Randy Orton talks SummerSlam backstage fight:

"Basically, what happened is Jericho saw what was going on in the ring and wanted answers as to whether my best interests were in mind as far as my health and safety. I had my family there, sitting front row, and Chris knew that, as well. He was just coming up to check on his boy, that's what it boiled down to, and I think that's awesome. You hear all these things about how they were going to fight, but I don't think Jericho wanted to fight Brock, I'm just going to throw that out there. I think he was coming up to just make sure everything was cool. It's unfortunate that in that small space, with the dozen bodies in there, somehow that leaked and everybody knew about it. That's very unfortunate. It was blown way out of proportion, and Jericho just wanted to check on one of his fellow boys in the locker room. I have a lot of respect for Brock. I was down in OVW with him, and I was there a few months before he came. We all knew he was coming, but when he came, he was humble and a fun guy to be around. He's still the same way. He's been through a lot, and he's really became a name in this business and in MMA."

Vader says he has been given a better prognosis by a new doctor, and says there may be some hope for him yet. He had been told he would be dead within two years due to congestive heart failure last month.

WWE react to Hardy:

HHH talks WWE controversies:

Triple H says Donald Trump called him to ask about Vince McMahon's welfare when they shot the death scene of his car exploding in 2007, and shared the story of the taping of the Katie Vick angle. Which was even seedier than the angle itself...

"Vince is yelling at me, 'goddammit, do it harder! Make more noise and stuff, it's gotta be over the top!'. There's a funeral in the next room. The funeral director opens the door and sticks his head in. I look back, I've got this Kane mask on, I'm buck naked. I was like 'How ya doin'? Good to see you.'"
