WWE has added a strange video to their YouTube page featuring an edited version of CM Punk’s entrance video with a goat in it. Very odd. You can check it out embedded in the video below.
John Cena granted a Wish at last night’s WWE RAW from Kansas City. Cena met Wish Kid Josh Jackson, who suffers from Brittle Bone Syndrome. Josh ended up meeting several WWE stars while at RAW. Here are a few photos:
WWE Diva Layla has outed Naomi and Jimmy Uso as WWE’s newest couple. We noted last week that one of the Usos and Naomi taped a segment with Natalya for E!’s Total Divas. Layla tweeted this weekend:
“The cutest couple ever #trueLove @wwenaomi @wwejimmyuso Awewwwwwe #lol”
The Rock spoke with CBS Cleveland reporter Chris Van Vliet to promote Fast 6 and says he’s confident his last wrestling match was against John Cena at WrestleMania 29.
Rock called WrestleMania 29 a dream scenario but had this to say about his most recent run with WWE:
“The 4 month run I had in WWE was really eye opening. I was able to see a lot of young talent that are very hungry and very humble. What’s interesting is there were some talent there who, it’s just the nature of the business, have become very sour grapes and miserable. The younger guys were very excited and there was that hunger that reminded me of myself 10 to 15 years ago when I first started.”
Rock also gave props to The Shield, Fandango and more. You can see the interview below:
Former WWE Diva Michelle McCool has finally broken her silence on the taboo topic of her marriage to The Undertaker. In collaboration with MichelleMcCool.net, the four-time champion candidly addresses her relationship with “The Deadman” in a video blog that will be released this summer. A teaser has been released where she appears to respond to critics attributing her lofty position in WWE to her influential partner rather than her ability to perform.
The four-time champion will address her marriage and other topics in the vlogs, including her dealings with WWE head Vince McMahon. The synopsis of the teaser is as follows: “Michelle McCool is trying something different with MichelleMcCool.Net. For years, she’s answered questions, written blogs, and has even tweeted back-and-forth on occasion with her Faithful Followers. This time, she’s going to change it up — she’s going to vlog. In her vlogs, Michelle’s at her most candid — like you’ve never seen her before. She’s talking about anything and everything, from her precious baby girl, to even her husband… yeah, him. Raw and real, Michelle doesn’t shy away from controversy; it’s a different side of Michelle McCool… the one you thought you’d never see.”
Months after her spring 2011 retirement from the squared circle, McCool was asked in an interview if she received resentment from her colleagues due to her relationship with The Undertaker and responded, “Bottom line: People in our business are always going to look to find reasons to see the negative in somebody and to become resentful. I don’t really know where it began: probably with me getting the tag as “Diva Search reject.” But I don’t know anybody who, if they had an opportunity like the Diva Search, they wouldn’t jump at it. If they didn’t jump at it, they’d be idiots.”
“People can say what they want to say, but at the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror. I know how hard I fought. I know how many storylines I pitched. I know how hard I worked in the ring. I can’t tell you the number of times I was one of the first people at the arenas or at TV, constantly trying to better myself. I can honestly say that my hard work paid off. My resilience paid off. My persistence paid off. That’s all there is to it. People are always going to say what they want to say and believe what they want to believe, but that’s the bottom line.”
WrestleChat reader Adam Burchfield (@AdamB_11) tweeted us this interesting tidbit. His PPV provider, Charter out of Tennessee, has this Sunday’s WWE “Extreme Rules” PPV rated as TV-14. Another reader, Jason Block (@beattheblock) confirmed that this event has also been rated TV-14 on DirectTV. It’s also now been confirmed that Comcast (Mike Harp, @harpm2012) has it listed as TV-14 and Sky in the UK (Brad Preston, @MrBradPreston) is listing the PPV as 15+.
Here is the screenshot Adam sent to us:

WWE has released a new “Haters Wanted” t-shirt for The Miz, who returned on RAW last night:
Powerlifter Adam “Big Country” Scherr has reportedly signed a deal with WWE. At the Arnold Classic earlier this year, Scherr told RXMuscle.com that he was negotiating with WWE and what they were offering was way better than what the Strongman competitions pay. At the Arnold Classic, Scherr suffered a bicep injury. Here are two photos of the 6 foot 7, 375lbs. Scherr:
Fandango and Chris Jericho tweeted to hype their dance-off on tonight’s RAW:
Fandango: “Having a dance off with Jericho is like putting Mike Tyson in the ring with Michael Cole… #JustDance.”
Jericho: “Having a Danceoff with Fandango on Raw is like having a game of musical chairs on Raw…oh yeah I won that, too.”
Jericho later noted that he was rehearsing for the dance-off after last night’s live event in Fort Worth, Texas. Jericho revealed he was training with dancer Edyta Sliwinska, who will be his partner on RAW tonight. Here’s a photo of Edyta:

Dolph Ziggler’s ex-girlfriend Amy Schumer appeared on Conan earlier this week and once again discussed sex with Ziggler.
“We were very different sexually, like he was very active in bed, he was like moving around,” Schumer noted. “He was in such good shape. When you’re naked with someone, you wanna be the one brining the thunder. I wanna be able to whisper things like, ‘You’re welcome’ or like, ‘you owe me for this.’”
Schumer made very similar comments on The Howard Stern Show last summer, stating that “the sex was too athletic… Always. [But] the first time, I was like, ‘Oh, this is cool. Nobody’s ever ragdolled me.’ He was spinning me like a Globetrotter.”
Although Ziggler was never mentioned by name during the segment on Conan, a photo was shown of him.
