BRYAN ROSE
WWE:
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Cody Rhodes spoke on what he wants his legacy to be. "I don’t want my wrestling legacy solely to be that I helped start an alternative wrestling company,” Rhodes said. “I’m really proud of that and I want it to be part of my legacy, but what I’ve always wanted is what I’m after right now. I’m getting a second chance at that, and that is my entire focus. I want to do this for my whole family. My wife, my daughter, my sister Teil, my mom. If I can’t hand this title to my dad, it would be wonderful to hand it to my mom.”
Rhodes also talked about his tattoo, saying there will soon be temporary tatoos on WWE Shop. “Temporary tattoos are going to be released by WWE Shop, and people now see it as an extension of me," he said. "That’s what it is. When I was here before, everyone tried to tell me who I was. That wasn’t a bad thing—I was searching, too. Now I’m reaching my final form. That’s why I am sticking to my guns about my character, keeping it as close as possible to who I am. But I’ll promise you this—I’m not getting another one.”
After Booker T on Raw Talk discussed how Seth Rollins had an ‘a lot of help’ in WWE, Rollins responded on Twitter. “This narrative is false. I started wrestling at 18 years old in back rooms of bars, in pole barns, at UAW Halls, the occasional parking lot. Lost money. Broke bones. Drove countless hours alone just to build a name that got erased the second I walked in the WWE door.”
The Most Wanted DLC Pack for WWE 2K22 has been released today, which adds Cactus Jack, Vader, The Boogeyman, NXT UK Champion Ilja Dragunov, and Indi Hartwell to the game’s roster.

AEW/ROH:
William Regal told Metro UK that he will never wrestle again. “No, never. No,” he said. “My last official match was against Cesaro. My last few years, I didn’t realise – it’s come out recently, I had a serious neck problem for 20-odd years. It finally caught up with me. All I ever wanted was a 20-year wrestling career when I started – I ended up with a 30-year wrestling career. I couldn’t have asked for any more. If you’re not me and you’re just looking from the outside, “Oh he should have been this, he should have been that” – no.”
