Tough Enough:

WWE did not get their wish, ZZ lives on. He was not placed into the bottom three by the judges, despite the coaches repeatedly burying him during this weeks footage. Paige proved to be pivotal to the all female vote off, as she saved GiGi, literally. Had it not been for her GiGi would have been gone, after amassing the least votes from the public. Instead Chelsea was eliminated, after only a couple of weeks. She was the late addition to the cast, as a substitute.

John Cena will be on the show next week.

Rey reveals why he quit WWE:

''I don't regret any steps that I take in life. This is something that I've been looking forward to for a while. I really wanted to have some time off, without feeling any sort of commitment to be on a certain schedule. Now, I'm doing things my way, under my terms. I'm dictating my pace towards retirement. I'm not on the grind. I was constantly competing. This is a good thing for me. This is something that my wife and I thought would be best for my body and for myself. I get to be a husband and a father again. I get to enjoy time with my kids now. I was a workaholic for so many years. I've missed so many birthdays and anniversaries. Now that my kids are a bit older, I want to be around and I want to enjoy it. I want to send my kids off to college if that's what they want to do. I want to do all the family things I've missed over the years.''
