In this interview Natalya talks about training Ronda Rousey for pro wrestling: "Three-ish years ago when I first was training with her, I found her to be really motivated. She really wanted to learn everything she could about what we did in WWE. She had done judo, she had done MMA, obviously, one of the pioneer women of MMA. Somebody that put women in MMA on the map. She understood pretty fast that WWE and pro wrestling is a whole different animal. nIt's not just going in there and you versus your opponent. It's like, hey, you gotta make sure you have a good relationship with the girls that you're working with. You have to be able to gel and to trust the people that you're in the with because you're giving them your body, and they're giving you their body. I feel like she picked up on it really fast because she had respect. She was always super respectful to me if we were putting matches together. We had a match on Raw once, for Christmas. It was 2018 in December. We had our only singles match together. Long story short, she was really trusting of me. She wasn't telling me, 'Hey, I need to look strong, or I can't do this, or I don't think my character would do that', and she was like, 'You take the reigns, you tell me what to do. I trust you, Nattie.' She really trusted me to guide her. It made me so happy because we had this phenomenal match. I loved our match together."

On his latest podcast DDP talks about the time Triple H called him for the WWE Hall of Fame: "I pick up the phone and it's Triple H, and I'm like, 'Hey bro, what's up, man?' And he goes, 'Hey man, so how's the shooting going?' 'Really great. We're at the last shot right now.' We were talking just bullshit. And then he says something about, 'It's actually crazy when your whole life, and how you came in and when you were thirty-five and a half, and I'm thinking to myself because I'm there as Terra Ryzing, you know, what's he thinking? Is he out of his mind? He's never going to be able to learn it, he'll be too old by the time he figures it out. And then you're down that Power Plant every damn day.' And then he starts really putting me over, and then I'm looking and I'm seeing the cameras and they're filming me. Then I'm like, 'Oh my god, is this that call?' One thing he told me was that they've always wanted to film someone hearing they're going in into the WWE Hall of Fame. Like, how do they react? The camera's there and now you get the call, you've got a good idea you're going in. I had no idea. Mainly because the calls that I've always gotten are in, like, maybe in late December, but it's normally January. This was October. I had no idea."

Here Daniel Garcia talks about the difference between pro wrestling and sports entertainment: "There is a big difference between pro wrestlers and sports entertainers. I fit the mold of a sports entertainer perfectly. I am charismatic, I'm pretty handsome, I'm a good-looking guy, and I fit the mold of a sports entertainer perfectly. I feel I'm one of the only sports entertainers on the AEW roster. Same with Chris Jericho. He's really taken me under his wing and is teaching me how to excel and be a sports entertainer because that's where you make money, where you become rich, where you become one of the greatest of all time. Chris Jericho is teaching me how to do that."

Jake "The Snake" Roberts says Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat is dealing with some health issues: "To be quite honest with you, I know Steamboat's having issues right now. I hope to hell it wasn't what I did. I really do man, because that haunts me. That's beginning to haunt me a lot. Ricky, if you're listening, you know I never meant to do that. I didn't want to do that. I begged you not to do that. I just pray for you man. He's a good dude man." He's referring to a famous DDT he gave Steamboat onto a concrete floor.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin on the other hand is doing fine: "I'm 100%, I picked up a little bit of a cold the other day, but I'm back home in Nevada. Sunday, I was 100% and of course, went back into on Sunday to deliver a little bit of extra physicality as part of the show. It was an exciting time for me to go back to a business that I really really love. I never thought I'd be back in the ring, but there we were, headlining WrestleMania for night one and it was an honor to be out there. Really excited to be able to…just like the last few times I've been able to drink Broken Skull IPA out in the ring, a couple years ago we got a lot of exposure for that. A real proud moment because when El Segundo and I decided to come out with a lager, which is what everybody was wanting, it was really satisfying because I drank everybody's beer in the past, I've been drinking beer my whole life and we've given all those other brands a little bit of a rub by using their beer. To go out there and drink our own beer was very satisfying."

3:00 PM ET. Maria Kanellis says she's been in talks with Tony Khan.

Adam Cole says Triple H made the right call by retiring.
