• “I main evented WrestleMania 30 and it doesn’t mean much to me” – Bryan Danielson
In the main event of WrestleMania 30, Bryan Danielson aka Daniel Bryan defeated Randy Orton and Batista in a Triple Threat Match to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Bryan also competed in the opening match of the main show of WrestleMania 30, where he defeated Triple H to qualify for the title match later in the night. During an interview with Sun Sport, Bryan explained why this moment didn’t mean much to him:
“I main evented WrestleMania 30, and honestly, it doesn’t mean that much to me. My sister and my niece got to come in the ring. But I was about to marry my wife the following Friday and they wouldn’t let her come to the ring, they didn’t want her to be in the thing.
And it wasn’t just that, I was going through a ton of neck pain, and all these other things, so these things that seem like cool moments to a viewer, there’s all this other stuff going on in a performer’s life, that could make that moment not as valuable to them as it is to the people viewing.”

• Rhea Ripley Reacts To Drew McIntyre’s Comment About Her A$$
Drew McIntyre is well-known for playfully trolling his WWE peers on social media, with many of his posts gaining widespread attention. On the Impaulsive podcast, Logan praised Drew’s social media presence, even admitting that he was a bit wary of catching some heat from Drew himself.
Drew responded by saying, “I’m here to take everybody out. It’s amazing to watch it grow. It’s unbelievable the power of social media. I learned being outside the company, specifically the last two years, the power of it and watching the platform grow. From an engagement perspective, I’m the most powerful in the company besides Rhea Ripley’s a$$. I’ve seen the numbers. These are facts.”
While Drew’s comment about Rhea Ripley’s engagement was meant as a cheeky joke, some fans felt it went overboard. Ripley defended him online, stating: “Guys… I understand. But it really wasn’t malicious.”
• CM Punk Reveals Why Triple H Threw Away His WWE Return Promo Script
Wrestling is full of tough moments, but even the most seasoned pros can get butterflies under the right circumstances. CM Punk opened up about a surprisingly vulnerable moment from his high-profile WWE return in 2023 – and the helping hand he received from none other than Triple H. Speaking with SPORTbible, Punk shared that backstage before his return promo in 2023, he was more nervous than most fans would ever expect. Updating fans on the emotional moment, Punk admitted he actually brought a sheet of paper with his planned promo written out word-for-word, worried about nailing his lines after so long away from the WWE spotlight.
That’s when Triple H stepped in. Sensing Punk’s nerves, Triple H took the sheet of paper from him, crumpled it up, and tossed it aside, reportedly telling Punk to just go be you. According to Punk, that simple act took the pressure off – a reminder that the best promos come from the heart, not from a script. Here’s what Punk said:
“I was running around with a piece of paper in my hand that had whatever I was supposed to say. I keep looking at it. Triple H gets up and comes up to me and goes, ‘What are you doing, man? You’re freaking everybody out.’ ‘What do you mean I’m freaking everybody out?’ ‘Nobody here has ever seen you hold a script in your hand and read it like you’re not just going to go out there and say whatever the hell you want.’
I’m like, ‘Oh, well, you know, I’m new around here. I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes.’ He grabbed the piece of paper, crumpled it up, and threw it out. ‘You’re CM Punk. Just go out there and talk to the people.’ ‘Right. Right.’ That’s what I needed to hear because I’m trying to move in a certain way, and he’s like, ‘No, go be you. That’s why you’re here.”
