Sun. #1 is HERE. Please follow us on Tumblr or Twitter, subscribe to us on YouTube or like us on Facebook. Don't miss Arya's WWE TLC 2017 Live Recap tonight at 7 PM ET! With the cheap plugs out of the way here's Sunday's latest wrestling news.

In this podcast interview former WWE writer Kevin Eck talks about John Cena almost turning heel: "Vince had agreed to do it, but then he changed his mind and said that we can't do it.This was back around the time when McMahon was really looking at Sheamus to get his push. The question was if we turn John Cena heel then who is he going to work with, who will be the top babyface? That was the feeling back then, then we came up with some scenarios, and believe it or not, Cena was on board with it, but right around that time there was a big clothing line for John Cena at K-Mart, and Vince McMahon was like, 'Oh Jesus Christ, he has a deal with KMart, and now we're going to turn him heel?' So, KMart is to blame for Cena not turning heel. During a meeting once Vince had a huge smile on his face, and he tells everyone that I know you've wanted John Cena as a heel for a long time, but we just can't turn him heel and that was the end of that."

Conor McGregor MAY have some explaining to do after people hear this clip of him backstage after Artem Lobov's fight at UFC Fight Night 118.

WWE officials backstage are concerned that Kurt Angle will take too many risks and try to do too much at TLC tonight. (WO)

In this E&C interview Kevin Owens says he'll never forget headbutting Vince McMahon: "It felt like a huge deal, and, at the time, like, even doing it. I knew something was going to happen with Vince for a couple of days beforehand. I wasn't sure what it was exactly, so we ironed out everything that day, but when it happened, when I actually went through with it, it was just so surreal. Like, that's the thing about me and I've said this in interviews and stuff like that and I've told a lot of people that I never lost, like, I never stopped being a fan of WWE and I've been a huge fan since I was 11 years old. I'm just still such a fan, so to get to do that with Vince McMahon, forget about it. It was incredible! It's something in my [pro wrestling] career that I'll never forget."

A TLC match from 2015 is below.

Here are this weekend's WrestleCircus results. (PWI)

Here Alexa Bliss doesn't mind her TLC match not having a stip: "I'm OK with it being a normal one-on-one. Of course stipulations are always cooler and more fun, but I feel like if we were to do a stipulation match it would have to be something that was driven towards the storyline that we're doing right now. I'm talking about her being old, so it should be like a walker match."

Here's a new UpUpDownDown video.

And here's a new Canvas 2 Canvas.

Triple H beat Rusev in his return to the ring in Santiago, Chile and then gave Kofi Kingston a Pedigree while celebrating with The New Day. (PWI)
