Not a lot to analyse, here, but this is an apt spot to celebrate some earnestly great news at the end of what has been a grim year for so many, inside the wrestling business and out.

Brandi Rhodes' pregnancy was revealed in a heartwarming segment that saw her and Cody open a tiny Christmas present left on their front porch. Inside was a pair of baby shoes and a tree decoration confirming Brandi is expecting, breaking the big news.

Standing guard was Pharaoh, clad in a "baby security" bandana.

Congratulations to the happy parents to be. Things like this are bigger than pro wrestling and it was great to watch Cody and Brandi enjoying the announcement together, just weeks after Jon Moxley and Renee Paquette's own pregnancy confirmation.
