On Fox Sports’ Out of Character with Ryan Satin, AJ Styles discussed trading gloves with The Undertaker after their Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36: “I called his wife [Michelle McCool] and was like, ‘What does he want? I need to get him something.’ She was like, ‘Give him your gloves, that would mean a lot to him if you signed your gloves.’ Michelle hooked me up. Hopefully, that was a gift he enjoyed. He actually sent his gloves to me with a very nice thank you letter.”
The XFL is planning to relaunch in 2023 after talks about collaborating with the CFL have been tabled.

Britt Baker told TalkSport about Rebel’s dislocated kneecap injury from last week’s Dynamite: “I was kind of unaware what was going on [in the ring]. I had a lot going on too because I got powerbombed through a table, so that was miserable. So we met back up in the medical room. I was in there after the table bump, she was in there because her knee popped out. But, as a team, we had a nice little squat in the back, got the knee popped right back in. We had a nice little shot to celebrate and, you know, Reba is a trooper! She’s a badass. We hung out the rest of the night, had a couple of drinks and some food and of course, she’s got some soreness, some swelling, this and that but she’s good to go. She’s going to be fine.”

It’s taking a while to write and it’s one of those things where I thought…I’m 40 now and have only lived half my life. I got approached about a book when I first left WWE the first time. I felt like my career was not even close to being done so there would be so much left out of the story. For me, the story isn’t just about the wrestling, it’s about my life as a whole because I’ve been through some stuff. It’s more the power of the journey. We’ll get there. I have started. When I’ll finish, I don’t know. It’s a big commitment. With the time that it takes, I would probably commit to one. We’ll see how well it does and then we’ll talk about another.”
