Steve Austin reveals WrestleMania injury:

"The hardest thing for me was, I went into that event with a torn rotator cuff. I tore it pretty good trying to train too heavy and I figured I'd be able to work around it. What I didn't factor in was the fact that I was going to need a few working punches to get into a position to throw the Stunners that they wanted me to throw. So, on that first right hand to Rusev, I hit him right in the mouth [or] right in the nose, just busted him open, got him in the corner, and that first punch blew everything out. And so, getting through the rest of it, catching the beers, holding those beers up when you're in the moment with the adrenaline and all that going, it's easy to do. All of a sudden, backstage, you can't even drink a beer, so I went into that with a bit of a handicap, so the thing about it is it was what it was."

Ryback moving on?:

Ryback has expressed frustration with his WWE career, and has hinted at moving away from wrestling, if his status does not change... soon...

"To be quite honest, absolutely not. The last 3 WrestleManias have not been great. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail on that but it would've been nice to have been on the show where both of us belong. The US Title definitely belongs on there. Hopefully next year, if there is a next year, that it will be a better experience. I've heard in this business hard work doesn't always pay off. So maybe The Big Guy has to go find another world where that does pay off. But you work really, really hard at something and you dedicate yourself, and you sometimes have to be told you're somewhere else. That's a tough pill to swallow time and time again but I've never stopped believing in myself and I never will. Next year should undoubtedly be a big year for The Big Guy."

''Despite what you may have heard, I really don't believe Triple H dislikes me, as my son Mickey implied on his live stream - from which point the story took on a life of its own. Keep in mind, that my son Mickey is on the autism spectrum and while he is a bright and beautiful child, he doesn't always speak with the same type of filterthat most of us naturally have – and as a result, he is much more likely to say exactly what comes into his mind. Sure, it created something of an awkward position for me – but nothing that is said or done will ever take away from the bond Triple H and I share; the bond of great matches as we were moving up the card in 1997 and 1998, and when we were on top of the card, on top of the cell – and figuratively, on top of the world in 2000. Rumors will come and go. But memories like the ones Triple H and I created will last a lifetime.''

Injury:

Bray Wyatt was pulled from last nights WWE event in Milan, due to the injury he suffered on the first night of the European tour.

John Cena talks branching out:

"From the time you wake up from the time you go to bed, it's a struggle. It's more embracing new opportunities; producing this show, taking a hosting route rather than an in-the-action player, which is kind of what I've been for the WWE over the past 15 years. Even slightly before that, the roles in comedies aren't really typical of my profession. It's just being able to take that leap of faith into doing interesting things and new projects that normally wouldn't be on the menu for someone like me. Being able to swing in and host the Today show when they call me, it certainly is a new experience that I have a lot of fun with, and it's different than being in the middle of the ring in Monday Night Raw. I'm becoming less reserved about going for it if the opportunity presents itself."

He also put The Rock over...

"Dwayne never forgets the passionate fans of the WWE, never forgets what the WWE did for him as a human being," Cena said. "He's a stand-up guy, and the fact he's succeeded in so many ventures in life and still always finds his way back 'home' — as I like to say — it's extremely impressive, it speaks volumes of him and his character."

''The campaign for the "Our Ladder" t-shirts should be launching in the next week, however I did want to inform fans that to honor late Pro-Wrestling star Kris Travis, the charity receiving 100% of the profits will be CAVENDISH CANCER CARE. Full disclosure, I never had the privilege to meet Kris. I know in pro-wrestling gaining the respect of your peers is invaluable and does not come easy. When asked about him, a trusted peer of mine said he was a "good man". With the industry muddled in social media-negativity and selfishness we could certainly use more individuals like Kris. With @ProjectCiampa 's help, I am really looking forward to launching this campaign.
