I'm sure Cena is breathing a lot easier with this no longer being a concern.
 


Alexa Bliss opens up about what it meant to her to work with Bray Wyatt, and the lessons she still carries forward from him "I always say it was the most fun I've ever had in my career, because it was such a fun challenge. When I first joined with Bray, I remember thinking, 'I don't wanna be the one to mess this up.'"Because he had such a cool thing going with the Firefly Fun House and the Wyatt Family and the whole thing. So for me, I was stepping into his world and I wasn't gonna be the one to bring it down."I remember when I first started working with him, he gave me this whole - because he does deep dives on his characters, deep, deep dives, all this research - he was like, 'Watch these documentaries, watch these scary movies, watch this, take notes on this.' And it really made me appreciate the fact that it wasn't just doing research on your character - he created a whole world for his character."And that was something that I took with me, you have to know your character inside and out, you have to know where they grew up, you have to know the world that they live in, you have to know what is reality to them and not just what we see in front of us. And that was something that really opened my eyes character-wise."He was a creative genius, and he saw the world of WWE in a different way than anybody else ever has, and he created this whole alternate universe within the WWE universe. And that was something that I found so fascinating, his creativity, and any time that he wants to talk about creative, it was like you had to keep up, because his mind was just going."It was so cool to not only witness but be a part of. And the fact that we're continuing his story with the Wyatt Sicks and we have the Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks House at the Universals, I think it's so cool."I just love that the WWE as a whole is keeping his vision alive and keeping him alive. I think that he would be super happy with everything that we're doing to keep it going."
 


Booker T comments on Wes Lee being released by WWE:"Wes Lee is a guy that's highly, highly talented. Wes Lee is a guy that I would have thought would have been safe. But I think also, about what this thing is all about, NXT, being a developmental system."Wes Lee's been there for, what, five years. When you've been in the developmental system five years and you're not looked upon as being someone that's gonna make it on the main roster, you could be one of the guys that's gonna get cut."I really feel like this guy, his talent was extraordinary, one of the best North American Champions in NXT, if not the best. A guy who could go out there and fight, and then he could fly and do all of that stuff too."Of course there's a place for Wes Lee. Of course he could go to TNA, of course AEW would pick a guy up just like that, just because he's very, very highly talented."But as far as this developmental system, I would implore guys to think that they've got maybe two and a half years at that. So you better be motivated to figure out what this thing is about, and you might not wanna act like the elder statesman."
 


Powerhouse Hobbs says he didn't reply to AEW reaching out to him in 2020 for a few hours because he initially thought he'd been sent a prank message: "I had just got laid off from my job. My daughter was a couple months old. I couldn't get hired anywhere. I applied at fast food spots, they were like, nah, because I was overqualified from what I was told. "But man, I got a call, QT Marshall actually texted me and I didn't respond back for like, three, four hours because I thought somebody was ribbing me. "Then I got a text from Cody Rhodes. I was just like, I've got to bet on myself at this point."

 


IYO SKY explains the origins of her current WWE ring name:

"I got called up to the main roster, SummerSlam 2022... Hunter called me, 'are you ready to go to Raw?' I totally didn't expect that.

"He told me, with Bayley and Dakota Kai, she was not even working on WWE. That made me so happy, because Bayley, Dakota and me making a new unit, oh my gosh!

"Then he says 'oh, please think of something new for your ring name.' Oh my gosh, I didn't have any time, because that was maybe only five days before SummerSlam. Less than one week, for sure.

"So Io Shirai, the Shirai means 'purple thunder' in Japanese, that's why I tried to think of something when hearing my name, you can imagine something like a fire or water, whatever.

"If you hear (IYO SKY), you can easily think of the sky, and you won't forget my name, so that's why I decided to go with SKY."

 


Samoa Joe says he has "unyielding respect" for both AJ Styles and John Cena, saying Styles using the Coquina Clutch at WWE Crown Jewel was "incredibly cool":"I haven’t seen the match yet I’ve been out working all weekend but I have heard plenty about it and it’s incredibly cool."Both those men are people that I have unyielding respect for and I’m so happy that they have enjoyed the successes that they both have in life. And hey it was wonderful to be thought of in their big moment and my best to both guys."
 


Samoa Joe speaks positively about where young talent can take pro wrestling into the future:“I’m absolutely hopeful. I think wrestling has never been stronger than it is right now. It’s legitimately never been bigger. Seeing where the industry is today, I hope it continues to grow and expand.The young athletes coming up now are making better life decisions overall, and as a result, they’re becoming better athletes. I look forward to what the future holds, and I hope it brings even greater things than the past. Achieving that kind of progress is how we ensure the survival of this industry, and that’s something I want.”
