in one month. See ya later, Abyss!

-Pete Canada has retired. Um, who?

-Training camp guy Leon Ross needs a contract renewal.

-Ron Killings (8 months) and Dangerous Man (3 months) are still shelved with injuries.

-Kim Roderick is still in rehab.

-Still no suspensions.

--------------

Anyways, onto Smackdown.

The returning Spanky kicked off the show by defeating Tempest, proving he isn't very rusty after being out with a Broken Leg.

But the big news, week-long Smackdown GM Ian Moore announced that, after a conference with Raw GM Chris Jericho, that John Cena was officially STRIPPED of the WWE Championship due to his inability to win it and hold it fairly. You have to figure that this never would have happened were Ian Moore not playing the role of GM (since Angle would never want to relinquish one of his own stars of the belt).

Even bigger news, the title will remain vacant until January 25, 2026 where the new champion will be crowned at the Royal Rumble. The new title holder? THE WINNER OF THE ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH!!!
