It was cool to go in there and what people got to see was just very raw, like pure, organic me. It showed because you can tell I'm having fun and it just felt a lot different. It opened up a lot of people's perception of me."

On getting to work with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels at the last CWC tapings:
"It was good to be able to spend some time with him in a working environment where I could work with him on stuff from a philosophical point of view. It was great to get advice from him, to see how he operates and it's incredible. It's also encouraging because there's a lot of like-minded philosophy and when that comes about, you get to a point where there's no advice to be given because you guys are thinking on the same rhythm, then it encourages you because your education is better than you think it was. It was awesome to be in that environment. I wanted to tell him the whole time that my Mount Rushmore is your face four times (laughs)...or maybe three times and then Eddie (Guerrero) on the end. There's not a lot of people that I would hold in the same regard. It was so cool that he's in that environment and doing that. If you were to put people in tiers, he's above every tier."

On his matchup with Kota Ibushi in the Cruiserweight Classic finals and how big of a night it will be:
"We've never wrestled before and he's amazing. He's world class - an elite guy. It is the biggest situation I've ever been in mostly because it just seems unwinnable for a guy like me because he is who he is. It's the biggest match I've been able to be a part of because of the social significance among wrestling fans.

Of note, Punk seemed to be having a difficult time dealing with having to cut weight for the fight. Helwani asked Punk how much he currently weighed, but Punk wouldn’t reveal the answer.

“When does this come out?” Punk asked. “It’s a thing I gotta do, it’s not going so well I guess.”

Punk said the process wasn’t fun, and he's never done a weight cut before. Punk noted that he hadn’t done a practice weight cut for the fight and hasn’t been working with a nutritionist. Punk claimed that the last time he weighed 171 lbs was in high school or eighth grade, but he wasn’t worried about making weight for the fight.
During the same interview, Punk implied WWE/Vince wants to bleed Punk dry of money and don't want the Punk-Amann lawsuit to end anytime soon. Punk believes if Vince never got involved, both lawsuits would have been settled a while ago. http://www.f4wonline.com/mma-news/pu...so-well-220336

Reigns pinned Jericho.

Jericho was cheered wildly so he cut a promo about how bad England is and how London is the anus of England. Reigns came out and was booed heavily. Jericho then grabbed the mic and started berating the crowd again. But they still booed Reigns.

When Jericho got Reigns in the Walls of Jericho, the place was chanting “tap, tap, tap.” Reigns speared him and the finish got loud boos except for some kids cheering.

JoJo plugged that Reigns merchandise was on sale and the place started booing heavily. She was trying not to laugh about the reaction
From a recent house show during WWE's current international tour. Thought it was pretty funny overall.

He did an episode of Arrow (he became friends with Stephen Amell when they did the WWE angle together) and is hoping that turns into a recurring role.

Besides indies and a lot of U.K., he is going to work multiple dates starting in December with ROH and noted in particular wanting to work with Adam Cole. Rhodes is also planning on working TNA with he and his wife Brandi doing a program with Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis after they worked together for Northeast Wrestling. He feels he will be able to work both TNA and ROH, even though both have television and to this point nobody has been able to work both. He got at least one set date in New Japan to work with Katsuyori Shibata, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they also work outside of New Japan as well. Cody has gotten offers to work with Damien Sandow since they had a WWE program, but felt he wants to right now concentrate on working with people he's never worked with before.
Some more details regarding recent Cody Rhodes news. Seems like his TNA and ROH stuff is only going to be temporary and not him signing an actual long term deal with either.

The feeling is the Bryan thing was real, really too real, and happened too short of a time ago and it cheapened it by trying to copy it for an angle, not to mention how bad the Banks angle turned out. Even though there was no promo, another name mentioned was T.J. Wilson (Kidd) who hasn’t been able to return for more than a year after breaking his neck. Wilson and Bryan were both very well liked across the board by the talent. Obviously some will note that WWE already did this with Mark Henry, but the difference was that Mark Henry’s situation was a fake retirement, but not regarding an injury. It’s the fact that career ending injuries are a very sensitive subject to those who are friends of those injured.

The reality is they were put on different brands when everyone in decision making power knew full well they were a couple and it’s impossible to believe them being a couple wasn’t figured into the decision. Carmella and Cass were as well but that was different in the sense they wanted to get Carmella over as a wrestler on her own and not part of the Enzo & Cass team so there was a business reason and that decision was made months ago when they didn’t bring her up as part of the act. But to outright say if you don’t break up with your boyfriend you’ll be fired, that’s more questionable. It’s just difficult for me to believe someone in that position would ever say that because of the legal implications. Between her suspension and Del Rio leaving you know the situation would be tenuous anyway, but this being said only makes it more difficult for both sides, but she has not officially at least left the promotion as of press time and is still under contract for a number of years. In fact, at press time, WWE has not even acknowledged that Del Rio is no longer with the promotion which is surprising since the belief was it would be acknowledged by now.
Update to recent Paige news. Supposedly Del Rio recently contacted the WWE's Total Divas rep about the firing allegations but the guy refused to comment on what actually happened.

  • According to the Observer, Season 4 for Lucha Undeground is in serious doubt due to nobody being told when the next set of tapings will occur (some teases at a possible October 2016 or January 2017 date) and the company still dealing with serious financial problems.
  • Also according to the Observer, WWE's recent deal to enter the Indian market will not allow them to kick TNA out of it. Was some speculation WWE would try in order to get the entire market but Sony who owns the tv channels showing wrestling actually wants more wrestling companies signed.
