Big ESpeaking to Yahoo! Sports, Big E talks about his Survivor Series match with Roman Reigns: "I'm looking forward to putting on a memorable match that people talk about for a while. I think what has happened the past couple of weeks has added a different level of vitriol with what they did to Kofi and [Xavier] Woods. We have our history with the Usos, but this version is different. I think those guys are at the very top of the industry, Roman has had an incredible run for over a year, he's been killing it. The Bloodline in general is just a dominant faction. Paul Heyman may be the best manager of all time, he's definitely in the conversation. I think when you see what they have been doing, it makes you want to step your game up and it makes you want to be even better. To add another level of intensity and to bring it. That's what I am excited for, to be a better version of myself. I talked about it before, being in the ring with Drew made me better than I was when I walked in. That's what I hope when I am in there with Roman. When it is all over, I hope to have done something to add to my legacy, my resume and to walk out a better pro wrestler than I was beforehand."

In this interview Bret Hart says he tried to get WWE to sign Steve Austin sooner: "I thought Steve was someone to be reckoned with before he ever got to WWE. I saw him in WCW, and I think he went to ECW for a time. I remember when he jumped from WCW and ended up in ECW, I actually went into Vince's office and go 'Why didn't they get this guy? Why didn't someone grab him when he was available?' I remember I had this conversation with Vince a lot. I thought it would be really good for me to wrestle him. A week later, he was sitting in the dressing room."

Apparently Jinder Mahal has joined the cast of the ABC show Big Sky.

Chelsea Green talks about potentially working for AEW: "The one promotion I haven't done is AEW. I've done everything else but has yet to step in the official AEW ring. I was at All In, the only female match on the card, but it's time to explore that option. It's something I haven't explored in the past six months. Maybe 2022 is my year."

Taylor Wilde talks about being invited to the Mae Young Classic: "I was invited to that first Mae Young Classic. I hadn't been wrestling, this was like six, seven years retired, I was like, 'yeah, okay fuck it. You don't get this opportunity all the time. WWE's going to run this all-women's tournament. If there's any reason to get my ass out of retirement, this is it.' So I start training, I am a firefighter now and I am a lot stronger and healthier than I used to be. So I went to run to the turnbuckle, dude was going to pop me up, land on the top rope and I can't remember what I was going to do. He pops me up, but I overshot him. I basically could have done it myself, I overshot the turnbuckle, head butting the beam. My face was all mangled. I landed on my feet and I was like, 'I'm okay.' But, it was the first time I had post-concussion syndrome. So I was like, 'that's enough.' I made it six years professionally with a career on TV, here I am at 30 trying to get back in gear and I knock myself silly and have to get my face glued shut. I was like, 'Nah, pass.' Everything happens for a reason. I wasn't ready then and it still took me a few more years, but I'm back now. A career for a female wrestler is different now, 35 is not the kiss of death anymore. I feel like I have a lot more to give."

On his new podcast Freddie Prinze Jr. talks about his time working for WWE in creative: "So I get there, I'm super excited and I meet my superior, Michael P.S. Hayes, and yes, the P.S. stands for 'pure sexy'. So Michael, who has seen it all, now has to deal with this Hollywood guy coming into his writer's room and he's supposed to teach me the wrestling business, right? And I'm supposed to write better scripts, and nobody has been told anything about the other person. So I get in there, I have my meeting with him and he's awesome. He couldn't have been cooler to me. He had just been in trouble with the company is what I was told, so he was kind of humbled a little bit and maybe that's why he was nice. But Michael and I, by the time I left, we were really, really tight. So he kind of breaks it down for me and says, 'Here's what you're going to have to do. Here's how many wrestlers you have on the TV roster that are going to be working, and you have to give me four weeks of stories for all of them. And most of the time, they're not going to go through because there's not going to be enough time in the show, but that's your job no matter what. I said, 'Cool if that's my job, that's my job.' While I'm having the meeting with him, they knock on his door and say, 'Vince wants to see Freddie in his office.' And Michael's like, 'You need to go.' So I get up and go, 'What the hell is this?'"

Kenny Omega confirmed on Dynamite he's taking some time off to "fix things." (AEW)
