UK star blasts fans:

Trent Seven has reacted to the abuse the NXT UK roster are getting from UK fans...

"It's codswallop. Absolute codswallop. It's the most pathetic thing in the world. You don't want to sound too egotistical, but in all fairness what we've done in the last two years for the independent scene, for certain fans to turn around and say that now it is ruined, is probably the stupidest thing I've heard anyone say. It is quite clear British wrestling is at the absolute peak of where it has ever been."

John Cena:

John Cena has been cast in a new Netflix project. It is not yet titled, but will see a family get trapped in an abandoned movie studio, and then the films that were made in there come to life, with the family as the stars.

Bryan reveals WWE tests:

Daniel Bryan says WWE put him through a battery of wellness tests after every single match he does, looking for any signs of concussion syndrome, although he told ESPN that he feels he has been passing everything they have thrown at him for over a year now, so is hoping they start to loosen up the protocols.

NXT>WWE:

NXT Takeover tickets are selling faster than the post Royal Rumble TV shows tickets.

Why Paige will not return:

"Mine is all spinal, it's kind of like Edge or Stone Cold. It's spinal stenosis. There is no way I can get back in the ring. But never say never. Maybe in about 40 years time but I don't think you're going to want to see like a 60-odd year old girl in the ring, you know?"

Alum's worry about WWE women:

Victoria and Molly Holly say they fear for the women of the new WWE era...

Victoria...

"It's scary to watch. It's very unpredictable with ladders and tables. It's scary! I'm older and smarter, and I don't want to get seriously hurt."

Molly...

"I wanted to do things well but I also didn't want to get hurt. I have zero injuries from the pro wrestling business. I feel great every day, and I feel like it's because I didn't really push to do more high-risk stuff."

Animal rights group reveal Bryan's title plans:

PETA, a US animal rights group, have revealed that Daniel Bryan has asked WWE to remove the leather strap from his WWE title. They say Bryan will save lives with his stand against the material. (Cows, lives I presume).

Kidd says thanks:

Tyson Kidd suffered an injury that only 5% of sufferers survive, only 1% of whom avoid life limiting paralysis. He and his wife Natalya went to visit the surgeon that made him one of the 1% when he suffered his career ending neck injury at the hands of Samoa Joe, today.

WWE return to Benoit country:

WWE have confirmed they will work events in Edmonton, Canada again, now that a ban on combat sports has been lifted.
