• “If CM Punk would’ve married Stephanie McMahon, he would’ve become a bigger star” – Booker T

During his promo war with MJF on AEW Dynamite, CM Punk took an indirect shot at WWE Hall Of Famer Triple H.

Punk said MJF will only get to the top in AEW if he waits long enough for AEW President Tony Khan to have daughter and then MJF marries her (referring to Triple H marrying Vince McMahon’s daughter Stephanie).

2-Time WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T didn’t like this shot and said the following on his Hall Of Fame podcast:

“It ticks me off a little bit, I’ve worked with Hunter since WCW. Hunter was a bigger star than CM Punk was before he even married Stephanie McMahon and that’s just a fact.

As far as becoming a bigger star after that, of course he was going to become a bigger star after [marrying Stephanie], he was in the family now.

Look here, if CM Punk would’ve married Stephanie McMahon, he would’ve become a bigger star, perhaps.

But, CM Punk was a big star in WWE and they were treating him like he was a big star in WWE. I don’t see how or why anyone could think that CM Punk wasn’t treated like a mega star.”

Triple H and CM Punk have faced each other in singles matches two times (on an episode of SmackDown in 2010 and at the WWE Night Of Champions 2011 PPV), with The Game winning both matches.

They were scheduled to face off at WrestleMania 30 as well, but Punk quit the company a few months before the show.

• Backstage News On Why Paige Hasn’t Been Released From WWE

It’s been almost 4 years since former WWE Divas Champion Paige had a match.

She was forced to retire due to a neck injury, and she officially announced her retirement on RAW after WrestleMania 34.

After retiring, Paige became the General Manager of SmackDown in 2018, but that run came to an end in the same year.

Paige has made WWE appearances every now & then since.

A lot of fans are wondering why Paige (who isn’t doing anything in the company right now) hasn’t been released from WWE, while multiple top stars got released from the company due to COVID-19 related budget cuts.

Here’s what the Wrestling Observer reported:

“They feel there’s value in her in appearances and as far as things like that that. Her name’s strong enough to keep her employed and worth it for the company and also the injury and the career-ending nature of it, there might be some feelings on that as well.”

• AEW Star Confirms He’s Officially Retired From In-Ring Competition

Earlier this year, WWE Hall Of Famer Mark Henry revealed that he has dropped 80 lbs to get in shape, and is looking to end his in-ring career with a match in AEW.

He confirmed in multiple interviews that he will wrestle in All Elite Wrestling:

“Well, it’s definitely gonna happen in AEW. It’s not gonna be anytime soon I think. I want to be a 100%. I’m still nursing injuries from 4 years ago. Like, wrestling business is a tough business, it’s not meant for everybody.

Um, being in my home state it’ll be cool to be able to do that but just not this current time. I’m here in Austin, can’t wait to get to Garland, three-hour drive.”

However, Henry has now confirmed that he has changed his mind and won’t be returning to the ring ever again.

Below are the highlights from his interview with i95’s Large Dave:

On if he’ll have one final match in All Elite Wrestling:

“HA HA HA HA HA HA! I mean, Man, you made me laugh, I’m not getting back in there! If somebody hits me, I’m callin’ the police!”

On his role in AEW:

“Man, I am a Jack of all Trades, I’ve been blessed to be able to master a few of them, I’m new to the announcing, and the backstage announcing, but I’m doing pretty good, and I’m enjoying doing it, but I’m most proud of being a part of our community team.

To touch all of the members and fans of the communities that we go into, before we do our shows, that’s something special, we leave the place better than we found it.”

Mark Henry’s final match took place in 2018, at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV in Saudi Arabia, where he competed in a 50-man Royal Rumble match.

His final singles match took place in 2017, where he was defeated by Braun Strowman.

• Chris Jericho Reveals If He’s Considering Retirement

During a recent interview with Newsweek, WWF Legend & current AEW Superstar Chris Jericho talked about his longevity in pro-wrestling, retirement & more.

Below are the highlights:

On if his in-ring retirement is near at the age of 51:

“I think a lot of times people always kind of want to put a bow on everything but it really doesn’t work that way. I think part of the reason I’ve had such longevity is that I go with the flow and I follow my heart. Did I ever expect to be 31 years on the job? I can’t say that I did, but I can’t say that I didn’t.

I don’t think when you’re 19, you really think about [retirement]. I never really said OK, ‘I’m going to do it this long,’ and I still don’t. I don’t know how long I’m going to do the sport because I don’t think that way.

When people ask ‘how long are you going to do this,’ I say ‘I don’t know. When I feel like I don’t want to do it anymore.’ I don’t feel that way right now.”

On his longevity:

“I think one of the reasons why I’ve had such a long career, wrestling-wise, is the diversity and constant evolving and re-inventing that I do.

I can vividly remember, in about the year 2000, really thinking about how do I constantly stay relevant in what I’m doing? There’s a way to do that but you have to take chances and you have to be confident in your ability as a character and as a performer.”

• Another Confirmation Regarding The WrestleMania 38 Main Event Picture

Just like WrestleMania 36 & 37, WrestleMania 38 will also be a 2-night event, which will take place on April 2 & 3 at the AT&T Stadium.

There were a lot of rumors about The Rock vs. Roman Reigns finally taking place next year, but we can confirm that The Rock won’t have a match at WrestleMania 38.

We exclusively reported last month that WWE Officials are discussing Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre for the Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 38 – Night 2.

WWE Officials feel like this is the biggest match they can book at this point, given that The Rock isn’t available.

The Wrestling Observer has confirmed half part of the above update, as they are reporting that the Roman Reigns – Brock Lesnar feud won’t end at the WWE Day 1 PPV on January 1, and their feud will go all the way to WrestleMania 38.

WWE is currently building McIntyre as an unstoppable force once again on the blue brand, and he’s expected to get added to the Universal Title picture on the Road to WrestleMania.

• Nick Khan Could Replace Vince McMahon In WWE One Day

WWE CEO Vince McMahon is 76 years old and has been running the company for almost 40 years.

One of the biggest question nowadays is who will be Vince’s replacement once he’s gone.

According to the Wrestling Observer, it could be WWE President & Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan:

“I mean it’s kind of a Board of Directors thing, but probably (Nick Khan being Vince McMahon’s replacement), yeah. Unless they went and hired somebody else from the outside, but probably Nick Khan, yes.”

Nick has made a lot of big decisions in WWE in the last year, so this could become a reality one day.

While Vince has the final say in current decisions, Nick was behind some big WWE releases in the past year.

You can watch Nick Khan getting interviewed earlier this year below:
