Speaking to Busted Open Radio, Cody Rhodes talks about being booed by the fans in some situations: "I'm of the outlook that if you pay your money to attend the show if you give us your attention to watch the show, you do whatever you want. I think our competition in the wrestling space, one of the things that has hurt them is their inability to hear. If you're a wrestler in the ring, you can hear and if you don't hear, you're doing yourself a disservice. Cody RhodesYou're doing the whole company a disservice, you're doing the match you're in a disservice. I can hear but I also play chess, not checkers. So I think it's fun to speculate and there's so much that we've seen in the past, 'That's how this went and that's how this could go.' The challenge I'm facing in the direction I'm going is something that has never been done in wrestling before. There's tons of just old plays that we could run here, 'Oh, kick this guy in the balls and abuse my EVP power.' Very soap opera bullshit. I don't mean to say it that harsh, but the challenge for me now is to go in a direction that perhaps no wrestler has gone before. I don't come out of either tunnel, if that's probably the best way to put it, and I'm looking forward to it as the most fun I've ever had in my career has been navigating some of these new spaces. For example, in New York, we had 25,000 people and that reaction's a little different. Last week, I'm in the concourse doing a book drive for community outreach and it's the opposite of that reaction in Philly. That beautiful feeling of, 'Alright, these are my people,' depends (on the setting). Some places I go, they'll be my people. Other places I go, they won't, but that's your right as the fan to do what you want."

In this interview Jinder Mahal tries to take credit for Drew McIntyre's run as WWE Champion: "He followed it to a T. I came to WWE before Drew. Came back. Became WWE Champion before Drew. Main evented all over the world before Drew. Did all this media before Drew. Now Drew touts himself as this great media machine and everything. Doesn't stop talking about how much media he does. Guess what? We all do it. I was there. We all do it. We all have our turn. I'm still doing it. I just don't advertise it. You see Drew McIntyre wearing this suit. Where do you think he got his style from? The Maharaja, right? All the swagger, all this confidence. If there was no Modern Day Maharaja as WWE Champion there would be no Drew McIntyre. I showed him the way. I showed him it was possible. I gave him the belief in himself."

Miz and Mrs. has been renewed for a third season by USA Network.

Junior Dos Santos talks about his AEW wrestling debut tonight below.

In this interview Aubrey Edwards talks about learning she'd referee CM Punk vs. Powerhouse Hobbs: "I think we were in Cincinnati. I think that was the show after All Out. Punk told me he's like, 'Hey, I want you to ref my next match.' Yeah, he like fist bumps, walks away. So I don't know what his next match is, cool. I mentioned to Paul because Paul (Turner) is our senior referee, he does all the assignments. I'm like, 'Hey, Punk had mentioned to me that he wants me to ref his next match. He goes, 'Okay, cool.' Then, come to find out it's going to be his match with Will Hobbs at Rampage in Queens and the biggest show we've ever done. Okay, cool. Thankfully, I had had two matches before that. So I had gotten the warm-up and the nervousness out, which is silly because I literally did the match right before which was the Women's Title match on Dynamite and that was nerve-wracking. Main events are always hard because you have to be off the air by a certain amount of time. So timing is really really critical for them, so there's that. I have literally run to the back, chug a bottle of water, go back out for Rampage. Like it was just insane, but I am standing in the ring. Hobbs does his entrance. Then the little sound right before Cult of Personality starts playing and I just look at Hobbs and he's just like (swearing)."

Chris Jericho talks about that aforementioned JDS and friends wrestling match for Rampage: "It's going to stand out as an attraction. There is a good chance that Jorge (Masvidal) gets involved. And when you watch Junior Dos Santos, you're not going to see him do a leapfrog or a dropkick. He's going to look like a UFC champion in the ring. I'm not expecting him to go out there and be Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania. I want him to go out there and beat the crap out of us. And Dan Lambert is an actual heel out there. He understands the business. There will be a lot to the end game here. One of the reasons is to get Junior Dos Santos into the ring, which you'll see on Friday."

Tony Khan talks about CM Punk vs. Matt Sydal: "I think CM Punk versus Matt Sydal is a very important match. I'd like to talk about both guys, but also talk about why the match is important. You brought up CM Punk, he has been so important to our business. I mean, since he came in, since the First Dance, we've seen a lift in almost every major business metric imaginable, at least six different business metrics have had this big bump. And every show he's on, he's a bump, a lift, we maintain this great audience. Pay per view audience saw a boost, live event, merchandising, and our SVOD subscriptions have gone through the roof, and you see AVOD as well, so he's just a huge, huge draw for the company, but he's also a great wrestler. And at the end of the day, the TV show is about wrestling and that's why this weekend we're going to give the fans a lot of great wrestling."
