Brock Lesnar:

Brock's UFC opponent says he plans to use the WWE man as a stepping stone to bigger things...

"I was trying to get to a title shot, I'm trying to get a top five guy now and make my run for this title. I'm only doing what I'm told, the boss is saying you've gotta fight Lesnar I said, "Okay cool, that's fine.' It's not my call then. It's a fight and his comeback so I'll send him back to pro wrestling."

CM Punk blasts WWE, talks return to wrestling:

"Back in I want to say, 2011, my contract was up and they were trying to re-sign me and they were trying to re-sign me for lowball figures. It's what they do to the guys. They're indentured servants. They try to pay them the smallest amount of money you could possibly pay them. There's no health insurance. You're responsible for your own travel, your own hotels, your own food on the road. You're home once a day, maybe. I did that 10 years to get to the WWE and then I did it 10 years there, so my gas tank was empty in that regard."

He went on to share his sadness that his friend Daniel Bryan had to stop doing what he loved, but advised that there is more to life than ''Silly'' pro wrestling. He then shared his thoughts on his own wrestling future, confessing that he may come back, but that he will never work for WWE again...

"No, I don't think so. But it is one of those "never say never" things. I like to cover all my bases, just so some internet dweeb is going to be like, 'you said you'd never wrestle again!' But WWE? No. Absolutely not. But you never know, I could pop up here and there. Let me explain that to you even better... it's not going to even be televised, it's going to be me in a ninja f--king outfit wrestling one of my buddies and nobody's ever going to know. It's going to be very 'Monty Python' so to speak."
