Russian wrestler talks Ukraine conflict:

Despite playing a proud Russian heel gimmick, Leyla Hirsch has spoken out against the war in Ukraine...

“I want to make something very clear. I stand with Ukraine one hundred percent and my heart breaks for its citizens who are suffering at the hands of Vladimir Putin. I was born in Russia. I came to the US at eight years of age and became an American citizen. I cannot change my heritage any more than any other citizen can change theirs. The mere fact that I was born in Russia does not mean that I support this brutal dictator. Everyone who would even suggest such a thing is simply wrong, plain and simple.”

Samoa Joe talk negotiating own pay for WWE game:

“Built into most of our contracts is a licensing agreement. Depending on whether or not – like I said I’m Samoa Joe, that’s my trademark, that’s my own. For me, it was a bit different than most guys because I just – I had a licensing agreement with WWE and we negotiated our price based on that. You know, essentially, it’s the same type of thing with guys who maybe don’t have their own name or something. It’s just when you leave there, that character is still their property.”

But obviously want to go there, take on whoever it is – whether it’s New Day, whether it’s Usos, it doesn’t really matter to us – we just want to go in there and show people what we can do.”
