Sarray (Sari Fujimura a/k/a Sareee) appears to be done with WWE. She hasn't been used since last August, her contract runs out in a week, and she is expected to announce she's returning to Japan once it does. (WO) She's been a champion in JWP, Pro Wrestling Wave, Sendai and more already in her young life (she's only 26) so she could hardly want to sit around in the US and do nothing when she can go back to being a star at home -- and more power to her for that.

In this interview Awesome Kong talks about knowing her value in Impact and not being afraid to ask for more money: "I did feel like I wasn't being compensated for what I had accomplished. So now today, yes I was right. I have no regrets for asking them to pay me what I felt I deserved. They knew they were paying me peanuts and they knew that I was broke as hell and they were banking on me being so broke that I couldn't leave and telling me, 'WWE is never going to pick you up because they only hire 'X, Y and Z' type people,' and that sunk in for awhile but me being me saying, 'Well I would rather sell oranges off these of the 405 freeway than to not get paid what I feel I have earned. Deuces, it's been nice and awesome, but I can't work and not get paid what I feel I earned. I was a businesswoman and knew my business ... already being a black woman I made three-fourths of what other people make so knowing that when Gail and I would pop up on that screen, that's when the highest ratings would go on. Numbers don't lie. You got the spreadsheet right there, it said, 'Them two bitches right there is making y'all's money. Pay them.'"

Things have taken a new turn in Stephanie Vaquer accusing Cuartero of domestic violence -- CMLL has now released a statement supporting Vaquer and not Cuartero: "In CMLL, we join the solidarity, support, and respect that has been shown to Stephanie Vaquer by fans and the media. We energetically condemn any form of violence against women and reiterate our commitment to promote a life free of violence and harassment in our staff and attendees to our arenas. We ask the fans and the media for their support and respect for Stephanie Vaquer in these difficult moments, as well as to be prudent and respectful until she makes the appropriate public statements." If you read between the lines that sounds like they believe Cuartero has done these heinous things.

Paul Wight f/k/a Big Show talks about working to return to the ring: "Working hard, training hard to get back in the ring, which will hopefully happen real soon. I've had a hip replacement and just got a knee replacement done in August, which sounds like the end of an athlete's career, but modern technology, I'll tell you, I feel better joint-wise than I've felt the past 15 years. Now, it's about getting the muscle stronger and having a bit more fun. I have a couple years left in AEW, for sure, signed a nice healthy contract when I came over and I plan on making good on that contract in AEW for Tony Khan and myself."
