UFC to WWE:


WWE are hoping to get Ronda Rousey for WrestleMania 33, as a return of the favour they have paid to UFC with Brock Lesnar.


Lesnar exempted:


Brock Lesnar has been allowed to compete at UFC 200 despite neglecting to announce his coming out of retirement four months before his first fight. USADA's guidelines state that a competitor must be available for random testing for that period, but they have waived that rule in this case.


Seth Rollins reveals why Vince banned finish:


"It was right after I won the title at WrestleMania and I think it was the first time Vince had thought about it and he just decided that because they're sending footage down to the Today Show to show because I'm there. I took the flight that night and they're showing me and they have the footage to back up when we're talking and stuff like that and a lot of it is me doing the Stomp. Aside from it having a fairly violent name and connotation, right, but just the visional of it, he was watching it and he thought to himself that it is easily [imitable] by young children, which a lot of our stuff is, but, for whatever reason, he had it stuck in his head, as his champion, as a top guy, he just didn't want that to be the lasting image. He didn't want to put any [bullets] in the [guns], so to speak. He didn't want to have any reason for people to be like, 'oh, what the hell?', so he just removed it from the equation."

He also said he had to go over Triple H's head to get permission to use the Pedigree...

"The Pedigree was something that I feel very fortunate to have it as a finisher. A) because it has a built in response. Everybody knows that's the end of the match for the most part because Hunter had done it for years and years and years. And there [are] only two guys in the history of the company who've done it: myself and Triple H. So that's good company and it fit with what we were doing storyline-wise. So funny story, I texted Hunter about it when I had the idea and I was like, 'hey, what would you think about me using The Pedigree?' and he made some sort of like Hunter joke that I took as him, like, skirting around it, not wanting to say anything. And I was like, 'hmmm, I've got an idea.' So I went directly to Vince when we were looking for new finishers. I said, 'Vince, what would you think about me using The Pedigree?' and he did his Vince thing where he just sits and thinks about it for a minute and stares off and then he looked at me and he was like, 'I love it. It's great. It's perfect. Fits right in with the story. That's it.' And I was like, 'alright, I win! Excellent!' So I kind of went around Hunter to get to him, but I don't think he cares. At the end of the day, he's going to retire and I did it as a tribute, as a way for his legacy to kind of live on in another generation."
