** Guest appearing on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett was UFC Hall of Famer and multi-time WWE Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey. Speaking about her time in WWE, Rousey wishes she could’ve been a heel more often.

That’s also why I really enjoyed being a heel, which, you know, wished they would have let me be a heel more often because that’s when I feel like I was happiest when I wasn’t trying to placate to the crowd. Purposely try to piss them off, and get a rise out of them and not trying to constantly pander.

** While at WWE World, The Ringer Wrestling Show sat down with Andrade and he spoke about reuniting with Zelina Vega on WWE TV going into WrestleMania XL. Andrade is glad they’re babyfaces now.

Before, it’s like that (business partner dynamic with Zelina Vega) but now it’s like my sister. I’m happy now because for a long time and for a long period, we worked like heels. Always the bad guys, always the bad guys, always the bad guys. Now, the good guys so it’s a game change. I’m happy. Like, okay, now babyface. Now we need (to) smile. We don’t need little crazy, little loca. We need more relaxed… I wanna work with my wife (Charlotte Flair) too. Maybe in tag, a mixed tag, I don’t know. Maybe versus Rhea (Ripley) and Dom (Mysterio), I don’t know.

** There’s an interview with Jade Cargill on Comicbook.com. She spoke about Natalya bestowing advice upon her and being supportive throughout her time in WWE.

It was great (training with Natalya). You know, she’s a veteran in the game. She gave a lot of advice. What I can do better, what I can enhance and (she’s) very vocal. Very kind, very sweet. You know, I think it was last week, I came (and wrecked house) against Damage CTRL. She was the first person that text me and (said), ‘Hey, you did phenomenal, you look great.’ She’s a locker room leader. I’m excited. I’m thankful to have her in our locker room.

** The newest episode of the Gorilla Position podcast featured a chat with Piper Niven. She explained why she wants a WrestleMania moment with Alba Fyre.

I’d be able to walk away (from wrestling) happy if I got my WrestleMania moment with Alba Fyre. Because we are destined to do this dance together forever for the rest of our lives. You know, whether beside each other, whether against each other, she brings out the best in me, I feel like I bring out the best in her and it would just be a really full circle for us to have our WrestleMania moment together.

** TMZ is reporting that Jason Kelce would be welcomed back to WWE with open arms following his appearance at WrestleMania XL night one.
