DYoung offended by LGBTQ tribute:

"When I was released in 2017, I was more hurt, not about the release, but more about months later, at WrestleMania, the LGBTQ colors were embraced by a good friend of mine, a straight ally, Finn Balor, who's an amazing wrestler, an amazing talent, and good human being. But I was kind of upset because, why not let me embrace the colors while I was still with the company? Why not let me show my pride and all that other good stuff? I cried like a baby, honestly. I was just… I was just devastated that I wasn't even invited to the festivities at that WrestleMania."

HOF'er says Sahsa Banks has destroyed her WWE career, whatever she decides:

Tony Atlas says Sasha Banks has ruined her legacy, reputation and chances of making herself a legend with WWE over her spitting the dummy and going home...

"They never fire you on the spot. You always get it at home. That's why they say go home and think about it. Now what they do, they have a meeting. Now, if she [does] decide to come back, they're going to destroy her. Her career is over. They'll job her out. She lost [reliability], because what she... just told them, 'you can't trust me.' That's all she did. She let the wrestling world [down], and not just the wrestling world; everybody affiliated with the WWE is looking at it the same way."
