WEDNESDAY NEWS UPDATE
WWE
Olympic gold medalist wrestler Gable Steveson told Sports Illustrated that he’ll be attending SummerSlam: “I’m heading over to Vegas to watch the champ Roman Reigns do his thing. John Cena is great, but he’s still going to have to acknowledge Roman Reigns.”
Steveson also said that he’d be a “Paul Heyman Guy” if he were to ever sign with WWE: “If I ever go to WWE, I’d be a ‘Paul Heyman Guy.’ Heyman is a legend. We’d be two people doing great things, and that would be a tough team to beat. And I’ve known Brock since I was in high school. He’s been there for me for a long time, making sure I do things the right way and put my best foot forward.”
Sasha Banks appeared on the latest episode of Barstool Sports’ Rasslin’ with Brandon F. Walker podcast. Banks discussed headlining WrestleMania 37 night one this April: “To main event WrestleMania, that was my biggest, biggest, biggest dream, so big that I didn’t even think it was possible. You would never think that as a woman in WWE or as a woman in general that you would be in the headline, main eventing, Wrestle Frickin Mania. To go out there and wrestle in front of a crowd when we hadn’t been in front of them for a year in a half. To get the reception we did and to deliver and kill it and to have people still talk about that match, it’s the best feeling in the world. To go home, leaving people happy and saying ‘that was the match of the night, that was the main event, male or female, period. That was just the greatest.’ That’s something we’re going to remember for the rest of our lives.”
On last night’s NXT, Gigi Dolin picked up her first win since signing with WWE. Dolin defeated Amari Miller on the show. Dolin is now part of a duo with Jacy Jayne in NXT. WWE uploaded a post-show interview with them after Dolin’s win.

Matt Clement (formerly known as Tyler Breeze) is the guest on today’s edition of Insight with Chris Van Vliet. When asked if he wants to return to pro wrestling, Clement said he doesn’t think now is the right time for him to go to AEW: “It depends. I mean there’s a lot happening in wrestling right now. It’s cool and it’s something we tell our students at Flatbacks (the wrestling school he and Shawn Spears owns). We say to the students, ‘Guys, it’s not as far away as you think. The students we are training now have been on AEW Dark and NXT. It’s right there. Right now is a good time in wrestling. But right now, let’s say on AEW, there are a lot of people debuting, and there are a lot of people moving around all over the place. If I go there, I don’t know if it would make a massive impact. Now it’s kind of the norm. People are going over there, and there might be some big names going over there. Nobody knows what is happening, but I don’t think now is the right time for me to go there. At the same time, I have wrestled for 14 years straight. I’m okay with taking a little bit of a break. My body likes it, and I am getting enough wrestling at the school to keep my body good. I’m not currently taking any bookings. Going out there and getting injured, it doesn’t really appeal to me. If there was a match that was fun, I think I might do it, but I have scratched the wrestling itch, but if it comes back, maybe.”
