– Xavier Woods still believes Triple H to be the King of Kings, even when surrounded by “kingly” Pokemon. He tagged Nintendo in the post and hinted that maybe we see The Game pop up in a DLC update for Pokemon Snap.
Amongst all these kingly Pokémon, and probopass, you still reign supreme as the king of KINGS! Hmmm this would be a pretty sweet image to catch in a @Pokemon snap dlc…. @nintendo —

– Speaking with the Wrestling Perspective Podcast, IMPACT X Division Champion Josh Alexander had this to say when he was asked about dream matches he’d like to have:
“Shingo Takagi would be number one from New Japan. He’s my favorite active wrestler right now. I would take Kenny [Omega] and Eddie Kingston for a random one.”
On the flip side, he then shared one wrestler he wished he had never crossed paths with. Here is what he said:
“Honkey Tonk Man. Yeah [I have worked with him], I took the ‘Shake, Rattle and Fall’ in 2008. He would just grab you and turn and watch you drop and he wouldn’t even go down with you.”
– Appearing on Talking Smack, Natalya and Tamina said that the Women’s Tag Team Championships are a passport and are willing to defend against any team from any brand.
– WWE also shared a video of Natalya and Tamina having new side plates put on their titles. An emotional Tamina says that she can finally say she is a champion in WWE.

– Pat McAfee appeared as a guest on Talking Smack and offered up a prediction for tomorrow’s SmackDown Women’s Title match between Bianca Belair and Bayley. Here is what he said (transcription via Wrestling Inc.):
“This has been quite a build here because Bayley said, ‘I think, and it feels like I’m looking at a younger version of me.’ Bianca is born for this. I think Bayley is about to get her ass beat by The EST, honestly.”
