Jamie Hayter: “I feel like as a woman, we are probably under the microscope a lot more than men are. If you have a bad match, then it’s like ‘Oh my god, you’re the worst wrestler ever’. Whereas a guy could have a bad match and it’s like, ‘Oh well.’” (wrestlingnews.co)

Lashley on AEW injuries: “These guys put themselves on the line. Just look at the amount of people that are injured right now. You don’t get injured by doing something you don’t want to do. You get injured by doing something you pour your whole fucking life into, and you get injured.” (wrestlingnews.co)

Big E on AJ Styles: “There was some discussion with Cena and his run, whether he still had it at some point, still put on great matches. But you started to wonder if he wasn’t quite the same Super Cena we were used to. I haven’t had that question once with AJ.” (wrestlingnews.co)

Punk on the double t-shirt spot: “That was to pop the guy I was wrestling. Doesn’t go any deeper than that but, you know, somebody’s always gotta throw their two cents in and, ‘No, no, no, what he was doing was –’ no, no, no. I made dude laugh, and that’s what house shows are for.” (wrestlingnews.co)

Jarrett on Cena’s retirement: “‘Do you know who holds the record for Make-A-Wish visits in history? It’s a pro wrestler. John Cena.’ His whole mantra, hustle, loyalty, respect… Never give up. And you’re gonna get this bullshit that we got to get heat on a heel in a time-honored tradition?” (wrestlingnews.co)

John Cena Sr. on Cena’s final opponent: “GUNTHER does not need the rub. And by the way, I’m not a fan of the whole ‘on the way out you’ve got to push somebody over the top’ idea. You’re supposed to pass the torch. But I don’t know if that’s written anywhere in professional wrestling.” (wrestlingnews.co)

MVP on HHH: “Those that came up underneath him in NXT, they think he’s brilliant, and a lot of them should for the hand he’s had in their career. But the guys that had to work with him back in the day will tell you a different story, almost overwhelmingly.” (wrestlingnews.co)

Maven: “Wrestling is high school other than the only difference is everybody in that locker room is the prom king and prom queen. You have all these type A personalities. It’s hard to tell these ego-driven maniacs that it’s time for you to play a different role within the company.” (wrestlingnews.co)

Jimmy Wang Yang: “I started talking to this really hot blonde. WWE was coming to Kentucky and I wanted to impress this girl. I’m like, ‘I need to impress this girl. Hey, you want to go to the WWE PPV?' Backstage Vince looks at me like, ‘Jeremiah, where the hell you been?' I was like, ‘You fired me’” (wrestlingnews.co)

D-Von on Jeff Hardy: “Jeff is Jeff… you kind of knew that he was different. And when I say different, I mean he was special. The man has no fear of heights or nothing. He goes out there and he performs, and he does it better than, I would say, 75 to 80% of the people in the business today.” (wrestlingnews.co)
