In this interview Drew McIntyre says he wanted the blowoff to his Sheamus feud to be at WrestleMania 37: "If you watch the pre-match video, it was WrestleMania-worthy. Just, the story that we have, the real story. And we can come back around, and there's next year's WrestleMania. You know, we get the fans back, it'll be new again. But it certainly was a disappointment."

Jonathan Gresham talks about being considered one of the best technical wrestlers today: "For a while, I really felt weird about it because I don't feel like I'm on that level. I believe, of course, everyone wants to be the best at their craft, but the more and more I thought about it, to be honest, I'm more so happier about that people are looking at that someone that looks like me as someone that can be best in the world. 'Cause for years black people, people that look like me, have not been considered or in the conversations of being the best in the world. So, when I look at who the best in the world is right now, I look at guys like Lee Moriarty, Freddie Yehi, Jay Lethal. It's great to hear my name come up so often, but also I want to put out that there's so many other great wrestlers out there that should also be getting attention as well. So, I'm just happy that people of color are actually getting looked at in a different way now."

Last night's NXT highlights and other new WWE related videos are below.

In addition here's last night's new AEW Dark and Road to Dynamite.

In this interview Bill Goldberg says he owes it to the wrestling business to give back: "I was fortunate to run through the wrestling world like a hot knife through butter in my career, and then I was gone. Serving the business is a responsibility. That includes getting butts in seats and making sure people invest in the product, but it also means you have to give back. I didn't always do that before. But that's my duty, and that's a big reason why I am here. I owe the business a lot more than I have given. I can provide a star like Bobby Lashley a worthy adversary. I need to come back for that reason. There is also a plethora of talent that I believe is on the cusp of stardom, and I am here to help elevate them to the next level."

Tyler Rust says he's a fan of AEW: "I think they're doing amazing stuff. I think wrestling needs competition to WWE in the states because competition breeds improvement. Even if they don't want to say they don't view them as competition, they still have to make sure they're ahead of them. It's up to them to make sure that they're not falling behind, and that's going to make them be better and that's what's also going to make AEW push to be more every time. They just started their second show last Friday night, and things like that are going to just make the wrestling world in general, for everybody involved, even if they're not in the two companies, have more opportunities because it's just gonna keep this boom going. I think AEW's doing a fantastic thing, and I hope for nothing but them to grow and give more job offers to people in this industry that are really deserving it because it's amazing seeing your buddies out there making money."

Maria Kanellis says this era is the best era of her wrestling career: "This is it. This is the most fulfilling. There have been several moments, but some of these Tickets to Gold, they didn't have a clue they were getting the Ticket to Gold or going to be in the tournament. When I jumped up on Willow after her match, she had no clue that this was happening and so just that feeling of like, 'Oh, my gosh, this is my dream and now someone's giving me a chance at my dream.' That's the most fulfilling thing I can do. That's something I can be proud of. I think that the women we've had in the tournament have been fantastic. The matches are incredible. I can't wait for everybody to see them."

Chicago has a new indoor mask mandate which will affect AEW Rampage at the United Center on Friday.
