This Saturday Night is my favorite Premium WWE Event!

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton vs. LA Knight vs. AJ Styles:  This one could be won by any of the 4 participants.  Being Roman Reigns is in the match and the holding the belt for 1000's of days is more important.  Roman Reigns retains the title but with a lot of help from The Bloodline.

United States Championship: Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens: This may be the best match of the night.  If Logan Paul's schedule is busy.  I imagine he will lose the title to KO.   If he doesn't Austin Theory or someone will have a hand in on winning the match for Logan Paul.  

You get the "drive at 5" from National Design Mart each weekday at 5 for your ride home... 

And this week:  Your chance to win Billy Currington with Kip Moore and Larry Fleet 'Beat The Box-Office Tickets' on Saturday, May 11 at Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre!  They are on sale Friday, January 26th 10 a.m.

And I polish off the "drive at 5" with all the Country News You Can Use in Ben's Trends...

Remember every final weekday of the month... You have a chance to go Floor-To-Ceiling for a $250 National Design Mart Certificate if you can get the exact price of a NDM Product.  This month your chance to win Floor-To-Ceiling will be January 31st in the 5 o'clock hour!!!  

Thank you for letting us keep you company on the ride home with Your Country 94.9 WQMX!!!

Well it is probably not the best position to be in...  You are like Ben, who wouldn't want to sing the National Anthem before the Super Bowl?  

Congrats to one of the best to ever do it... REBA!!!!

FIRST ON CBS MORNINGS: @reba will sing the National Anthem ahead of #SuperBowlLVII, with @AndraDayMusic and @PostMalone rounding out this year’s lineup of performers.

 The reason I said it's not the best situation.  Reba is following this performance from last year.  

 If anyone can live up to the hype it's Reba!  Boy, Stapleton just killed it last year though.

There are many things in life that give me happiness... Family, Friends, all the WQMX Faithful!  

I am a baseball fan always have been.  We are lucky to have The Akron Rubberducks.  I can't wait for baseball!  And since it has been sooo cold the weather that hopefully comes with it.

The Rubberducks 'Only In Akron' Series is getting a new name and logo June 21st.   This time celebrating Barberton, baseball, Hot Chicken and Rice... Nothing wrong with any of those things..   Click Here For Details.  I love the logo.

There is some amazing work being done in Canal Fulton and Massillon, Ohio!  

Scott Wynn and I had the honor of going out to present a delicious lunch from Mr. Hero - Home of the One and Only Romanburger to Serving Area Military, Veterans, and Widows - SAM Center.   We met Brian and a group of VETS and volunteers that were so gracious.  Lucia gave Scott and I a tour of the facility and explained all the help they provide to our Veterans and Community.  Follow them on socials and if you know someone who needs their services and there at many... Click Here.

Scotty McCreery is set to start his “Cab In A Solo Tour” on January 26 in Troy, Ohio.  You know we are going to get it started at The Sold Out Dusty Armadillo Show, January 25th.  Think he will play all the hits and then some with new music he has been teasing, like this one??

Does anyone else have this problem? ?? What do y’all think of this one? pic.twitter.com/kNgyHBACIg
