Old girl evicted:
Former WWE and Impact star Brooke Adams is going to court. She claims she was evicted from her home by her landlord over her adding an emotional support dog to her family. She claims she started ti suffer depression after the birth of her child and death of her father, and the dog was vital to her recovery. She is angry that she was made to chose between the dog and her home, and is seeking damages.
The landlord counter claims that he offered her the chance to pay a penalty price for violating the terms of their agreement, but she instead left the home, racking up over $14,000 of unpaid rent, which he wants from the star. Brooke says she did offer to pay the fee, but was instead presented with tenancy violation notices.
Federal law says landlords must allow for the use of service animals, but tenants must make reasonable efforts to gain acceptance before the addition of the animal to the home. Brooke says she feels it is her right to have the dog.

Joe addresses Ambrose WWE departure:
"Dean's a fantastic performer and there's no doubt about it. Me saying that is like saying the sky is blue. As far as his departure, I think Dean's the type of cat that he wants to do things that he's into and if he's not into what he's doing at a certain time then he'll have no problem stepping away and pursuing other things. If that's the case then cool, more power to him. I think there are so many people who are wrapped up in the needs and wants of wanting to become a WWE superstar that they forget sometimes there other goals they want to achieve. I think Dean is a goal-oriented person and when he gets a goal in mind he's going to try and accomplish it, more power to him. He will be missed."

"I say we shelve Charlotte Flair for this one. I really think, Charlotte Flair, come on, her legacy is going to be cemented throughout the years. That's just a given! But right now, I honestly, truly think that it's Becky Lynch's time and Becky Lynch needs this more than Charlotte Flair, I think. Becky Lynch needs this spotlight to actually go out and continue to do business. This is Becky Lynch's moment to go out and shine on the biggest stage of them all, and I'm going to tell you right now, there's no other way that you can do that than being in a singles match, one-on-one, mano a mano. Let's go out and see how good Becky Lynch really is," Booker continued. "Let's go out and see how good Ronda Rousey can be, and that's the way I think it should be. I think, this time right here, this WrestleMania, this moment - 2019, it should be Becky Lynch's time. The man in the WWE! That's just the way I see it. Charlotte Flair, come on, she's going to have her time, Charlotte Flair is going to make history making moments. Charlotte Flair has already made history in so many different ways. But right now, like John Cena used to say, 'Your time is up, my time is now.' The time, right now, is Becky Lynch's."

They kind of have their own tension between them and have a lot of inner betrayals in their own team. I don't know. We'll see how well they do, but I think that there's a lot of other teams that have a lot more solid bond than they do."

[With] potential dream matches and all that, and sort of using the new platform, not necessarily a better one, or a bigger one or whatever.
