  • Bryan Danielson wrote on Twitter regarding his upcoming match against Minoru Suzuki: “In 2004, I wrestled Minoru Suzuki 1 on 1. He beat the sh*t out of me.

Excited to show Mr. Suzuki what I’ve learned #DANIELSONvsSUZUKI”

  • Lio Rush was the guest on this week’s Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette. He talked about his current relationship with Mark Henry (h/t Fightful): “Me and Mark Henry’s relationship is super cordial now,” he said. “I think it came down to two very strong personalities and two very different eras of wrestling and we agree to disagree.

So originally, of course, Matt and people like Deonna and Adam Cole, so many people were going to be at All In, just backstage watching us. And when they sent that text, I mean, it was way too risky for any of them to be there, especially after being told not to. It was such a bummer, but it still feels like yesterday when I came back from my match to a hundred texts from Matt saying how awesome it was. I actually could cry thinking about it all.”
