Our first one on one match on a @WWE PPV..(The argument over who would be the heel was epic, lol).

– In a recent interview with Sportskeeda’s Inside SKoop, former WCW and WWE referee Nick Patrick, opened up on JJ Dillon returning to his managerial role on a recent episode of AEW Dynamite.
“It’s good to see J.J. again, and I’m glad to see some of the old-timers still being able to be in the mix and get a gig. Whether they need it or not, I don’t know what the situation is. It’s good to see that. They show respect. Both of those guys certainly earned respect. J.J. was certainly, to me, one of the best managers of all time.”
– Speaking of AEW, Tony Schiavone recently revealed a graphic novel project.
For someone who grew up loving comic books, this is a big deal for me in many ways. We go live at 11 AM ET. Thank you for your support for everything we do. https://t.co/C4yysrlOSr pic.twitter.com/70aXtHY352

– Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Christian Cage revealed that his new slogan, “Out-work Everyone” is not just a tagline for him. It is a way of life.
“That’s always been my thing,” Reso says. “No matter where I was on the card, or whatever story I was in, that kept me relevant. The shows are better with me on them, and I’m willing to out-work everyone. That isn’t a tagline; that’s the truth.”
– WWE stock today closed at $57.72 per share.
