Big ESpeaking to Sports Illustrated, WWE champion Big E talks about working with Roman Reigns at Survivor Series this year: "His strength and athleticism are real. He even got me up in that powerbomb. I thought he was going to bail on it, but he had that second surge to get me up. Until you're in the ring with him, people just don't fully realize how good he is. He's an incredible performer on an incredible run, and you can't take away anything from him. I can't say that I'm a guy that's always fought from underneath - I debuted as Dolph Ziggler's bodyguard and I dropped John Cena, so I can't pretend that I was never given anything. But I'm a guy that is barely 5'11"; I didn't have all these accolades coming into the business, and even though I'm not the Roman type, it's all about that fight for me. My life has been filled with learning how to get up after getting knocked down."

In addition Big E talks about taking care of his mental health: "It took me a long, long time. I try my best to never tell anyone, 'This is the way you need to go to overcome mental illness.' We all have our own paths and what works for us. What worked for me; at 19 years old, I had a coach of mine, Rod Akin, who essentially forced me to go talk to someone. In many ways, it really saved my life. Even then, it took a while for me to get into the process. I think so much of how I was raised and just kind of the culture of what it meant to be a man. I always played football and was in the gym. What I was always told from peers and in the home, it was, 'a man does not show vulnerability. You don't cry, you don't show weakness, you don't talk about the way you feel or your emotions.' Maybe that's a protective device that allows you to get to a certain point in life without getting picked on too much and you build up these walls, but eventually it's going to explode. It got to that point with me where it was 'repress, repress, repress,' but it's not going anywhere. What has really helped me is just kind of leaning into the work. I was really opposed to this idea of 'working' people tell me in a relationship you have to work or you have to work on yourself. Who wants to do all that? To me, the work is really beautiful."

In this interview Xavier Woods talks about what his goals are and what he'd say if WWE released him: "I feel they are all kind of connected because I feel like I'm essentially trying to do the same thing everywhere. I'm just trying to be the best version of myself in that space, I guess, is the best way to put it. So, as far as wrestling with New Day, we've been able to accomplish so many things as a tag team, and that's been my focus as a kid. I love tag team wrestling, and I love King of the Ring. So, as far as wrestling goals, now I'm on bonus time. If they would have been like, 'Hey, you won King of the Ring,' and they came back and hit me with the 'You're fired,' I would have been like, 'Okay, deuces, it has been a fun ride.'"

Here Charlie Haas talks about Vince McMahon hating tag team wrestling: "Vince doesn't like tag team wrestling. He looks at it as an added expense, as paying for an extra guy on the road, extra guy in the hotel room. He really doesn't like it and he changed a lot of it over the years. When you're talking about 2002 with the tag teams, I think that was a great time. When I was a kid growing up in the 80s got to watch Arn and Tully, Rock n Roll Express, Midnight Express, The Fantastics, The Guerreros, The Dynamic Duo. Those tag teams meant something, you know? If I'm forgetting anyone, I'm sorry. The tag teams meant something I felt when we were there too, but that's all passion. I love the Tag Team stuff you know, I was a fan of it before I became one."

Raw highlights and new WWE related videos are available below.

Speaking to Busted Open Radio, Jerry Lawler talks about his character rubbing people the wrong way at times: "In my case, some of the things that I would do, and I was just doing it because of my character, or whatever. I was doing stuff that I thought would be funny and entertaining. In my case, a lot of the things that I would say about my opponent in trying to just be funny would cause some hard feelings. I didn't even realize it at the time. I came from an era where you could just say or do anything about your opponent and everybody knew it was just part of the business. But over the years, some people have taken it personally."

AEW Rampage last Friday did 556,000 viewers, up from 515K the week before. The 18-49 demo also rose from 0.20 to 0.22. (Wrestlenomics)

SmackDown on the other hand was down from 2.104 million to 2.064 million viewers, with the 18-49 demo dropping from 0.56 to 0.52. (Wrestlenomics)

Here Kenny Omega talks about vacating the AAA Mega Title: "Fans of AAA, by now I'm sure you've heard the news. I'm out; I'm injured; I need surgery. And you'd think 'Geez Kenny, that's great. You can rest, you can heal, you can come back a better champion for us.' That's not how this story goes. You see, your promotion is taking this belt from me. I wanted to beat you Vikingo. I take joy in beating each and every one of your heroes one by one by one. But AAA, you're stealing the belt from me. After breaking the record by holding your belt longer than anyone else has before, did you once offer to postpone the match? No, and I figured out why. Because this is the only way, isn't it? It's the only way you're ever going to get it off of me. But it's okay, I'll let it slide, and I'll tell you why. This gives you a chance to build a brand new hero. Whether it's Vikingo or not, it gives you that chance. And if I know anything about how you run your business, it's that when I come back, I get first dibs. And that'll be the first step in winning the belt again, and that'll be the first step in not only becoming the greatest wrestler in North American history, but also the greatest wrestler in Japan history. And then by winning the Mega Championship for a second time and breaking my old record, I'll become the greatest luchador in professional wrestling history. So enjoy the time now while I'm gone, because I'll be back. I promise you."

Bad Bunny was prepared for WWE fans to hate him: "They are not Bad Bunny fans. They do not listen to reggaeton; they listen to metal. I was so ready for the hate."

Velvet Sky and Bully Ray announced their breakup on social media, saying it was amicable on both parts, and that they'd have no other comment on the matter.

In this interview AJ Lee talks about her first suicide attempt: "When I was 19 or 20 I had overdosed and had my first suicide attempt - when I became a suicide survivor for the first time, I didn't know. I just thought it was just my brain, very matter-of-factly saying, 'There's a pain and we needed to stop it,' and that was terrifying to me not understanding what was happening, but just like, 'Oh, well, this is the solution.' Then when you survive something like that, for me, personally, and I don't know if it's like everybody, but for me, the scary thing is how it almost becomes - it stays with you. It's like always an option. It's like your darkness will always tell you it's an option. So that's something you have to fight constantly."

The latest episode of AEW Dark: Elevation is below.

Here Dalton Castle talks about the latest ROH tapings: "I've only got two months left on my contract before I am completely fired ... Ring of Honor is giving us all the boot at the end of the year. It all feels meaningless actually. We just did a recording, like, three days ago and it was weird because we showed up knowing our jobs are ending."

I'll tell you something that nobody even knows, maybe some people know this, at one time it was gonna be me MVP and John on a song together, and actually, John came to my house. I think I still have it in my studio. John came to my house, and we recorded a song together and we was going to drop a song together. Yeah, I still have it up there. We just never done anything with it. I don't know. We just never done nothing with it. I do have the song with John upstairs, but I have enough music for three albums right now."
