WWE

  • The full segment from last night’s Raw involving AJ Lee, CM Punk, Becky Lynch, and Seth Rollins
  • Kari Kimmel, who sings AJ Lee’s entrance theme, wrote on Instagram: “AJ Lee is back! And yep…That’s still me on the theme song. I sang “Let’s Light it Up” over a decade ago, and it’s so awesome to hear it lighting up the arena again! Grateful to be a part of something so iconic.”
  • Paul Heyman reacted to The Usos making fun of him on last night’s Raw: “I watched it. I’m glad the fact the fascist dictator of the Island of Relevancy @WWERomanReigns’ horrific guillotine on me is so celebrated. If you thought my actions at #WrestleMania were shocking, wait ’til you see what I am conspiring to pull off next!”
  • Michin reacted to AJ Styles’ Raw promo: “I’ll have your back forever, Uncle Al!”
  • NXT Anonymous has resurfaced, this time capturing Ethan Page talking to Myles Borne following his recent loss to Lexis King.
  • In an interview with Esports Insider, Booker T revealed he’s a huge gamer and is doing voiceovers for WWE’s video games: “Right now, it’s an honour for me, I’m actually doing some of the voiceovers as a commentator for the video games. I’m pretty stoked about that. As soon as I finished this boom, I get started with that in a few minutes. So, I’m a huge gamer. I’ve always been a gamer since I was a kid.”
  • Recent WWE Vault additions include Triple H & Shawn Michaels vs. The Legion of Doom from an October 1997 house show at the Nassau Coliseum, Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero in a steel cage match from the September 9, 2005 edition of SmackDown, AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn from Money in the Bank 2013, and two hours of “gritty brawls.”
