It looks like Sting will be teaming with Darby Allin at AEW Revolution to face the team of Ricky Starks and Brian Cage. This is exciting news but I can't say I'm not a little nervous about the idea of Steve Borden taking bumps at this point.

Renee Young will (sort of) be back with WWE for one night as WWE Backstage returns on January 30th to preview the Royal Rumble, and her deal to host the show is through FOX. Paige and Booker T will also be on the program. It will actually be her second appearance on WWE show since leaving the company as she did a "season premiere" pre-show for SmackDown last year.

Here's some big news for 205 Live tonight! (WWE)

205 Live to host pair of Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Matches

History will be made on Friday's edition of 205 Live, as Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade will combine forces against Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell in what will be the first-ever women's match on the purple brand, while Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher team up against Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari two days after nearly tearing each other to shreds on NXT in the Fight Pit.

LeRae and Hartwell will likely enter their Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Match as the favorites, having aligned after LeRae took the impressionable Hartwell under her wing to form The Way alongside Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory.

They would be wise not to take their opponents lightly, however, as Gigi Dolin and Cora Jade step onto the purple brand with nothing to lose and a golden opportunity to turn some heads in the eight-team tournament.

Speaking of new teams, Ciampa and Thatcher will form a seemingly tenuous alliance for their Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Match after a pair of savage bouts against one another, as Ciampa defeated Thatcher at NXT TakeOver: WarGames before “The Professor of Pain” got payback with a win in the Fight Pit.

Ciampa and Thatcher have entered the tournament in place of Ashante Adonis and Desmond Troy, who were injured by Karrion Kross, and if they can't get on the same page quickly, Nese and Daivari seem certain to capitalize, as they've never been a tandem to hesitate when it comes to using nefarious methods to claim wins.

This week's AEW vs. WWE ratings news comes from Pro Wrestling Torch instead of Show Buzz Daily. AEW did a 0.36 18-49 demo and 812,000 viewers, up from 0.30 and 762,000 last week. NXT did a 0.15 18-49 demo and 659,000 viewers so they lost (again) to AEW but still did better than the 0.14 and 551K last week.
