Rock responds:

The Rock has responded to a poll suggesting he could beat Donald Trump in a presidential election...

"I've really been blown away, it's so flattering. I think it's because a lot of people want to see a different leadership today - not different, but a better leadership today. I think more poise, less noise. I also think over the years I've become a guy a lot of people relate to. I get up early in the morning at a ridiculous hour and go to work. I spend time with the troops, I take care of my family, I love taking care of people. I think that kind of thing really resonates with people, especially today."

Chris Jericho talks Kevin Owens feud:

"I remember we did a TV taping in London after WrestleMania last year, so it could be April, I'm sure if you'll Google it you'll find it, random pairing of Jericho and Owens. After the match was done, you know you do a little bit of pop and circumstance, and we won the match and we were celebrating, just as a random tag team, and he ran down the aisle way and ran and jumped into my arms. I remember thinking this is a big dude. Like holy sh*t. I better plant myself. He jumped and I got him and he was like 'We're the greatest! We're the greatest!' then he's like 'You're the GOAT!' and I was like 'You're the donkey!' He was like 'Yeah you're the GOAT and I'm the donkey!' It was funny interplay and Vince thought it was hilarious. That's when I was like 'Dude, there's something with this guy.' He's super funny as a guy, very sarcastic and dry, a lot like me. So then I just kept an eye on it and I remember going to talk to Vince before SummerSlam and saying, one of my ideas was to work with Nakamura at WrestleMania cause I worked with him in Japan, and I said 'this guy's great.' He needs to be in WrestleMania, I want to introduce him to the world. Then about two weeks later I said I think we can do Jericho vs. Owens at WrestleMania, I think we have enough steam, we just started the team. I think SummerSlam was our first official against Enzo and Cass. That's how it started, was from there. The build and the improv, you just know when you have chemistry with someone. It reminded me of when I was working with The Rock or with Shawn. Or working with Edge, you just have that chemistry that's just there and when you've been in the business as long as I have, when you catch that lightning in a bottle you want to expand and take advantage of it as much as you can."
