AJ Styles says that now is the right time to retire so he doesn’t make a fool out of himself and embarrass himself.
“Now is the right time to retire so I don’t make a fool out of myself. So I don’t embarrass myself. I’m on the verge of doing just that. It’s not easy mind you, but it’s time.”

Did the Bronson Reed injury kill the crowd on Raw?

Rusev said he left AEW because he wanted to wrestle more.
"You've got to be kidding me. The whole problem he had in AEW was he didn't wanna lose so they stopped booking him. The thing with Tony is, you can negotiate with him but there's a certain point you can't cross. These guys aren't gonna say that to Levesque. They try to take advantage of Tony. They don't respect him like they respect Levesque."

And being able to help is a blessing. I’m so excited.” (via Talk N’ Shop)

PWlnsider on the Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley situation:
‘Jade Cargill has been criticized by a number of talent for how she rubs others the wrong way and that when the back and forth with Rhea began, it wasn't hard for others to want to jump in and voice their opinions. They cited this wasn't the first time Cargill has upset others with how she conducted herself and intimated that when there were reports about Cargill being hurt last year, the real reason she disappeared and spent time in the PC was to let personal issues going on at the time subside.’
‘Another source tried to downplay the situation, but later admitted that they expect management would step in and speak to Cargill about her relationship with the locker room. The source noted that everyone in the locker room has been happy to do whatever they need to do to get Cargill over but that the respect they show her does not often feel requited. They described it as Cargill coming off "insecure" when she shouldn't have any reason to feel that way.’
