Karrion Kross spoke on The Ariel Helwani Show about his WWE contract situation. Here are some of his comments:

My contract was up last week. I never actually received an offer until last week. I got the offer. I wanted to know how they came to the valuation of that offer.

Just some information, metrics, analytics, that supported, ‘Hey, this is how we got here.’ When I inquired about that, they weren’t willing to provide that information and told me I had 24 hours to agree to the offer or they would rescind it. The next day, we talked.

I asked if they had the information, they don’t. I said, ‘I can’t make an informed decision without the information. I’d like to keep the dialogue open.’ They rescinded the offer. That’s where we’re at. I know how a lot of people feel when they make an exit. I can empathize with everybody’s experience.

Every exit experience is different. This isn’t to disparage WWE, but because there are so many convoluted stories going on, and to some degree can affect our livelihood, of what we’re supposed to be doing after.

People don’t want to reach out because they’re not sure if they are tampering. The goal has always been to be with WWE. My wife and I still want to be with WWE.

I’m at the table for conversations. I did not step out of the conversation. We still want to be there and want to work it out.

Samoa Joe recently spoke with Mike Johnson of PWInsider, and shared this about filming the new season of Twisted Metal as Sweet Tooth:

Normally, I would say the ring is always a much more precarious place to be in, but halfway through the season, I fractured my ankle.

Nothing crazy — we had done a series of pretty crazy driving stunts and some dangerous things here and there. Then it was just parking, and I had to hop out the back on some really rocky, busted-up asphalt.

I turned my ankle and spent the rest of the season taping it up and limping through it. Twisted Metal is incredibly physical — fighting scenes, driving scenes.

Anytime that car is driving, you see me in it, it’s me. It’s a demanding role, but spending enough time in the ring as I have, it’s no new territory.

Natalya wants to bring her Nattie Neidhart persona to WWE. She said this while doing an interview Cauliflower Alley Club:

I really want to bring Nattie to WWE. I definitely want to bring her to WWE. I think Nattie has to be handled very carefully because the second we bring her to WWE and we don’t have a good game plan, I think we can lose the character, so we have to handle her very carefully.

A big part of the inspiration for this character came from Mick Foley when he was Mick Foley in WWE and outside of WWE, he was Cactus Jack. I think a lot about Mick Foley and the contrast between those two characters and the creativity where it’s like, he can morph back into both of them.

He can do both of them, he can play both of them. I want to bring Nattie to WWE, we just have to make sure that the women of the division can handle Nattie because I’m not sure all of them can hang with Nattie.

Cody Rhodes has admitted to some hesitancy on stepping into a part-time role in WWE. He made these comments while on the SI Media with Jimmy Traina Podcast:

I don’t really know, I’m in uncharted territory. There are some projects that are not wrestling-related coming up that I’m very excited about. I’ve never been excited about anything outside of pro wrestling professionally before, and now I am. So… maybe?

I say maybe because when you connect with a fan, you can’t just disappear. You can step away for a little while, but if you’re gone too long, it hurts that relationship, and that scares me.

Oba Femi has a huge fan in TNA star Moose. He made these comments while doing an interview with Denise Salcedo:

Oh, man, I can say so many great things about Oba. He’s definitely going to go down as a generational guy. I’m glad that I was given the opportunity by WWE to have that match with him.

I hope I’ve made it memorable for all the Moose fans and all the staff and coaches there in WWE, but I enjoyed that match also. It was definitely a learning experience for me, because it taught me how WWE does things, and it’s so different than how TNA does things and how TNA builds their matches.

So it was definitely a learning experience for me, and it was also a learning experience for Oba because he did a couple of shows and he made a couple of stops in TNA.

He saw how we did things. Which I’m sure he could tell you, is a little bit different than how they do things there. So, I’m happy that we had great chemistry. I’m happy that we delivered, and I felt like we over-delivered, because people didn’t realize how good this match was going to be until it was over.

From everything I saw, we got high praise for it. So yeah, hopefully we get to lock horns again, and hopefully it will be a different outcome if we do.

While Gunther was on the Six Feet Under Podcast, The Undertaker mentioned that he would've liked to have worked with the former champion. His comments:

If I had anything left in the tank, you’re the one guy that I would consider coming out of retirement for. From the moment that I saw you at Clash at the Castle, I was like, ‘Dang, I would love to have worked with you.
..

Man, I wish you would have got your s**t together a little sooner and got here a little quicker. No man, everything happens and happens for a reason. You’re at the right place at the right time. But yeah, it would have been good. It would have been really good. And I would have, yeah, I might have put you over.

WWE Women's World Champion Naomi was not medically cleared to defend her belt against IYO SKY on Monday Night Raw. There has been no update on how bad her injury is, but the commentary team said she would be out for "weeks".

This puts her match with Stephanie Vaquer in jeopardy in Paris, France. Naomi did post a video of her falling off her scooter recently, but there's no word if that's why she's not medically cleared.

Mercedes Mone confirmed that she does have her own locker room to stay away from "drama". Here's her comments from MVP and Dwayne Swayze’s “Markin Out” podcast:

For me, it’s night and day. First of all, I have my own locker room [laughs]. So, I’m not in it. I like being away from it. I don’t want to be part of the drama or anything.

When I am around the girls, it just feels like such a community of wanting to make this place grow. There is a hunger. I feel like we still feel so underground and we want to make it up here.

All these women have so much drive and passion. I can feel it. They fire me up. I want to be the best because they want to be the best. Same with the guys, too.

The energy with the guys. It feels so different. I don’t want to say, ‘WWE is bad and people have egos,’ it just feels like we’re all trying to fight for something and we’re trying to fight to make this the best. I love people who have passion and hunger.
