Rock interview:
On Roman Reigns...
"Ready to headline WrestleMania and ready to be the champ are two different things. I think that he's in a unique position. He's being pushed quickly, I was in that position before so I know what it's like, but at the same time you either sink or swim so you've got no choice but to be ready. Fans have expressed their displeasure in it and that is the best part about the WWE Universe is that they're so vocal and passionate about how they feel. I think he's going to go out with Brock, who I've known for a very long time, and they're going to have a hell of a match and that's what I expect."
On match vs Brock Lesnar...
"In Dallas? Possibly. There's a lot of things that are up in the air. We'll see. I would love that rematch. Whatever it is I think that you want to create something that is going to be special, memorable and especially in Dallas at that stadium and you have a shot at breaking the attendance record. It's gotta be special."
On CM Punk...
"I think he's going to great because he's putting in the time to train. And he's had the background anyway so I think he's going to great."
WrestleMania 31:
WWE have started to construct the set today.
For the second year running the Tag Titles will be defended in the pre show...
Cesaro & Tyson Kidd vs New Day (Members TBC) vs The Uso's (Depending on Jey's injury) vs Los Matadores.
Mysterio involved in ring tragedy:
Perro Aguayo Jr was killed during a match with Rey Mysterio and TNA star Manik last night. Mysterio delivered a dropkick to his back, causing a cervical injury, Aguayo, aged just 35, then snapped his neck on the ropes as he fell. The event organisers were heavily criticised for their slow response to the clearly injured star, and for carrying him out on a plank of wood, furthering his back injury. Medics and officials, including Konnan, tried for an hour to save the star, but it was too late, he died in hospital this morning.
Here is the match in full, the accident is at the six minute mark. It goes without saying that this has a CONTENT WARNING...
Mysterio took to the mic to inform the crowd of what happened...
"When we get into the ring, we give ourselves and our best to our public. A real accident happened. I ask you with my heart for a prayer that God protect him."
Perro once worked for WWE, at the 1997 Royal Rumble, in the pre show, his legendary father competed on the card that night. He was just 17 at the time. AAA and CMLL have paid tribute, I have not seen one from WWE as yet, but it was unlikely, as they would have to acknowledge Rey was working the match, and they do not want to admit he is gone.
The death is being investigated as a possible manslaughter.
Tough Enough:
WWE want 18-30 year olds for the show, they will pay $100 a day for the final line up.
WWE ready to play hard:
WWE are ready to push Brock Lesnar to sign his new deal on Monday, they do not want to wait for him to decide after WrestleMania, but he has stated he will let them know at the end of the month.
